During the design phase, OpenBox implemented its resources during summer 2018, to meet ACTION’s consultation schedule.
OpenBox then adapted the client’s specifications to the French context (regulations and technical solutions).
The Co Design&Build developed by OpenBox was the best method of harmonising our two French and Dutch approaches and understanding our client.
Today, our teams are delighted to work hand in hand on site.
