    Description

    We are turning this old school into a cohousing and coworking space. It is a 1000 sqm house, fully equiped with bathrooms and kitchens.

    The project is coming from a research called Architectural Democracy and the main cultural work there is being done by the non profit association World Music School ry.

    Most of the work is around the shared spaces, production work, maintenance, small repairs, etc.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We work with a lot of researchers from all over the world, and the area is very close to Helsinki. So expect people in and out all the time, but of course plenty of time by yourself.

    Plenty of lakes around here to swimm, horses and rivers.

    Accommodation

    Private bedroom or shared bedroom, some with shared washrooms. Good standards and privacy.
    Kitchen is shared.

    On food: basic food supplies are provided (salt, oil, sugar, spices, utensiles, etc.) but all the rest of the food is taken cared by each one (it has proven to be better for everyone due to dietary diets). Visits to the supermarket are frequent but also doable by bike.

    We do grills together and some joint dinners.

    Bicycles available.
