To realize the initial goal of building a stronger community relation within this limited working space, the owner divides the office space into 3 separated working areas and a public leisure space and subleases them to a group of young entrepreneurs.
The owner meets and gets together with entrepreneurs here, sharing the space, office services and startup ideas, and, together, they form a dynamic and passionate community of entrepreneurs.
