MIL Studios takes 2,850 square metres inside the Madnum tower and gives every level its own material, its own light and its own pulse. The result is an office that behaves more like a building of rooms you want to visit.
Most offices are designed once and then copied down the floors like a stack of identical trays. Jungle’s new Madrid headquarters refuses that logic from the lift lobby up. The company occupies four consecutive levels of the Madnum tower, a Lamela Arquitectos building, and MIL Studios has treated each level as its own small country with its own climate. The passports are all stamped by the same authority.
That authority is restraint. The studio describes the project as a coherent yet non-uniform system, which is a tidy way of saying the floors do not match and are not supposed to. What holds them together is a discipline of material and a clear point of view: fewer elements, chosen harder. The reference point is the sober, precise offices and creative studios of 1990s New York, where minimalism was a way of carrying yourself. You can feel that posture in the photographs before you read a word about it.
Executive management sits at the summit, and the design meets that seniority with intimacy instead of grandeur. Wood runs continuously across surfaces, wrapping the space in one uninterrupted skin. Lighting is placed with intent, pooling where it matters and letting the rest fall away. The forms are enveloping and soft at the edges.
The whole floor reads like a film set for a very calm, very powerful person. MIL Studios cites the magnetic, low-volume lifestyle of New York moguls from the nineties, and the room delivers that mood without a single loud gesture. Nobody in here needs to prove anything.
Reception and the flexible work areas live on the thirteenth, and this is where the tower gets its first real handshake. Brushed galvanized steel defines the space in bold, precise geometry. It is cool, technical and slightly industrial, the sort of surface that makes a visitor stand up straighter.
Then come the textiles, warm and tactile, set against all that metal. It is a smart pairing for a company whose world is digital. The steel says technology, the fabric says people, and the floor lets them share the same room without either one winning. Anyone who loves the tension between a cold finish and a soft one will want to spend a long time here.
Floor twelve borrows from nineties club culture and it shows. Colour gradients slide across surfaces, aluminium catches the light, carpet softens the ground, and the shapes turn sinuous and loose. Work, music and relaxation areas sit side by side with no fuss, so the day can slide from a focused hour to a proper break without anyone changing postcode.
This is the social engine of the project. It is the level you imagine hearing before you see, the one where a colleague drifts over and a five minute chat turns into the best idea of the week. The energy is experimental, yet the palette and materials keep it inside the family.
The eleventh floor goes the other way entirely. Oxidized steel brings a deep, weathered colour, and curves and fragmented spaces break the plan into pockets of privacy. It is a considered rebuttal to the classic open-plan office, offering a more flexible and varied way to work, with places to concentrate and places to disappear for an hour.
Rusted metal in a corporate setting is a confident move. It gives the floor age and depth on day one, the kind of patina most interiors spend decades chasing. Set against the polished steel two floors up, it shows how far a single material family can travel when the designer is in control.
Steel appears brushed, oxidized and paired with aluminium. Wood runs unbroken. Every surface answers to the same logic.
Look at the project as a whole and the real subject is material. MIL Studios talks about durable, honest finishes working alongside acoustic solutions, integrated technology and a layered lighting system tuned to each floor. Those quiet layers matter as much as the showpiece surfaces. An office full of people needs to sound good and light well, and here the technology tucks into the architecture rather than hanging off it.
Three states of steel across three floors, plus wood, aluminium, carpet and textile, make a compact palette that never feels repetitive. Restraint is the trick. Because the vocabulary is small, every change of accent lands with weight.
The studio frames the finished space as more than a place of production. In its words, the workspace is a cultural tool that builds community, experience and belonging. That is a large claim for a set of floors in a tower, yet the design backs it up. Different moods invite different behaviour, and different behaviour keeps a team moving between floors, between people and between ways of thinking.
For a company that lives at the meeting point of technology and creativity, it is a sharp brief to answer with atmosphere. A hot-desk grid could never do it. Four floors with four personalities can.
MIL Studios handled the full run of the job, from interior design and furniture, fixtures and equipment to procurement, project management and site supervision. That end-to-end control explains why the details hold together from the top of the tower to the bottom. Madrid has a new benchmark for how a headquarters can carry itself, and it does so with steel, wood and a great deal of composure.
