Yaël Meier: "The co-working space is in line with our vision of enabling creative work".

Simon Günthard of Projekt Interim explained that his company offers temporary interim uses of vacant spaces and Zeam had requested the space on Zeughausstrasse for shared use. That opportunity led to the creation of the downstairs co-working space in partnership with Zeam. The project aims to explore the new generation's needs for office space, Günthard said.

Yaël Meier, founder of Zeam, shared her vision of creating a space where people can work on their ideas, regardless of their financial resources. The focus is on creating a community of makers.

The rush for the co-working space was impressive, as Yaël told Werbewoche.ch in a video interview. Applicants were selected based on their skills and willingness to support each other. This approach is meant to foster an environment where ideas can be put into action. The room's furnishings come from IKEA and are in line with the vision of creativity and productivity.

Werbewoche also listened to the first users of the co-working space. Leandro Rufo, founder of Vita Vera, sees the space as a chance to get out of his own four walls and learn from others while pushing his own project. Sheila Bugal, who is active in marketing and the music world, specifically looked for an inspiring place where he could work with like-minded people, and found it in coworking just a few minutes from Zurich's main train station.

Linge Jonker, responsible for teamwork in the co-working space, was enthusiastic about the diversity of projects and the positive collaboration among users. Hannes and his colleague are planning to set up their video production company in the co-working space and see it as the ideal environment for idea development and networking. Overall, the co-working space already seems to be attracting a diverse and creative community of makers who support and inspire each other to move their projects forward.
