Sofia is about meeting people. Even though you can easily work alone and in isolation, each of us knows what it feels like to be a part of a community. The best community does not overwhelm and require anything from you, but people are, however, always ready to help, participate in brainstorming, discuss – and also to receive. Even a quick chat over a cup of coffee can point your ideas into a totally new direction. A direction that is very difficult enter by yourself. Meetings, planned or spontaneous, are for us humans both a key for finding solutions and essential for creating new steps. Everybody knows this.
Each new idea has its starting point, a starting moment. Café, restaurant, own workplace, roof terrace, conference room, phone booth or sitting on the stairs – it’s the freedom to choose that counts.
You will find a spot for yourself in a second, web connections are up and running, coffee is hot and you can concentrate on getting the work done. There is room for growth and progress.
The people doing their daily work here are great folks, each of them creating progress for the world in their field. Multi-talents, professionals, experts, teachers, writers, marketing people, entrepreneurs, students, directors, communicators, producers, researches, product developers, designers, technology gurus, visualists, merchants, builders and much more – people that get things done!
Researching, planning, meeting, discussing, pondering, deciding, learning, finishing, studying, writing, messaging, starting things, sharing experiences, selling and generally working with enthusiasm!
Meetings, negotiations, seminars, events, morning meetups, promotion events, trainings, celebrations, coaching, relaxing in sauna, sales, quiet pondering and concentration or a lively workshop, to name just a few examples. We can do all this.
A perfect breakfast in the morning kickstarts your work. The tasty lunch will give you energy to keep going for the rest of the day. Additionally we always have coffee, tea, refreshments, wine, champagne, beers, sandwiches and world’s best cinnamon rolls available for you.
“Good twist” is our mission. A good twist is created, when there are more good than bad days in the long run. We strive to provide a good working day for you and your community. Julia, Katri, Joni, Tinja, Tuuli, Jaana, Hanna, Aki, Karina, Wittaya, Mikko and the while team are always ready to help and build a good day with you.
There has been a sugar refinery, art museum, department store, café, restaurant, hardware store, police station, child protection office, work spaces, pop-up stores and a bazaar here. Concerts, seminars, meetings, celebrations, product launches and press conferences have been arranged here, to name just a few. Every day something changes here, something happens.
The Kiseleff house, built in 1771, and the extension to Stockmann department store, built from 1912 to 1913, together form a splendid complex, where 250 years of active past will inspire you towards building a new future.
