From the outside the building looked rather ordinary. The address printed on my instruction sheet offered me a big surprise. A magnificent office in Antwerp. Keywords: tightness, expensive materials, large dark glass surfaces, black leather. Introduced by Vincent Van Duysen architects, with much sense of perfection. This is a large office, a company that listens to the name Capco. Meanwhile the company has offices throughout the world, but this place in Antwerp can be considered as trendsetting.
Within this tight structure you can feel concentration, enthusiasm, ambition. The whole concept is demonstrating luxurious simplicity. By Vincent Van Duysen Architects. Somewhere on a second floor. In Antwerp.

Van buitenaf zag het gebouw er eerder gewoon uit. Een kantooromgeving uit een dozijn. Het adres op mijn uitgeprinte instructieblad zou echter een verborgen kantoorparel in Antwerpen blijken. Met veel strak uitlijnwerk, dure materialen, grote donkere glaspartijen. Zwart leer is er ook. In een niet zo ver verleden nog taboe voor interieurontwerpers, nu steeds meer ingeburgerd. En hier met veel flegma geïntroduceerd door Vincent Van Duysen, met veel zin voor perfectie. Het gaat hier om een grote kantoorruimte, van een bedrijf dat luistert naar de naam Capco. Ondertussen heeft dit bedrijf vestigingen over de ganse wereld, maar deze plek in Antwerpen heeft beslist een
trend gezet. Binnen deze strakke structuren voel je concentratie, gedrevenheid, ambitie. Het hele concept straalt luxueuze eenvoud uit. Door Vincent Van Duysen architects. Ergens op een verdieping. In Antwerpen.
