In a big hall of 4000 sqm, belgian designers Five AM placed 13 second hand shipping containers to create an office space for Drukta & Formail, two printing companies. The concept was to create a certain experience for every visitor/user, linking the offices between the workshop so the bosses can see their employees, and the visitors can explore the huge machinery. Three containers pop out of the building to get as much natural light as possible, both located through the existing loading docks.

Design atelier Five AM was established in 2011 by interior architects Mathieu Bellens and Olivier Caluwier. Creating interiors and exhibition spaces for semi-public organisations and private companies, the Five AM portfolio also extends to product design. The studio’s aim is to generate a moment of astonishment in the process of realising an inspiring result. With simplicity as a starting point, each design needs to interact with the user and build up naturally until the story is complete.
