Coworking Space: Schraubenfabrik in Vienna

The open-plan factory style lofts are spatial, social and atmospheric. Schraubenfabrik began as a coworking venue in 2002 when a group of self-employed individuals decided that they did not want to work alone at home anymore. These innovative souls founded a place to meet likeminded people where they could learn from each other, play with each other and at times work collaboratively on assignments and projects. Schraubenfabrik soon took on a life of its own within a wide circle of the young Viennese creative scene, the community of entrepreneurial attitude bearers and businesses with a sense of humor. The concept grew and is now networking across borders making it a globalization hub for micro-enterprises.

A coworking home for initiators of the 21st Century, it is the space for different organizations, doing different jobs and using different tools. From architects to PR consultants, cooperatives and freelancers to small businesses, you will find them all scattered throughout Schraubenfabrik, working on laptops or chatting on cell phones.

Schraubenfabrik is a hoi polloi of industries gathered in a bustling space where you will find not just office coworking spaces, but a food cooperative, meeting rooms, exhibition spaces of many types and a stunning terrace for fresh air lovers, lunch eaters and sunbathers. There is also a workshop of old handcrafts - think letterpress printing, hot foil stamping, contour punching and color cutting for those who like to tinker.

This is an eclectic coworking space that has to be seen to be believed.
