Services of the cooperative

We’re currently working on figuring out the first services we’ll be able to provide together with our participating projects.

Premises

The place is a 260 m² storage room (varastotila) with a front window on Haagan tori and windows on the back street.

As of January 2025 we’re actively using about half of the space:

• Front open space, 100 m² (Pyöräpaja)
• Separate locked room, 10 m² (storage)
• Kitchen and shared spaces, 50 m²

The other spaces are still evolving (mostly used for storage):

• Back open space, 50 m² (originally full of shelves)
• Former “office” area, 10+40 m²

Rental

To be sustainable, the cooperative will need to rent the majority of its space to at least two projects on a long term basis. We have some ideas but they’re not confirmed yet.

Long-term rentals for like-minded associations will start at about 10 €/m²-kk.

Services for individual members

The main purpose of the cooperative is exchanging services between members. Services are mostly provided by “producer members” and used by “participant members”.

As a participant member, you help us decide what services the cooperative should provide and at what conditions. Come to us with your suggestions! Some ideas we’ve heard are:

• Use of the shared spaces for meetings, private or public
• Shared P.O. box: receive mail, store it in a temporary area and fetch it yourself
• Storage space (open shelves, floor area or locked cabinets in the open area)
• Storage room (locked)
• Handicraft area (to be set up)
• Warm winter storage for a bulky project like a boat (veneen talvisäilytys, lämmin halli)
