Design studio Going East has overhauled Constantin Brodzki's distinctive concrete office block in Brussels to create the second location for Belgian co-working office company Fosbury & Sons.
Fosbury & Sons ? the co-working company founded by Stijn Geeraets, Maarten Van Goold and Serge Hannecart ? has taken over 7,000 square metres of the modernist 1970s building, which helped to establish Italian-born Brodzki as one of Belgium's most innovative architects.

Formerly the headquarters of cement company CBR, the building boasts a distinctive facade made up of 756 oval windows in curved, pre-fabricated concrete panels.
The renovation focused on making the interior feel more like a hotel or a home than an office. Corridors were removed from the layout to create more open spaces.
"The character of the [Brodzki] building, its history, its exceptional architecture, the spirit of the age in which it was built? it just fit," said Geeraets. "It has an extraordinary architecture and it?s also super functional."
"We wanted to respect what was still there but also set out a new layout for Fosbury & Sons. Now you have more the Japanese/James Bond vibe and before it was more modernist," she told Dezeen.

The building occupies a site near to the major Brussels artery road Avenue Louise and the Sonian Forest.
