Jungle’s Madrid HQ by Mil Studios Channels the Cool Restraint of 90s New York.

What does 1990s New York have to do with a tech company’s headquarters in Madrid in 2026? Quite a lot, as it turns out — at least when Mil Studios is doing the thinking. The Madrid-based interior design practice, founded by Naroa Quirós and Juan Luis Medina, has completed Jungle’s new headquarters, and the result is one of the more considered — and straight-up cool — office interiors to land on our radar in a while.

The conceptual starting point is sharp and specific: the corporate offices and creative studios of 90s New York, where structure and culture existed in productive tension. Control and expression. Minimalism and character. It’s a reference that could easily tip into nostalgia, but Mil Studios handles it with exactness, translating that particular flavour of restrained, understated cool into something entirely contemporary.

Palm Court Energy Meets East London Grit at Conductor, 3,400 sqm Flexible Hospitality-Inspired Workspace.

A workplace that makes you forget it's a workplace—that was the brief, more or less, at Conductor in Stratford, East London.

Spanning 2,850 sqm across four floors of the Madnum tower, the project operates on a clear guiding principle: fewer elements, more intention. A monochromatic palette reinforces coherence across the whole, while each floor functions as its own distinct spatial manifesto — same system, different identity.

Floor 11 sets the tone with oxidised steel and curved geometries that deliberately fragment space, creating pockets of privacy and focus that push back against the tyranny of the open plan. Floor 12 shifts register entirely, referencing 90s club culture through colour gradients, aluminium surfaces, and music rooms with sinuous forms — a floor where work and social life are allowed to bleed into each other with controlled energy.

Floor 13, the reception and flexible work level, is where the decade’s early digital awakening gets its spatial moment. Brushed galvanised steel volumes organise the floor with an almost mathematical rigidity — the press release even cheekily references binary code (01001001) — while a reception area developed by yyplusplus reframes arrival as a discovery experience, bridging physical and digital worlds. Artworks sourced through Galería Alzueta and Galería Belmonte punctuate the steel-and-textile environment with welcome warmth.

Ceramic Tiles, Izakaya Bars & Onsen Energy: Valencia Workspace Transformed Through the Lens of Tokyo.

At 21 Sornells Street in Valencia's Ruzafa neighbourhood, Paloma Bau and T.O.T Studio have transformed a former commercial unit into a 170sqm shared workspace.

Then there’s Floor 14 — the executive level — which is where the 90s magnate lifestyle reference really comes into its own. Continuous wood surfaces, noble materials, lighting designed to build anticipation and intrigue. It’s seductive in the best possible way: an office that also doesn’t feel like one.

Lighting is developed in three layers throughout — technical, ambient, and bespoke — calibrated to each floor’s identity. Acoustic comfort is woven in through textiles and sound-absorbing systems. And with an initial capacity for 230 people and room to scale to 400, the project is conceived as a modular system that can grow without losing its integrity.

Mil Studios has delivered something rare: a large-scale workplace that has a point of view.

This Five-storey Office Features a Suspended Conference Capsule, Prototype Workshop and Raised R&D Lab.

This office makes a statement from the start—a suspended conference capsule hovers above the lobby, sending a clear message that ideas happen through dialogue and exchange.
