IN BETWEEN:
Now you see it, now you don’t. The facade renovation at Frankrijklei 121 was based on a grid of panels with subtle seams. The new protruding window surrounds are a nod to the framed windows of the townhouse next door. On a sunny day, its shadows create a graphic interplay with the grid. At night, the facade lighting comes into view, once again aligned with paneling and windows.

IN BETWEEN:
Frankrijklei no. 121 got a new coat! As the existing facade panels came loose, the opportunity arose to address the ’80 building and carry out an energy-efficient renovation. The graphic looking 80ties facade with with cut-outs and overhangs was evened out to make way for a more serene architectural look, in tune with its prominent neighbors.

SPACE WELL:
Efficiency in time, budget, and sustainability was key to the renovation of the Spacewell office. VIVA repurposed furniture, reused glass partitions, and sourced local flooring materials. Wooden profiles for glass walls minimized costs and delivery times. This circular approach ensured a responsible and cost-effective transformation.

Thanks for the great teamwork, @deholi.interieur! 🙌

SPACE WELL:
Before and after of the office’s breakout space! 👀

Office space re-imagined. As remote work becomes the norm, there is less demand for traditional workstations. At Spacewell’s Wilrijk office, only 30% of desks were occupied. Meeting rooms sat empty or were used as individual workspaces, leading to unused space, higher costs, and reduced team spirit. To fix this, VIVA partnered with the client to create a budget-friendly redesign, transforming the office into a cozy, collaborative workspace, encouraging employees to return.
