I have to make a trip to Brooklyn, obviously, on my endless research into the new workplace:
Dan Howarth, Macro Sea turns Brooklyn warehouse into New Lab co-working space
New York developer Macro Sea has turned a warehouse at Brooklyn’s Navy Yard into a workspace for tech entrepreneurs, using the building’s “cathedral-like” steel trusswork to inform new elements (+ slideshow).
New Lab is located in Building 128 of the Brooklyn Navy Yard – a former shipbuilding complex between the Dumbo and Williamsburg neighbourhoods that is undergoing extensive regeneration.

“In designing New Lab, we rejected industrial fetishism, iPhone-isation, and tech 4.0,” said Macro Sea design director Nicko Elliott.
I don’t know, this looks a lot like industrial fetishism to me. And I like it.
