A Dutch hospital that dates back to 1845 is the unconventional setting for co-working company Fosbury & Sons' first international branch, which features interiors by Going East.
Spanning 6,000 square-metres, Fosbury & Sons' Amsterdam space borders the waters of the city's Prinsengracht canal. Until now the co-working company had exclusively operated out of Belgium, with existing branches in Antwerp and Brussels.

The latest location takes over a 19th-century hospital called Prinsengrachtziekenhuis that only closed its doors to patients in 2014.
Local practice MVSA Architects has been renovating the building over the past five years, but Belgian studio Going East were bought on board to make its interiors co-working ready.

Claiming that it was "too easy" to go with the classic office aesthetic, the studio set out to create a more upscale ambience for the companies and young professionals using the space. "It was one of our first feelings when we entered the building ? to break the connection with the hospital and to bring a new, grandeur luxury to it," the Going East founders, Anais Torfs and Michiel Mertens, told Dezeen.

The ground floor now accommodates an expansive lobby where members can lounge and mingle throughout the day.
Plush sectional sofas upholstered in thick boucle fabric have been used to dress the space, as well as a selection of contemporary artworks that were specially curated by local galleries.
