Realizations A new building with character

A new building with character

After 60 years, the existing headquarters of Securex, an international HR company, was in urgent need of renovation. A new building with character replaces the old headquarters, providing the area around the Watersportbaan in Ghent with an architectural boost. The state-of-the-art new building is an office building with technical inventiveness, where sustainability, flexibility and modularity are central. Wondering how we extended all this into their office interior?

Facts & Figures

The new building of no less than 6,600 square meters offers many possibilities. For example, on the ground floor you will find a reception area with waiting furniture, counters and a large kitchen with cozy lunch areas. The remaining 5 floors have as many as 450 workstations. The large landscape offices are broken up by 18 Ply Booths. In these, people can withdraw when there is a need for good acoustics during a zoom call or for ultimate concentration. On each floor there is also a meeting room, a small lunch area with bar and a red hidden room.

Harmonious reception area

When you walk into Securex, you feel that it is one with the outside. The use of the same outdoor tiles and the large windows create an open feeling and lots of light. Nature is literally drawn in here. A good first impression is made here with private and stylish waiting furniture. This furniture provides the space with the necessary acoustics.

Hidden red rooms

To escape from all those 450 workstations, two hidden rooms have been created. From the outside, it just looks like a big bookcase. But inside you will find a cozy moody atmosphere. The red carpet, the lack of natural light and the red upholstered chairs create this mood. These warm colors create a pleasant environment, where you can meet with colleagues or clients in peace and quiet.

Meetings & relaxation

The meeting rooms are immersed in white and beige tones complemented by natural wood materials. Long white curtains along the window line with the corridor provide tactile and privacy here. On the executive floor, that meeting space gets an even more luxurious edge with a wood-print conference table and comfortable swivel chairs.

In the same color palette as the meeting rooms, the lunch areas and cozy spaces are decorated. Different seats, lounge chairs and even bar stools are interspersed. This creates a playful and cozy space that creates a relaxed atmosphere.
