The project consists of 4 temporary workshop rooms for the International Brussels airport, in the entrance hall of the control tower building that was completed in 2005. The core of the hall is surrounded by the cafeteria and the auditorium. JDWA has been asked to solve the emptiness between the existing elements: the orange sitting areas, trying to create a strong dialogue with them and the generous roof light. In order to respond to temporary needs, fast installation and disassembly, the pavilions are made of wood. The main concept is to play with the natural light. The light enters the pavilions through the glass roof and then gets filtered by the wooden structure. In this way it is possible to see everything around it enjoy the natural light. As a marketing strategy, the corporate identity has been taken into account and the house style colours have been incorporated into the design (expo-walls). The interior is designed to be a flexible room where employees can have the space to co-create, write on the glass and relax on the couch. On the back side of all but one pavilion, an informal meeting space is integrated. In the other one the space is dedicated to a pantry. Each pavilion is 18 m2 suitable for 10 people.
