벨기에 위치한 오피스 리뉴얼 프로젝트는 역사성과
엘레강스를 갖는 심플하며 미니멀한 공간계획을 목표로
디자인된다. 150스퀘어미터의 오피스는 1900년대 초 설립된 직물공장의
일부분을 리노베이션하여 대형 메인 스페이스와 4명의 직원을 위한
작은 사무실로 구성된다. 사실, 흥미로운 점은 이러한 엘레강스한 오피스 디자인이
디자인 스튜디오나 건축회사가 아닌 주로 종자를 수출입하는
벨고-시드 란 점이다. -아마도 국제적인 비즈니스를 하는
회사업무의 특성이 반영될 결과가 아닐까?-
이러한 내부공간은 모던하며 엘레강스한 다크팀버 월 판넬,
라이트 오크 플로어와 기존 공장의 요소인
브릭천장과 아이온으로 마감된 기둥의 매치로 개성있는
오피스랜드스케이프를 완성한다.

If we at TCH were to establish a new office, this is what it could look like. A clean, minimalist space, with a touch of history and elegance.
The 150 square meter office is located in Kortrijk, Belgium, in a historically important, restored textile weaving factory from the early part of 1900.
Vincent Van Duysen Architects handled not only the restoration of the space but also the interior design, and the design of much of the furniture.
The office consists of a large main space and smaller offices for the four staff members. Most interesting about this elegant project is the fact that the office is not for a design studio or architectural firm, but for Belgo-Seeds, a business involved in global importing and exporting of agricultural products, especially seeds. A shelving unit with beautifully lit glass containers of seeds is the only direct reference to this. The brick ceiling and cast-iron columns are restored nods to the industrial past of the building, while the dark timber wall paneling, light oak floors and soft hues of fabrics and furnishings add a comfortable feel. Most of the furniture was custom-designed by Vincent Van Duysen including the desks, all storage units and the pendant lighting. The office chair used in this project is the brown leather version Van Duysen’s design for Bulo. The coffee table is a custom version of Van Duysen’s Surface for B&B Italia:. We love the lack of visual noise; the spaciousness, openness and sophistication achieved with the intelligent use of glass, screens and lighting.
