Philanthropic Foundation

Context

This philanthropic foundation, committed to a just and sustainable future, supports global initiatives in education, social justice, faith, and climate action. Their mission is to empower changemakers to build equitable societies and transform systems. As they moved into their new Brussels offices, they entrusted Out Of Office with creating a flexible, human-centric workspace that aligns with their vision and working philosophy.

Challenge

The foundation needed a work environment that reflects its mission and values, fostering collaboration between internal teams and external partners. Sustainability was at the core of the project, requiring the reuse of existing materials and installations to minimise environmental impact—all while respecting strict budget and timeline constraints.

Solution

Out Of Office designed a functional yet inspiring workspace, carefully balancing collaboration, flexibility, and sustainability. The transformation included:

• A central Café: The beating heart of the space, encouraging informal exchanges and co-creation.
• A versatile work zone: Designed to support teamwork, deep focus, and seamless interaction.
• Thoughtful material reuse: Prioritising sustainability through adaptive reuse of existing installations.
• A warm and inviting atmosphere: Strengthening connections between colleagues and partners.

By integrating sustainable design principles, the new office is more than a workplace—it is a manifestation of the foundation’s mission, empowering teams to work in an environment that truly supports their purpose.

Result

The new Brussels office now embodies a workspace built for impact, where sustainability, collaboration, and purpose converge. The transformation fosters stronger connections, enhances team dynamics, and amplifies the foundation’s influence on the world.
