Media co-working space

Designed for HT Media Ltd., one of India's premier media organisations, this project reimagines the traditional office as a collaboration-cum-coworking hub built entirely around Activity-Based Working (ABW). Rather than assigning fixed desks to fixed tasks, the design offers a spectrum of settings — focused workstation bays, high-table zones for quick huddles, soft lounge seating for informal conversations, enclosed meeting rooms, and a café counter that doubles as a social anchor — allowing teams to choose the setting that matches the task at hand.

Buenaventura Offices

We had been working with Buenaventura mining company since 2021, which had generated trust and allowed a smooth collaboration in their transition towards new ways of working, valuing their activities and optimizing spaces. This allowed them to move to a hybrid format, reducing their offices from five to two floors in Torre Begonias.

M25 tech hub

M25 is a tech hub that houses a coworking for startups, a coding school, and event spaces. It thus hosts an entire ecosystem in which professionals from the sector find space to develop, share knowledge and ideas, and create a like-minded community. With this clear concept in mind, the creators of M25 decided to contact 2BOLD to help them make it a reality. One of their premises was particularly relevant: they wanted the keystone of the project to be the community. The most important thing was for everyone to feel welcome, 'as if they were in their own living room'. Another key factor was to create a friendly, calm environment in which ideas could flow. In which the stimuli were always focused on reinforcing the user's wellbeing and calm.... More
