Louvain-la-Neuve, the start-up ecosystem of Walloon Brabant
The Louvain-la-Neuve Science Park, with its Einstein, Athena, Fleming and Monnet sectors, boasts a concentration of innovative companies rarely seen in Wallonia. Many have emerged from university research, whilst others are rapidly scaling up. They all face the same challenge: their workforce can double within a year, and their premises must keep pace.
The town’s lively and compact pedestrianised centre is also home to service offices and smaller organisations. This young, connected and mobile environment shapes specific expectations regarding workspaces: fewer fixed desks, more flexible and collaborative areas.
Planning for growth and flexibility
A start-up does not set up its workspace in the same way as an established company. The furniture must be able to be reconfigured as the team grows, and the spaces must accommodate both focused work and group activities. We therefore favour modular solutions: reconfigurable desks, shared tables, lightweight furniture and movable meeting cubicles.
Acoustics are a critical consideration in these open, dynamic environments. Between video calls, team discussions and the concentration required for development, sound needs to be managed without stifling the energy of the space. Enclosed booths, sound-absorbing panels and dedicated zones help to strike a balance between the two.
Space as an employer branding tool
For a scale-up in Louvain-la-Neuve that is recruiting for hard-to-find roles, the office becomes a selling point. A light-filled space, a green wall, well-designed informal areas, and furniture with character: all these factors carry weight when a candidate is comparing two job offers. We incorporate this aspect into our projects, because a successful office design does more than simply accommodate current teams; it helps to attract future ones.
