Belga Case Study

Belga News Agency - from Belgium. The task was to create the presence of Belga in Second Life in the most natural way and in the most appropriate scale. On the contrary to Reuters presence, Belga aimed for natural looks and functions. We decided to recreate the "feeling" of their real life headquarters, which are located in an industrial, red-brick building. The layout of the building has been adopted for Second Life (remodelled, rescaled), but we kept the general looks of it. We also added a bit of surrounding structures, eg. swimming pool, basketball, benches, to create a less formal, recreational area around.

The inside of the building is minimalistically furnished and "sculptured" with light. It contains bar and lounge area, welcome area for news suppliers, offices, board room, presentation areas and maintenance area.


Investor: Belga
