The Hive
Aimed at people working in the digital sector, the Hive is a unique space offering a wide array of options to suit your needs. You can sit at one of its hives, which are 1-person cubicles open on the space but giving you privacy and focus, or you can choose the more classical lounge option. An office pod is also available – a 1-person glass box in the garden from which to have phone calls and privacy. 5 phone booths are also featured and anyone can also use the printer, the kitchen, dining tables, the garden, the terrace and the ping-pong table freely. Almost all facilities can be booked using credits, which you can buy in bulk (100 minimum, at 1500€ for 100) and which never expire. A 5-days-per-week subscription costs 400€ and comes with 10 monthly credits, but you can also opt for 2, 2 ½ or 3-day-per-week subscriptions.
