Venue

Puzl CowOrKing is hosting us in two of their Greenhouse dedicated office spaces. Puzl describes them as:

Greenhouse earned its name for a reason, as this time we decided to use even MORE natural materials. Together with the massive wooden desks, raw concrete, and stylish metal elements that are already a Puzl signature, with the Greenhouse, we introduced the use of clay (for a more cozy vibe), earth-like colors (proven to be great for concentration and overall productivity), and more greenery than we’ve ever placed before on a floor.

We are located in the Greenhouse offices on the 4th floor of the Siven building. To reach us, you have to take the elevator after the Athletic gym, not the one close to LIDL entrance.
