Swift

Context

In 2011, SWIFT, the world’s leading provider of secure financial messaging services, decided to transform its headquarters in La Hulpe to adopt a flexible, activity-based working model. The goal was to reflect its values of innovation and transversal collaboration while modernizing its spaces.

Challenge

Transitioning from a traditional model to an innovative and flexible environment required careful planning of space allocation, functionality, and alignment with SWIFT’s values. The project also included the full renovation of the Solvay and Adèle buildings under tight timelines and strategic coherence.

Solution

Out Of Office developed a concept that fully embodies SWIFT’s identity. The team worked on macro and micro layouts, advised on material and furniture selection, and created mood boards reflecting the company’s innovative spirit. In 2013, Out Of Office also won the design competition to redefine the main entrance hall, creating a strong and welcoming first impression.

Result

SWIFT now benefits from a modern and flexible headquarters that fosters innovation and collaboration. The redesigned spaces reflect the company’s values while addressing employees’ needs and enhancing SWIFT’s dynamic image in La Hulpe.
