In the heart of Brussels, an empty and unimaginative office space has undergone a remarkable transformation to become the latest jewel in a prominent coworking chain’s crown. Covering a sprawling 900 square meters, this L-shaped space has been reimagined with a focus on functionality, aesthetic appeal, and budget-conscious design. Here’s how we turned a blank slate into a vibrant, creative hub that caters to the diverse needs of modern professionals.
When embarking on the interior design project for this coworking space, we had three core considerations: functionality, aesthetic appeal, and budget.

The new coworking space in Brussels is a testament to how thoughtful design and creative problem-solving can transform an uninspiring office into a vibrant, functional, and aesthetically pleasing environment. By blending urban and natural elements with practical considerations, we have created a space that meets the diverse needs of modern professionals while staying true to the client’s vision and budget. The result is a coworking space that is poised to become a favorite among users, offering a variety of scenarios and atmospheres to suit every work style.
