URBAN STATION_The office of the future






“Dear Michael
Just found an article about this really interesting cafe in Buenos Aires. Go check it out and let me know if it is any good. 

Its called URBAN STATION. Location: El Salvador 4588 Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1414.
Thanks Jack”


“Dear Jack
Really really smart idea.... The office of the future perhaps? I can see lots of these being part of all major cities. 

In New York 3/4 of people in Starbucks were only there for the free WiFi just sitting on their laptops, this place is much more professional and very quiet, so no doubt you could actually get work done... 
Was expecting it really just to be like any other cafe but it was more like an open office, everyone was there to work. 
Really nicely fitted out interior too, but most stores and cafes in this part of Buenos Aires have quite interesting interior design.

[One trendy clothes store was set up in an old bar, but instead of refitting everything, they left all the bottles and bar setup and just improvised the store around it]...

Also there are 2 conference rooms upstairs but I couldn't take pics of the main one as people were having a meeting in there. 

 Talk later.
Michael”
