OVAL
Antwerp
From a completely stripped building to a creative hotspot: Group Jansen delivered the brand-new office for OVAL, the renowned communication agency, in the heart of Antwerp. The result? A vibrant work and meeting place that inspires, connects, and challenges.
Challenge
Commissioned by OVAL and in collaboration with design studio Going East, Group Jansen took on the complete renovation of the office on Mechelsesteenweg. The existing building was completely stripped and rebuilt, with attention to detail, experience, and of course design. The result: a contemporary environment where employees, clients, and partners come together in an atmosphere that breathes creativity.

Result
Not a classic office space
OVAL’s office spans 550 m² and offers space for open workspaces, inspiring meeting rooms, an inviting kitchen, lockers, and custom-made furniture. Thanks to our walls from Jansen Wall Solutions we guarantee not only aesthetics but also acoustic comfort in every space.
Complete Fit-out by an Experienced Team
As the main contractor, Group Jansen coordinated the entire renovation, from site setup and demolition to roofing, interior finishing, techniques, custom work, and painting. Our builders were responsible for the implementation of HVAC, plumbing, fire-resistant doors, and all techniques, always in close collaboration with OVAL and architect Going East.
Design & build
“Despite a challenging timeline, quality remained central at every moment. There was a conscious choice for raw materials such as stainless steel, plywood, and steel to enhance the characteristic architecture of the 1960s building,” said Josy Vandewal, project manager at Group Jansen. “The architect’s design was truly out of the box: no standard finishes or furniture, but unique tailor-made solutions. For example, we built the entire stage ourselves. The design & build aspect was central to this project. Together with the architect, we fine-tuned many concepts on-site until they were just right.”
Not Classic Office Spaces, but an Inspiring Place
“With OVAL, we are creating a new concept, instead of classic office spaces. From the first conversation, we immediately noticed the strong drive at Group Jansen to help realize this unique project. I would certainly recommend Group Jansen to other companies, thanks to their personal and transparent approach. They are truly close to the people on the work floor.”
