ING: hybrid activities reflecting the workplace evolution

In this unprecedented fast-paced evolution the workplace has been going through, our close collaboration with ING on their 10,875 m2 building in Louvain-la-Neuve was a fabulous opportunity to successfully implement hybrid activities in an office building by blurring the boundaries.

In the heart of the space, the impressive atrium mimics a modern rainforest with its multiple layers: forest ground, understory, canopy and emergent. Our approach to scaling down the atrium volume offers different levels of intimacy in the informal spaces around the central bar and nearby meeting center and restaurant areas.

Different materials and colours for different heights and functionalities with a common guideline, nature.

ING staff are both spectators of and participants in the life of the building as it proposes three open floors towards the atrium. The acoustics qualities were essential to provide well-being, transversality and interconnectedness from the reception area to the recharge areas to the office floors, each with a design and mood of its own.
