Antwerp의 공유오피스, 거점오피스 Fosbury & Sons ; workspace, interior design

Located a stone’s throw away from the city’s magnificent Central Station, Fosbury & Sons is not only bound to become a magnet for Antwerp’s digital nomads and freelancers in need of a homely office away from home, but has also been conceived to welcome companies looking for meeting rooms as well as any freelance professional looking to work in a stimulating environment that is multi-faceted and conducive to networking.

“In 1968, Dick Fosbury revolutionized high jumping by leaping with his back towards his stick – and winning the Olympics”, Geeraets and Van Gool explain with regards to the project’s name. “Now that is exactly how everyone does it. Like Fosbury, we want to set a new bar for something as conventional as going to the office. We want to demonstrate that working can be a positive and pleasant force in life.” The Sons, in the second part of the project’s sobriquet, thus refers to all professionals adhering to this style of working.

 

A library provides books from local publishing house Luster, who specialize in culture, design, photography and food books. Skincare from Marie-Stella-Maris, healthy food options from Antwerp-based Coffeelabs, a laundry service, gym sessions and showers complete the exhaustive service of this concept, which is open 24/7, with various formulas for various types of memberships.

Thanks to architectural interventions and material choices that differentiate between the communal spaces and the cozier work areas, Fosbury & Sons is an all-round experience spread over a single six-metre high storey that’s been divided into extra floors where each nook and cranny has been put to very good use indeed.
