#WeWork Flagship in Shanghai China 🇨🇳 I just love this space, there is so much richness in it. The PINK corridor that takes you in... fantastic! “The hustler never stops”. Shanghai studio #Linehouse has transformed a former #opium factory with green-painted metalwork and pastel-coloured terrazzo to create the Chinese flagship for co-working company WeWork.more Located in Shanghai's Jing'An district, the 5,500 square-metre WeWork Weihai hosts more than 1,300 members of WeWork, a co-working company that offers rented desk spaces at relatively low cost, with shared amenities for workers. Local studio Linehouse overhauled the derelict 20th-century building to create a grand, hotel-like space that references its history as a store for opium, and then as an artist's residence. "WeWork #WeihaiLu is nestled in a turn of the century brick building; a former opium factory and artist residence. This building is surrounded by an old residential district in the heart of Shanghai," said the studio. "Linehouse celebrated the grandeur of the building, encapsulating the feeling of a grand hotel, transporting guests and members on an unexpected journey of whimsy, voyeurism and festivity." Weihai Lu forms part of WeWork's expansion into China, which it is undertaking in partnership with Sino-Ocean Group. The company, which also recently unveiled its first co-living apartments in New York, has three spaces in Shanghai, with a fourth in the pipeline and another two set for completion in Beijing. WeWork's spaces form part of the growing trend for co-working – flexible and communal workspaces – opening around the globe to cater to an increasingly self-employed workforce. ||| #AngelicaBehm #ConectandoEstiloDeVida (at WeWork威海路)
