BECENTRAL - THE ANGEL HUB

Delivered - 2019

300 m2 dedicated to business angels

Inspired by the central station’s Art Deco Architecture itself and some of its remains wooden panelings, the project tends to create a warm and cosy atmosphere by the utilisation of China inspired vintage wallpapers, vintage wall lamps and furnitures, warm colors and wooden textures. The campus nests several offices and meeting rooms, as the ‘Don Drap Room’, tribute to the series ‘Mad Men’ being one of our influences for that particular project. The space also hides little corners were people like to have lunch or informal meetings.

‘The biggest Digital Campus of Europe’

BeCentral is a new digital campus located in Brussels Central Station. Co-founded and supported by more than 40 entrepreneurs, its mission is to bridge the digital skills gap and accelerate the digital transformation of Belgium, by hosting schools or digital workshops in an entrepreneurial ecosystem.

For this project, we have several constraints such as the need for our client to provide quality spaces at very competitive prices, as well as a significant speed in the delivery of spaces due to the rapid growth of the business. . Our expertise is therefore focused on four points:

1. a great speed of reaction throughout our mission;
2. quality design at a low price thanks to the constant development of new solutions via real-time monitoring of budgets;
3. A network of proven, fast, competitive and efficient contractors;
4. The recycling of a maximum of existing elements (glazed frames, doors) and the conservation or enhancement of certain existing historic elements (paneling, exposed concrete ceilings).
