Copenhagen-based research and design lab SPACE10 takes cues from community-centric design for its headquarters. The space was recently redesigned and upgraded in collaboration with architecture practice Spacon & X. The project mainly focused on the main floor of the three-story building and channeled the sensibilities of community-centric design to strengthen creative impulses, desire for collaboration, and connection to visitors—all key for research and design labs.

Spacon & X and SPACE10 drew inspiration from newsstands for the lab's public library which includes "100 books, magazines, and titles for kids" hand-picked by the SPACE10 team. The floor also includes "a kiosk where visitors can check out and purchase local drinks and snacks." These functionalities are supported by a bright and colorful aesthetic.
