该遗址周围是大房子，典型的佛兰芒居民区。最初的建筑也被设想为一个大花园内的一座大别墅(7个相连单元)。

The site is surrounded by large houses, typical for a Flemish residential area. The original building was also conceived as a large villa (7 connected units) within a large garden.

由于建筑的规模，新办公室的室内设计是建立在一个小城市的基础上的，你可以在那里散步、工作、坐着吃东西，就像在一个真正的城市里一样。在研究了古老的、有机发展的城市的规划之后，史蒂文·范登堡建筑师在建筑(‘Rambla’)中设计出了一种带有广场(‘plazas’)、梯田、大楼梯、…的长廊。

Because of the scale of the building, the interior design of the new offices was based on a small city where you walk, work, sit and dine like in a real city. After studying plans of old, organically grown cities Steven Vandenborre Architects worked out a kind of promenade in the building (‘Rambla’) with squares (‘Plazas’), terraces, large stairs,…

设计的主要目的是消除所有干扰物体，使建筑的典型特征，如混凝土柱，混凝土地板，大空间，大全景窗口。

The main goal of the design was to eliminate all disturbing objects and to make a feature of the typical character of the building like the concrete columns, concrete floors, big spaces, large panoramic windows.

最大的干预措施位于主要入口区域。两扇大窗户被做成，以获得建筑物内公园的感觉。楼层的新开口和混凝土大厅中间的一个大的“多横截面楼梯”使各层间的相互作用更加有趣，并使空间具有一种大教堂般的感觉。

The biggest interventions are situated in the main entrance zone. Two large windows were made to get the feeling of the park inside the building. A new opening in the floor and a large ‘multi-cross-section staircase’ in the middle of the concrete hall makes the interaction between the levels more interesting and gives the space a cathedral-like feeling

景观办公室由玻璃、深色木材和毡制成的墙壁隔开。通过使用这些材料，再加上地板上的地毯，感觉就像在工作一样。基于约瑟夫·贝伊作品的毛毡是一种声学和美学的解决方案，是对现有混凝土结构的一种借鉴。

The landscape offices are separated by walls made of glass, dark stained wood and felt. By using these materials, complemented by carpet on the floors, it feels like working home. The felt which is based on the work of Joseph Beuys is an acoustic and aesthetic solution and a reference to the existing concrete structure.
