A SPARK OF INSPIRATION

Live freely, work flexibily, explore endlessly

Creating Spaces Designed For Remote Professionals Of Any Kind.

We believe in the power of place to transform lives. By bringing together historic charm with modern innovation, we are shaping the future of work and living. We do this by creating inspiring spaces that foster connection and create lasting memories.

Our mission is to design a work environment that caters specifically to the remote working lifestyle, whether you are self-employed or a team of professionals looking for a different location to work together.

We understand the importance of comfortable ergonomics, extra monitors, strong and reliable Wi-Fi, and a space that fosters both productivity and a sense of community. Both in the comfort of your fully equiped private apartment or in a shared setting in our coworking space.

More than just a co-working space, imagine doing this with the flexibility on your own terms, and in a place that fully blends with the outside culture. Where its elements are not just for decorative purposes but also actively part of the sensory experience.

This is our story, and this is our passion. Join us as we build a network of spaces designed to empower the remote workers community.
