NOMAD WORKSPACE BY SPATIAL CODE

How do you turn an old and stuffy courthouse into a

warm and homely workstation that gets one’s creative

juices flowing? This was the biggest question mark for

Spatial Code’s Natalia Sanchez when founders Oliver

Bernhard and Peter Madsen courted her to turn the 2,000

sqm building into Nomad Workspace. Deciding to pay

tribute to the historic establishment originally designed

by celebrated Danish architect Thorvald Bindesbøll in

1863, Sanchez used colour to express its identity and at

the same time to create a warm and welcoming ambience

for potential lessees.

“An ideal working environment to me is a place that

accommodates the needs of different kinds of employees.

Modern work culture is not about the number of hours you

spend in the office. It’s about the quality in the hours you put

in. I always say that the more well-rested the employees are,

the more prosperous the business gets, and this could mean

having high tables, sofas, lounges, contemplating rooms, and

so on. And when it comes to the furnishings, it was important

for me to do site-specific designs in order to give the space its

own character,” says Sanchez.

The practicality of Nomad Workspace is demonstrated by the

dedicated segments lined across the property. There’s the

work lounge, café, event space, private and open office spaces,

common or community areas and more. For Sanchez, she would

start her day by replying emails and the café is just the place to

do that. For meetings, briefing and brainstorming sessions, she

heads to one of the fully equipped and serviced meeting rooms

and if she ever needs to sift through long reports or such, she

would opt for the couch in the quiet room.
