Not just for work: Babelstudio’s co-working space
In designing Oslo Cowork, the Spanish architects Babelstudio of Bilbao have created an office that enables co-working and activities in a very small space. A compact timber mezzanine takes advantage of the room’s height to perfect effect. Simplicity of design and attention to detail round off the minimalist interior in befitting manner.
