This really is a beautiful coworking space. Very spacious with its open loft feel and a very Hamburg feel about it as you enter the courtyard of hanseatic colored bricks that form this building. There are trees that provide shade over the brightly lit sunroof that makes one feel as if they are inside but working outside in nature.
Often the trouble with working in office building is that they never have enough light or relaxing views, you feel claustrophobic staring at walls all day. Not here, the architecture and decor is very inviting, yet professional. The cafe serves food and drinks and if you host an event here, they offer/provide catering which I can commend is suitable and even healthy if requested!
Not too long ago we hosted an event here called Startup Live by the amazing team at Start Europe, in which I am an Ambassador from Germany, helping to support the most unbelievable event of its kind, the Pioneers Festival in Vienna 2012!

In short, I loved this space and all it has to offer, though I did not inquire about the prices and facilities included with the cost because it is simply a bit too far away for me. I live in Harvesthude, so to get here, I have to take the U3 to Sternschanze, then the S to Altona, then walk another 15min from the main station to get here, otherwise take a taxi that costs 5min and 8 euros.
Unfortunately, coming here often is not motivating for me to do, because of its out of the way location. If I end up with a car and prices were comparable to Betahaus, I might reconsider in the future, if I still require the services of a coworking space. Since I was only here over the weekend for the event, I am not even sure how busy it is during the week. The charm with co working spaces is seeing other people, that is one of the main attractions, because if people did not want to meet other like minded individuals, they could work from home for free or sit in Startbucks just to be near other people in general. You cowork so that you can mutually benefit by the people working around you. read more
