VIVA Office is a place where ideas come to life, where every corner inspires. The flexible workspace, conceived with a focus on color and sustainability, evolves with our way of working: always dynamic, always in motion.
Full textThe VIVA office – located in the heart of the city with views of the historic dock warehouses and the Scheldt River – offers a unique combination of urban dynamism and serenity. The passing boats, the ever-changing light and the beautiful sunsets give a day at the office a special touch.
Flexibility was a major asset when choosing the location, allowing for easy future modifications of the space. Currently, the shared workspace is located along the front facade of the building, bathing in natural light. The rear section serves as a meeting and quiet zone, lunchroom, and material library. If needed, these functions can be effortlessly swapped.
As the VIVA office is being rented, it is important that all interior changes can be easily removed or reused. Floor-to-ceiling curtains proved a flexible answer to screen the sun and as a movable element to divide spaces where needed. A centrally positioned folding-and-sliding wall provides an acoustic separation between the work and meeting areas.
At VIVA, we choose color – both in our projects and in our own working environment. The green kitchen, finished with Trespa panels, served as the starting point for the color palette. From there, harmonious shades of soft green and pink were incorporated, supported by a base of white and black. The central acoustic sliding wall is a striking focal point, with one side in a warm pink and the other in a chrome finish.
Sustainability was central to the material and brand choices. The lighting is by the Belgian brand XAL and is mounted on tracks, making it easily adjustable. The acoustic walls are finished with panels from Kvadrat, made from recycled hotel sheets. Even the old VIVA meeting tables were given a second life: the sturdy bases were refinished in a bold fluorescent orange, while the tops were renewed with Forbo furniture linoleum. A fitting contribution in line with the playful spirit of VIVA.
