Inside the Heden Trindade Coworking Space: A Thoughtful Blend of History and Innovation

A Multi-Level Design for Modern Stacked Collaboration

SpaceWorks has crafted a truly unique 600 m² coworking space at Heden Coworking’s Trindade, where modern design meets historic preservation. Located on Rua Nova da Trindade, in the heart of Lisbon’s picturesque Chiado district, this project shows how a historic building can be reimagined to meet the demands of today’s cutting-edge companies. Specifically designed to house Daimler’s self-driving bus and truck division, tb.lx, since early 2024, the space beautifully combines the old and the new. The layout of Heden Trindade spans multiple floors, each designed with a specific function in mind, ensuring that the space promotes both creativity and collaboration.

Ground Floor - The ground floor sets the tone with a large, flexible Events and Social Hub complete with a fully equipped kitchen. This open-plan area serves as a social hub for networking, team gatherings, and corporate events.

First Floor - The first floor hosts a Communal Office space designed for flexibility and collaboration. With ample natural light and agile workspace layouts, this floor is the main workspace, fostering connectivity among the tb.lx team.

Second Floor - Upstairs, the second floor features the Kitchen, Terrace, and Collaboration Rooms. A generous open plan kitchen and adjacent patio terrace offering a perfect mix of relaxation and informal workspaces. Additionally, several collaboration rooms provide quiet, enclosed spaces for focused team projects.

Third Floor - The third floor is dedicated to Meeting and Project Rooms - formal meeting rooms and project spaces, fully equipped with modern conferencing technologies, perfect for strategic discussions and high-level planning.

Fourth Floor - At the top, the attic space has been transformed into a creative Workshop Space. With its skylights and a no-frills hands-on atmosphere, this space is ideal for brainstorming, prototyping, and other technical work central to tb.lx's innovative projects.
