Spaces Milano

Designed by Laboratorio Permanente, Spaces Milano relies on combining the informal model of coworkings with the sensible aesthetic and rigorousness of the city.

The project of Spaces Milano explores innovative ways of using spaces through a precise and sensible analysis of the context. Spaces occupies about 4,000 sqm of a traditional second post war Milanese building. The strength of the project Spaces Milano relies on combining the informal model of coworkings with the sensible aesthetic and rigorousness of the city, of its buildings and its entrances. The project focuses on the potential of a flexible and innovative space and at the same time on the quality of the materials.

The custom-made American walnut furniture, the great Italian and Nordic design pieces, the soft, yet warm fabrics, perfectly fit an essential and rigorous environment made of concrete and ceppo stone surfaces. These materials are strongly linked to the rationalist tradition of Milan. The stone of the Milanese entrances is here reinterpreted and reconsidered to enhance the relationship with other materials and becomes a real architectural furniture.

At the ground floor a great attention was paid to the lighting design. Seen from outside, lights and lamps are perceived as iridescent architectures, flying carpets that light up the Milanese nights. Colors and materials define in a subtle way the character of each space: from the bright and playful colors of the areas near the entrance to the warm walnut wood of the cafeteria, from the soft palette of the working area and of the booths to the neutral colors of the quiet area. Thanks to a series of folding walls, the sequence of meeting rooms of the basement easily becomes a unique, continuous event space.
