MaSID (Madrid Science & Innovation District) relied on AXIS Arquitectura for the complete refurbishment of a multipurpose indoor space located in the office building Encuartes 19, Tres Cantos. MaSID, managed by the Stoneshield Investment SL group, is the first private science, technology and innovation district in Spain. Deeplabs, a manager of collaborative spaces equipped with state-of-the-art laboratories and specialized services, is the main user of this multi-purpose space, located in its Tres Cantos campus, which has more than 60,000 m2 spread over several buildings.

This new flexible space will be the venue for events, congresses and presentations, as it has been designed to be easily transformed into a large conference room/auditorium with capacity for more than 100 people, a collaborative work/co-working space or a hybrid between the two, depending on the required needs. It is an open space in which custom-made carpentry elements have been installed (stage, bleachers, coffee corner area, ticket booths) and a complete audiovisual and home automation system that will allow the room to be adapted depending on its use. For this reason, acoustics have been specially taken into account in the design phase of the project, proposing construction solutions and sound-absorbing materials, through which the sound is transmitted properly and without reverberation.

The furniture selected to complete the set is light and easily stackable, and can be stored in the adjoining rooms, built for this purpose.
