When we started Fosbury & Sons, we set out to create a new kind of workplace, one that values the humanity of the people within its walls. But more than that, we wanted to create a space that no longer catered to an outdated view on work. We’ve grown dissatisfied with the status quo of what work has been and for so many continues to be. Work can be more than a monthly paycheque, than the food it brings to our table, than the sponsor of our basic needs and our escapism. With Fosbury & Sons—an office for the employee, for the individual, for the start-up, for the entrepreneur, and for the company both large and small—we want to create a renaissance of work. A place to collaborate, to celebrate, and to learn from one another; a place where you can come together, and a place to be apart. We are as much a product of our culture as we are the shapers of it and we want to build upon the culture that bred the office of the twentieth century, to see its flaws, and do better. To redefine a place of work into a place of purpose, into a place where a labour of love can be born. We’ve made a home for ourselves in a modernistic cathedral by Léon Stynen. A building we’ve transformed and continue to transform into a true creative hub in the city of Antwerp. The building, formerly known as the Electrabel-tower, is now host to all different kind of companies, all Thinking Apart, Working Together. Or as we like to call it, the WATT-building.
