To the south of Gent, the incubator of the VIB is located right next to the highway, thus very visible even from afar.

In order to make use of this advantage, the volume is kept compact but tall and the facades are brightly clad, thus increasing the recognition value of the building.

In the spirit of this innovative business park, our proposal would achieve a BREEAM excellent score, while also creating a bright and collaborative work environment.

The sloping landscape is continued within as a succession of duplex garden rooms, which wrap around the building like a helix of sunlit voids. These shared spaces promote interaction thus rendering VIB an inspiring place for innovation.
