Located in the Vlněna business park, Clubco is a premium coworking space situated in a prestigious location near the city centre. Through its name and logo, which features a ball of wool (in Czech klubko), it pays homage to the past of the site as a hub of the city’s textile industry.
Once a hub of Brno's entrepreneurial spirit, the Vlněna complex continues to foster development today. It is home to a dynamic mix of large and small companies. Clubco boasts a unique architectural concept, created through international collaboration involving the Dutch designer Bart Vose and the renowned Czech architect Václav Hlaváček and his team from Studio acht. Coworking members will find modern, well-equipped, flexible office spaces in various sizes, shared areas, abundant greenery, chillout boxes, phone booths, event spaces with sound systems, and high-tech meeting rooms. All tenants have access to outdoor areas surrounding the offices, where they can relax at the café, serving coffee from the locally popular Rebelbean roastery, or take advantage of the amenities offered by the Vlněna business park.
The Clubco space is an intriguing artistic synthesis, from the architecture by Václav Hlaváček to the interior decorations by the visual artist Michal Škapa. His graffiti can be found in some rooms, along with installations on the building's exterior. The interior spans five floors, with the lowest level directly accessible from the underground parking garage. A striking yellow spiral staircase, symbolizing unspooling wool thread, runs through the centre of the space. The theme of wool is also reflected in the names of meeting rooms, such as Mohér, Kašmír, and Alpaka, and the information system designed by graphic designer Lukáš Kijonka. The space across three levels offers visitors and clients approximately 220 seats. It includes one underground floor and two above-ground levels, connected by a spacious atrium and the yellow staircase. Workspaces are available in both the open shared area near the central staircase and in private offices within a quieter, architecturally separated section.
The Vlněna business park provides everything needed for 21st-century work: it accommodates all types of transportation, with parking spaces, electric vehicle charging stations, and facilities for shared bikes and scooters. The complex includes a fitness centre, bike rooms with changing rooms and showers, and greenery year-round, inviting relaxation and social gatherings. Clubco serves not only as a base for emerging entrepreneurs but also as a venue for various social events. At the end of 2023, Clubco expanded to Prague and Ostrava. The Brno Clubco has been in operation since May 2021.
