Roadmap

After a preliminary research, we put together the initial vision with floor plans, mood boards, ideas for some areas, timeline and budgets.

Design

We learn more about your brand, ways of working and team needs to create detailed designs and an accurate budget for the execution.

Execution

From demolition to hanging the artwork, we turn our designs into reality and the dream becomes tangible.

Your complete project in 10 steps,
from idea to reality

Introductions & office visit
Initial alignment

We begin by connecting over your office vision. We get to know each other, discuss your expectations, needs and why the current office is not working for the team.
We also visit your Belgian office together with our designers to gather technical information about your space.

Roadmap
Preliminary research & design proposal

We conduct a preliminary research to establish project framework, vision, deliverables, timeline and budgets, and present you with a design proposal. Once accepted, we swiftly move into the Design phase.

Research
Co-creation workshop & survey

Before designing, we understand your objectives and needs. With the help of co-creation workshops and surveys, we identify your workspace needs and team culture. Simultaneously, our 3D scans and technical analyses will show physical limitations, conditions and functionality to inform custom concepts.

Design concept & floor plan options

The design process is collaborative: we offer you different options of floor plans within the scope of what's possible for your objectives, space, budget and timeline, and you choose your favorite concept.

Design development
Sourcing furniture & equipment

Once you've chosen the look & feel concept and approved the floor plan, this is where the designs take shape. We choose the specific flooring, custom made furniture and color palettes aligned with your company's brand guidelines.

Office renovation of a coworking space Start it @KBC Antwerp
“Immediately hooked.

When I got here, and I saw the office space I was immediately hooked. For us it was one of the biggest perks of the start-it program.
Being together changes you from being employees to being friends”

“A great investment that is still paying off.

I think it is important to see it not from a pure cost perspective but to understand there’s a productivity gain,
it makes you more attractive as an employer. It’s also very important for the global well-being of employees."

“Worry-free process.

Renovating your offices is more than building walls and putting in furniture. It’s really about people. The key is to find a Design&Build partner that understands that.
Everything went smoother than expected!”

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you only designing workspaces, or do you do other types of projects?

We made an exception a few times when we really liked the mission, e.g. designing the classroom of the future for NXT-PRO, so don't be afraid to pitch us your grand idea!

How much time do we need to dedicate to the project on our side?

We'd like to answer that question in one sentence, but it's not that simple. The time you'll need to invest will be based on the internal communication you'll need to do, the scale and complexity of the space, whether there's a Single Point Of Contact or not, etc.

From our side, we organize weekly 1-hour calls with your Single Point Of Contact throughout the project to share updates and ask crucial questions. From your side, you'll need to allocate the appropriate amount of time for internal decision-making and discussions.

Do you work with templates and pre-built concepts?

No, we're not fans of a copy-paste method. We love to create custom spaces because each client is unique, and your workspace should be too. We always start with listening and understanding your needs on 3 levels: organizational, team, and individual perspectives. Then we make a proposal within the budget, time, and space requirements.
