Hedvig Dolling, Community Host at Ark, on which one of the A house guiding principles she is particularly dedicated to.

– A house is an incredibly inspiring community that radiates creativity. From my perspective, it is also a place to rest, hang out and have a laugh by the coffee machine. You have to step inside the house to feel the vibe that explains why we’re not just a regular coworking space!
