It is in Pelham Park currently and functions as a gallery space, fabrication hub, experimentation area, and community library. It is also great for non-profit organizations and coffee bars, for example. The team speaks about the project, stating that "Today's office is no longer just a place for work, but rather a space for conversation and discourse, a space for inspiration and rejuvenation, and a space for community to get involved, and gather and share knowledge. The [greenery and natural elements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bochum-office) of the garden create a sense of tranquility, which helps reduce stress and improve overall well-being."
