Hub Feenix: a restored sanatorium in the Finnish forest
Hub Feenix occupies a restored sanatorium in the forested countryside near Raseborg, about an hour from Helsinki. It is a broader project than a coliving: studios, a makerspace, retreat spaces and coworking, aimed at artists, makers, nomads and healers.
What Hub Feenix Does
- Private rooms in a restored institutional building. Around 690 euros a month discounted from 840, or 28 euros a night.
- Studios and a makerspace. Room to actually produce work rather than only answer email.
- Retreat spaces to host in. The building is set up for people running workshops and retreats, not only attending them.
- Coworking and shared amenities. With a 14 night minimum.
- Shared meals and open conversation. The community model is meals and making rather than networking.
Why It Makes Sense for Nomads
Finland is expensive, extremely well organised and one of the best-connected countries in the world. An hour from Helsinki puts you in deep forest and lake country while keeping an international capital and airport in reach.
Around 690 euros a month is remarkable for Finland, where a studio in Helsinki costs several times that. The building's scale is what makes it possible, and it also explains the range of facilities.
Two things to weigh honestly. Finnish winters are long and very dark, which some people find ideal for focused work and others find hard. And the maker and retreat focus means you will get more from this if you have something to make; as a pure work base it is a lot of space you would not use.
