Digital banking platform Nubank gets a new office location designed by the team at MM18 Architecture. Right in São Paulo, the office is modern and takes over what was once a warehouse, measuring an impressive 10,000 square meters and a triple-height ceiling that is 15 meters tall. One of the most notable features of the space is the horizontal.
The main floor along with the three custom mezzanines runs horizontally at a long structure. This way, it carefully sections up the necessary spaces for employees to work and unwind. When it ic completed, visitors and employees can access the 750 formal workspaces, plenty of meeting rooms, shared and private work areas, dining spaces, kitchens, lounges, and a health center.
