What is co-working and how it is

Five years ago in the Ukrainian capital worked from five to seven creative spaces. Now there are almost a hundred of them. During the last six months open-spaces open weekly, hitting with creative ideas on the organization of the working process.

Co-working, anti-cafe or open-space

The first open-spaces, co-working, anti-cafe appeared only seven years ago in one of the most iconic and influential countries, people of which know a lot about labor management, in Germany. This country became the undisputed leader in Europe for such centers.

There is a concept about state of flux, the state maximum efficiency and performance. In this state, you certainly get a brilliant project. And for this you need at least one stimulating factor – the atmosphere.

The idea is to get people to work together, providing them all necessary for work, including the chance for a new professional partnership. The obvious advantage in renting a workplace at open-space for small businesses is that rent several work-places is more profitable than to maintain a full office. In addition, the creative spaces are completely different atmosphere than the usual box-offices. You can choose the space, as well as possible to meet your goals and needs: if you are a designer, IT-Specialist, a yoga trainer or the auditor. If you need a team or just a comfortable place for the arrangement of yours, you can choose. If you like the home comfort or business atmosphere, you can choose.

ЦЕХ Space

This is 350 sq. meters of mental space that can take 70 people at the same time. And it’s important to receive guests twenty-four hours a day seven days a week.

Style – loft: includes minimum walls and doors, maximum fresh air. Workshop is divided into several zones. But you won’t notice zoning because of interior integrity. Glass doors are nominal, but they do not affect on the basic concept of open-space, they protecting from unnecessary sounds, but leave the possibility in participation in the outer life.

Furniture is very simple and functional; predominantly cool colors, large windows, and the conciseness decor prevail. WORKSHOP is young space, but with its own history, which has developed in partnership with foreign companies. You can use the card of workshop in the UK, the United Arab Emirates. The card gives not only the right to visit the space at any time, but also provides the necessary acquaintances and partnership.

Philosophy of the place

WORKSHOP is ideal choice for people who working passionately and energetically: from fitness training to logistics audit. They have the opportunity to work together, help each other, plunging into the atmosphere of success and fulfillment. Ideas born here and each idea need three classical unities: action, place and time. So certainly dramatic is there.
