Workshop17 Tabakhuis

Workshop17 Tabakhuis is a historical building in Paarl and forms part of the heritage area. The building was once used as a storage facility for tobacco which led to the naming of the property which we have transformed into a work and meeting place for a community. Tabakhuis is centred around the social workspace within the café environment aimed to encourage idea generation, collaboration and sharing between startups, seasoned professionals, small and large companies, entrepreneurs and freelancers. Tabakhuis offers over 140 hot desks, 16 private offices, 4 semi-private offices, meeting rooms and boardrooms along with a fully equipped seminar room located on the ground floor with easy access to the café.

CO-WORKING

At Workshop17 Tabakhuis we offer our members over 500m² of hot-desking, standing desks and dedicated desks covering two floors. Meeting rooms, boardrooms and lounges are located in between the hot-desking areas and welcome members for meetings, catch-ups or a breakaway space for brainstorming the next great idea. Members can make themselves at home in the Vrede & Lust Bakery located on the ground floor and enjoy a coffee or a bite to eat in the lounge or work café.
