    Last year we wrote about <a href="http://www.mvrdv.nl/#/news/dijonmustardlabtransformation">MVRDV's</a> plans to convert a <a href="http://inhabitat.com/mvrdv-transforms-mustard-lab-into-innovative-flexible-workspace/">disused Dijon factory</a> into a flexible space for the <a href="http://www.teletech.com/contact">Teletech call center</a> in France. The project is now complete and it looks great! Severely restricted by budget, the Dutch design studio had to pull out the big creative guns to transform the 6,500 square meter building into a well-lit, comfortable space that would attract and keep the country's highest profile workers. Hit the jump to learn more about how they achieved just that.
