Workspace, studios, events and community under one roof.
ODDspace is a year-round workspace and event space in Vallila for people working across art, culture, design, media, technology, business and other creative fields. It includes coworking areas, meeting rooms, the Gallery, Aula, the Event & workshop space, the Auditorium and ODDstudio.
People can work independently, host events and cross paths with others from very different fields. ODDspace is still evolving, and the people who use it help shape what it becomes.
Come here to work. Meet people. Host events. Or simply have a place to return to between projects.

Creative work needs more than moments.
Great things happen in projects, events, commissions and productions. But when they end, people disperse, momentum fades and the next thing often starts from scratch.
ODDspace exists to give creative work a place to continue between those moments — somewhere to return to, keep working, meet people outside your own field and develop ideas before they have a brief, budget or stage.
The ambition is bigger than providing desks or rooms. We want to create a place where work, relationships and opportunities can grow over time. ODDspace is the first working version of that idea.
