The workspace design of AG Charleroi is developed through the approach of community and spatial organization with a concept twist that responds to its unique city context.

Here, reused ceilings, technical flooring, partitions and furniture blend in with a refreshed and cohesive identity. The design draws inspiration from Charleroi’s industrial heritage to the surrounding natural landscapes profiles. These influences form a mood board that blends materials such as pine wood, metal and concrete with the shapes of nature.
