The beauty of coworking lies in its versatility - it doesn't have to be limited to just one purpose. The flexibility and diversity of the model allow it to serve multiple functions simultaneously. Today's coworking space is not just a workspace, but also a café, an event venue, or even a private office for some. It's not just a physical space, but a social hub that has been steadily transforming residential neighborhoods in Geneva and beyond. In fact, the name itself, Voisins (which means neighbors in French), reflects its vision. How did Voisins come to exist in the first place? What has the brand's journey been like so far? You're about to find out.
