Met Plaizier
Pleasure, and that’s it!
Context
Met Plaizier is much more than just a café—it’s a place for connection, exchange, and inspiration. Located at the heart of our workspace at Out Of Office in Uccle, this unique spot blends gastronomy, coworking, and creativity in a warm and open atmosphere. It serves as our canteen, but also as a coffee store, a true meeting place for locals. People come here to meet, have lunch, work…
The architecture of Met Plaizier was designed to create a natural link with our offices. Thanks to a visual opening between the kitchen and our workspace, we integrate café life into our professional daily routine, encouraging transparency, innovation, and spontaneous exchanges.
Challenge
The goal was to design a space that blends hospitality and work, without compromising atmosphere or functionality:
- A warm and inspiring café, where people can enjoy high-quality products in a welcoming environment.
- A meeting and co-creation space, fostering exchanges between professionals, clients, and visitors.
- A space reflecting Out Of Office’s philosophy, embracing openness, flexibility, and community connection.
- A modular concept, adapting to coffee breaks, lunches, coworking sessions, and events.
Solution
Out Of Office designed a hybrid and lively space, tailored for well-being and creativity:
- An open architectural concept, allowing a seamless transition between the café and workspace.
- Natural materials and warm colour tones, for an authentic and welcoming atmosphere.
- A flexible layout, with modular seating that adapts to the needs of visitors and digital workers.
- A space designed for spontaneity, encouraging unexpected encounters and collaboration opportunities.
With this concept, Met Plaizier is more than just a café—it embodies a new way of working and interacting, balancing relaxation and productivity in an inspiring setting.
Result
Today, Met Plaizier is a lively and inspiring place, where professionals, locals, and Out Of Office team members meet daily. It is an environment that fosters creativity and collaboration, while remaining warm and welcoming.
Its direct connection to our offices and Studio 925, our event space, makes it a true hub for exchange and innovation. Here, serendipity is everywhere—every encounter can spark a new idea or collaboration.
