Arjaan De Feyter was engaged to create the Antwerp lawyer offices of Dutch law firm Deknudt Nelis.
The offices are located in the new mixed-use blocks called The Cubes, occupying the site of a historic malt distillery.
The company – which also has offices in Brussels and Courtrai – requested that their third office should evoke a sense of “authenticity and honesty”.
They also wanted the workspace to boast a similar aesthetic to de Feyter’s own studio, which is located nearby.
The architect and his team decided to craft partition walls from panels of glass and blackened steel, contrasting the space’s whitewashed surfaces that have been treated with a lime and mineral coating.
Dark oak veneer has been used to create the kitchen cabinetry, while large slabs of deep green marble from a large island counter and splashback.
The same marble has also been used to line the back of a full-height display unit in the boardroom and is complemented by murky green linen curtains.
The architects also stipulated walnut for the desks for company executives and the main meeting room table, above which is suspended a ridged gold lamp.
There is a definite feeling of solidity and wealth expressed in this interior.
