The Hub Offices – Madrid

Stephen Searer — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 13:00:05 +0000

The Hub is an interesting combination of incubator, coworking space, and social entrepreneur hangout. The Hub is a global network, with spaces in a large portion of the world’s largest cities. This space, in Madrid, was created in the footprint of an old garage.

Here is a little bit about the project:

“We set out to create places that borrow from the best of a member’s club, an innovation agency, a serviced office and a think-tank to create a very different kind of innovation environment. Places with all the tools and trimmings needed to grow and develop new ventures. Places to access experience, knowledge, finance and markets. And above all, places for experience and encounter, full of diverse people doing amazing things. We call these places Hubs.”

Oracle – Madrid Office

Jose Ramirez — Fri, 03 Dec 2010 13:00:10 +0000

If there’s one thing that people know about Oracle, it’s that Larry Ellison is the co-founder and CEO, and that he is rich beyond imagination. It’s a pretty good thing for a company to be known for, really. If you’re the sixth richest person in the world, your company must be doing a lot of things right. And it is, especially in the area of database management systems.

Not surprisingly, even though it is based in Redwood Shores, CA, Oracle has offices all around the world. Today we’re looking at their office in Madrid, Spain. It really isn’t anything spectacular, but it does seem quite functional and comfortable. The bright colors add a nice whimsical touch, and they have some sort wacky chair that does I-don’t-know-what. The espresso machine is very nice, too. It looks expensive. I would be afraid to break it. And then Larry would yell at me. Larry didn’t get rich by replacing a bunch of espresso machines, you know.

Idealista Offices – Madrid

Stephen Searer — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 12:30:12 +0000

For those of our readers that pay attention to the Spanish housing market (probably most of you), you’ll be familiar with the company Idealista.com. Idealista is a portal that reports the latest housing market news for Spain. Their office is located in downtown Madrid, and from what you can see below, has some very appealing features.

As with most news-type offices, the Idealista offices have everyone housed in a bullpen style room, but organized into different teams. Each staff member has two monitors to increase efficiency. The space also contains a room in which people can gather to look at a single magazine page, located nicely at the front of the room. One of the features we don’t see too often is the drop-down cabling to each station of desks. Complete with a bright kitchen, the space is nicely maintained, giving it a very proper and professional atmosphere.

Selgas Cano Offices

Stephen Searer — Fri, 08 May 2009 13:30:00 +0000

The offices of Selgas Cano are by far the most innovate and creative thing I’ve seen in a while. Many times, modern/futurey offices don’t actually seem like places I’d want to work, but this one really has my attention. Perhaps it’s the nature that is right outside, juxtaposed with the sleek interior space that has me picturing myself as their newest employee.

Selgas Cano is a Spanish architecture firm based in Madrid. With the floors below the ground, looking out the window and daydreaming on company time must have an altogether new feeling. The window that opens at the end seems like a good idea, unless of course, you are the employee on the end and it is windy outside.
