CoWork @ Rizoma

The GT-Cowork is managing the entire first floor on top of our supermarket with several separate rooms, set up as a flexible CoWorking areas for Rizomis.

We have fixed desks, flex desks, a lounge and workshop table. Our members enjoy Internet over WiFi (obvi), Air Conditioning & heating, a fridge and microwave as well as “phone booths” for making calls. You can make yourself a coffee with our portafilter espresso machine or do prints for a donation. All housed in a warm atmosphere with a lot of wood and plants 🌱.

Cowork as a Community

We are more than just your average Coworking space: we are a community. This means we want our work space to be more than a place to get work done (though that is a core part most of the day). But it’s also where you hang out with peers, have lunch or coffee together, chat and learn: We host regular shared lunches (called RizAlmocos) and chats over cake (called “Fika”), events and presentations. Often, also open to non-coworkers. You can see what’s coming up below.

Unlike other cowork-spaces we take that very literally: as a GT (Working Group) of the Cooperative the Cowork is not profit oriented and self-organized by its members. Our members have regular cleaning shifts, contribute to events and the space and we decide together in regular meetings what problems to address and how (including decisions over the budget).

Upcoming Events:

The following events are currently planned at Cowork:

If you want to host an event, let us know. We also provide the flex space for non-cowork-events (outside of core working hours; our tables can be folded away), as well as a workshop room area (large desk for small group workshops) within working hours for a fee. Contact us, if you are interested in any of these.
