尽管安特卫普其富有创造性的城市环境而闻名，但与其他许多城市一样，自由职业者和在家办公的人数也大幅增加 - 比10年前增长53％。 然而，人类需要进行正常的社交，并且希望逃离传统的办公空间得到满足。 现在开创性的新空间照顾到了这一点。

在所谓的WATT塔楼（以前是LéonStynen于1958年设计的电力公司办公楼），一个名为Fosbury＆Sons的共享办公概念被全面应用于首层楼层内，一个3000平方米的空间，设计人在这里推演着诸如WeWork和SOHO办公等国际项目背后暗含的理念。事务所的合伙人，对外宣称到，“我们的目标是打破公司与员工之间的壁垒”。

In the so-called WATT-tower (formerly an electricity company’s office building designed in 1958 by Léon Stynen), a co-working concept dubbed Fosbury & Sons now takes up the first floor, a 3,000 square metre space that extrapolates the idea behind similar international projects such as WeWork and Soho Works. As the founders, Stijn Geeraets and Maarten Van Gool claim, “We aim to break down the walls between companies and people”.

距离中央火车站仅一步之遥，Fosbury＆Sons注定成为安特卫普数字化工作者和自由职业者来此工作的磁石，欢迎有会议需求的公司，更加欢迎各领域的自由职业人

Located a stone’s throw away from the city’s magnificent Central Station, Fosbury & Sons is not only bound to become a magnet for Antwerp’s digital nomads and freelancers in need of a homely office away from home, but has also been conceived to welcome companies looking for meeting rooms as well as any freelance professional looking to work in a stimulating environment that is multi-faceted and conducive to networking.

“1968年，迪克·佛斯伯利用背部擦着越杆跳跃的方式彻底改变了跳高模式，并赢得了奥运会冠军，”Geeraets和Van Gool解释了项目名称中“fosbury”的由来。而我们就像福斯贝里一样，想要探索出新的酒吧模式的工作空间，与去办公室上班一样传统。我们想要传达积极而快乐的工作态度。”另一个词“sons”则是指所有坚持这种工作风格的专业人士。

“In 1968, Dick Fosbury revolutionized high jumping by leaping with his back towards his stick – and winning the Olympics”, Geeraets and Van Gool explain with regards to the project’s name. “Now that is exactly how everyone does it. Like Fosbury, we want to set a new bar for something as conventional as going to the office. We want to demonstrate that working can be a positive and pleasant force in life.” The Sons, in the second part of the project’s sobriquet, thus refers to all professionals adhering to this style of working.

由安特卫普设计工作室Going East设计的空间内部设有轻松的休息区和配备Sennheiser耳机的大型工作桌，如果你想拥有封闭的工作空间，这里十分合适。 沙发由比利时品牌Journuit提供 。墙上的艺术作品由安特卫普的Sofie Van De Velde和PLUS ONE画廊以及布鲁塞尔画廊Veerle Verbaekel共同策划。

The space’s interior, designed by the Antwerp design studio Going East, is filled with relaxed seating areas and large working tables equipped with Sennheiser headphones, should you want to shield yourself off and knuckle down. Sofas are by Journuit, a new Belgian brand, as well as vintage. The rotating art selection on the walls is curated by Sofie Van De Velde and PLUS ONE gallery, both based in Antwerp, and the Brussels gallery Veerle Verbaekel.

对于Going East的创始人Anais Torfs和Michiel Mertens来说，工作和生活都充满了不确定性。 “我们总是想象在一个空间内移动会是什么样子，”Torfs沉思。 “有多种方式可以走向办公桌或工作区域，能够看到不同的事物并与不同的人见面。”

For Anais Torfs and Michiel Mertens, the founders of Going East, it’s all about the variety, in work and in life. “We always imagine what it would be like to move around inside a space”, muses Torfs. ”There are various ways to walk toward any desk or working area, enabling you to see different things and meet different people.”

他们还坚持使用新型建筑材料，例如由100％可回收材料制成的酒吧。 mertens曾说过：“maarten和stijn非常乐于尝试新鲜事物。 你可以称之为创造自由，但实际上更多的是一种信任。“

They were also adamant about using innovative resources, such as the bar made of100% recycled materials. Mertens notes: “Maarten and Stijn were very open to experimenting. You could call that creative freedom, but it’s actually more about trust.”

书籍由当地出版社Lustre提供，内容涉及文化，设计，摄影和食品等。还提供的洗衣服务，健身课程和淋浴等，为这个全天候开放的概念办公空间提供完善的服务，并为各类会员提供各种解决方案。

A library provides books from local publishing house Luster, who specialize in culture, design, photography and food books.  healthy food options from Antwerp-based Coffeelabs, a laundry service, gym sessions and showers complete the exhaustive service of this concept, which is open 24/7, with various formulas for various types of memberships.
