Coworking Space at Zollhaus-Halle near Zürich HB
Are you a creative, fun-loving, and self-initiating individual looking for a co-working space that expands to the spheres of co-living and co-creating? If that was a curious ‘yes’, we might have something interesting for you.
We are a group of about 20 people living and working in one of the halls of the newly finished Zollhaus, part of the Genossenschaft Kalkbreite. The hall is 270 m2, has 4.1 m high ceilings, and hosts living-towers, cosy corners, bright communal spaces, and inhabitants ranging from children to artists to architects to gardeners to beings escaping worldly definitions. The space gives life to various living and usage modalities taking the form of:
- Living-towers with permanent inhabitants,
- Towers and rooms with semi-permanent inhabitants,
- Atelier spaces with fixed users, and
- Free-floaters&Co-workers using the space with no immobile attachments
We see the hall project as a dedicated living and creative space facilitating community living, artistic and political work as well as for occasional public events. The hall is a work in progress with a kitchenette and refinement of (living-)spaces in the making, all done and initiated by us.
