The Malin Makes a Harmonious Entry in Music City
written by jesse dorris
After transforming the membership-based co-working landscape in Manhattan and Brooklyn, The Malin is heading west.
The newest space, a welcome entry in Nashville's burgeoning Wedgewood Houston neighborhood, takes over the second floor of the Nashville Warehouse Co., the first mass timber building in Music City. More than 16,000 square feet accommodates not only The Malin's signature mix of eclectic furnishings, from open tables and plush booths to dedicated desks and private offices, but also new media mainstays including a pair of libraries, a listening room and podcast studio, a screening room, and a trio of meeting rooms.
Custom-built woodwork makes each space feel one-of-a-kind, while the exposed ductwork tucked between the ceiling’s soaring wood beams nods to the area’s industrial roots. The end result evokes a high-end hotel rather than a traditional workspace. “This is by far our most brilliant workspace to date,” says Ciaran McGuigan, CEO of The Malin. “We’re in the hospitality business, so we carefully tailor each location of The Malin to fit the needs of the neighborhood and professional community. Not only are we providing the highest level of hospitality, but we’re doing it in a refined and beautiful space that contributes to a productive workflow.”
