Umicore
Architect: Conix Architects
Company Umicore is a materials technology group. Its overriding goal of sustainable value creation is based upon its ambition to develop, produce and recycle materials for a better life.
Briefing The company´s business technology was integrated into the architectural and design concept. The space layout shows a very technical appearance, with glass being one of the favoured materials. The dominating colour scheme of black, grey and white is periodically enhanced by the use of colourful objects such as green, yellow or red stools. The transparency given by Bene’s double glazed partitioning (49dB) fits perfectly within the new building and became the predominant feature encapsulating the company's new corporate identity.
»Thanks to its flush glazed design, Bene RF allows for continuity of style and a consistent look throughout, from the building shell to the office design. Beyond that, the office wall system meets all technical requirements.«
