JUUNOO modular workspaces

What is the JUUNOO Project?

JUUNOO Projects bring a fresh twist to commercial real estate interiors, focusing on modular, privacy-focused workspaces that are as innovative as they are practical. Take, for example, their standout project in Brooklyn, New York — The Refinery at Domino. In collaboration with Framework coworking and Two Trees Management, JUUNOO crafted 46 modular privacy pods arranged in clusters of four, all boasting stunning views of the East River and Manhattan skyline. This wasn’t just any renovation; it was a historic one, completed in record time, blending style, function, and privacy seamlessly.

Main Benefits of JUUNOO’s Approach

JUUNOO’s solutions offer more than just cool design — they bring serious advantages to the table:

  • Modular design allows products to be reused over 30 times, making sustainability a core feature.
  • Flexible office solutions include circular interior walls, acoustic glass fronts, and privacy pods tailored for commercial real estate.
  • Patented installation system that’s 7 times faster than traditional methods, speeding up project timelines.
  • Business model based on circular economy principles, offering both leasing and buy-back options.
  • 3.5x year-over-year growth, with big-name clients like Deloitte, Two Trees, and Industrious on board.
  • Projects span tens of thousands of square feet across Europe and North America, proving scalability.

Innovative Circular Economy Model

What really sets JUUNOO apart? It’s their circular economy business model. Instead of the usual buy-and-forget approach, JUUNOO’s modular products can be leased or purchased, then reconfigured or sold back when no longer needed. This means less waste, more flexibility, and a smarter way to manage office spaces. The hassle of traditional fit-outs? Pretty much gone. And because the products are designed to be reused multiple times, it’s a win for both the environment and the bottom line.

Flexible Office Solutions for Modern Workspaces

JUUNOO’s offerings are perfectly tailored for today’s dynamic work environments. Whether it’s modular walls that can be shifted around, acoustic glass fronts that keep noise in check, or privacy pods that create quiet zones in open offices, their products adapt to the needs of modern businesses. This flexibility means companies can easily reconfigure spaces as teams grow or shrink, or as work styles evolve — without the usual disruption or cost.

Speed and Efficiency in Installation

Time is money, especially in commercial real estate. JUUNOO’s patented system installs up to seven times faster than traditional methods, dramatically cutting down project timelines. This rapid installation doesn’t just save money; it also minimizes downtime for businesses, allowing them to get back to work sooner. It’s this kind of efficiency that makes JUUNOO’s solutions so attractive to clients aiming for quick, hassle-free buildouts.

Project Impact on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

  • SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure — through innovative modular design and fast installation.
  • SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities — by promoting flexible, reusable office environments.
  • SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production — via circular economy principles and product reuse.
  • SDG 13: Climate Action — reducing waste and resource consumption with sustainable materials and leasing models.

What JUUNOO actually does

JUUNOO, founded in Belgium by Chris Van de Voorde, builds modular commercial interiors, walls, partitions and phone booths, designed around a circular, leasing-and-buyback model rather than single-use office fit-outs. Materials are designed to be reused across an average seven-year cycle instead of demolished and replaced.

“I loved the acoustic quality, and the size was more than ample.”

Jamie Hodari, CEO, Industrious

Where the model shows up

  • Modular interiors: partition walls and acoustic phone booths installed rather than built and demolished
  • Leasing and buyback: a three-phase model culminating in reselling materials to future clients instead of discarding them
  • Commercial real estate and coworking: deployed across offices, coworking spaces and institutional buildings

Why this belongs on a sustainability directory

JUUNOO’s leasing-and-buyback model keeps interior fit-out materials in circulation across roughly seven-year reuse cycles instead of ending up as construction waste, a direct case of SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production). Because the same modular components can be reconfigured and redeployed across different commercial buildings, the model also supports SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) by reducing the material footprint of urban office space over time.
