Selgas Cano architect[r]ural office

The innovative workspace of Selgas Cano Architecture in Madrid-Spain, serves as an inspiration for all who work there. Half of the office space is underground and the other half has a glass ceiling, bringing nature closer to the employees. No matter if you´re inside or outside the view is fantastic. Criticism of course, lies on the facts that it resembles a test-tube, where no apparent ventilation can be seen, or privacy (for work purposes) can be achieved. On the other hand who’s to say that working in a congested cubical, in an office building with artificial light and ventilation is actually better, or productivity enhancing ?

The unusual office building was designed by the architects themselves and build in the beautiful forest area nearby Madrid. The tunnel-shaped office with curved windows is a perfect example of uniting interior and exterior space. The interior opens to the surrounding nature, but stays pleasantly enveloping and cozy, with suspended desks and airy shelving along the far wall. View more photos here.
