JUNGLE
WorkplaceFrom 90s New York to today’s Madrid.
Jungle’s new offices in Madrid are the result of research into 1990s New York—corporate offices and creative studios where structure and culture, control and expression coexisted. These were sober, precise, and restrained spaces, where minimalism was not an aesthetic, but an attitude. We bring that imagery into the present to design an office that moves away from the generic workplace and builds its own identity.
A space where technology and creativity coexist naturally, and where every material, spatial, and lighting decision responds to a clear idea: work is also an experience. With 2,850 m² spread across four floors within the Madnum tower (Lamela Arquitectos), we conceived the project as a coherent yet non-uniform system. Each floor develops a distinct character through its own tectonics, materiality, and atmosphere, while always maintaining a common vision. Minimalism as a foundation: fewer elements, greater intent.
The 14th floor, dedicated to executive management, explores a more intimate and sophisticated atmosphere. Continuous wooden surfaces, strategic lighting, and enveloping forms create an almost cinematic experience, inspired by the quiet and magnetic lifestyle of 90s New York moguls.
On the 13th floor, the reception and flexible work areas are defined through brushed galvanized steel and precise, bold geometry. A high-tech inspired environment where technological materials coexist with warm textiles, connecting the digital universe with a closer, more human physical experience.
Floor 12 draws inspiration from 90s club culture to create a more vibrant and experimental space. Color gradients, aluminum, carpeting, and sinuous shapes create a more social and energetic atmosphere, where work, music, and relaxation areas seamlessly coexist. Floor 11 offers a quieter and more contained approach. Oxidized steel, curves, and fragmented spaces generate privacy and concentration, moving away from the classic office ‘open-plan’ to create a more flexible and diverse experience.
Materiality is the core of the project. Durable and honest materials coexist with acoustic solutions, integrated technology, and a layered lighting system designed to reinforce the identity of each floor. Everything adheres to a single logic: coherence, control, and personality.
A contemporary workspace that understands the office not just as a place of production, but as a cultural tool capable of fostering community, experience, and belonging.
