The cost of the space is around €870,00 per month. We are happy to provide with formal invitation letters and support any funding applications you might want to submit.

NB: It is NOT suitable for loud noise. As with all spaces within the OT301, we are respectful of our neighbors. Being the space itself not completely insulated from noise/sound made in other parts of the building either, you would need to be able to work with that.
