Creative agency Masquespacio and Dutch-based collective The Student Hotel collaborate on a project, concerning a hybrid establishment that combines working with living. The Student Hotel Barcelona decided to "launch two student-only 'campuses' in the Marina and Poble Sec [neighborhoods]." The Valencia-based agency was invited on board to design the contemporary spaces. The creative studio incorporates a modern design approach that boasts an open-concept layout. Masquespacio made excellent use of color when constructing the interior design of the communal areas, the quiet study rooms, gaming zones, swimming pools and more.
The Student Hotel institution and Masquespacio's boldly eccentric input, make the co-working and co-living spaces not only a productive space for students, but also foster a fun, engaging and social environment for over-stressed individuals.
