In 2009 we were the first coworking space in Hungary and among the firsts in Austria, launching the coworking movement in the region. Today - thanks to all the innovative ideas and our diverse community - Loffice is home to creative entrepreneurs, cultural initiatives & freelancers of all sorts.

The mission
Today Loffice is present in 2 countries & in 4 locations, providing flexible office solutions, stylish spaces & a supportive climate to thrive in every sense. As a boutique office provider in Budapest & Vienna we strive for top-notch & tailor-made service, staying proactive to the world & needs around us.
The sister act
When there still wasn’t any Hungarian or German expression for coworking, two sisters decided to leave their previous careers behind & join forces in a shared passion for sharing economy. ‘Panni is the score, Kata is the melody, and you can only hear the music when they play together’ - a friend described them a few years ago. And it’s spot on.
The co-what?
The concept of coworking kicked off in the USA in 2005 with the aim to provide a common work space for freelancers & neo-nomads. A space where the office infrastructure is provided but shared with other individuals. Today being location-independent is not just a dreamy lifestyle anymore but became a common work style for most people, while sharing economy businesses became an integral part of our everyday lives.
The future of work
The rise of the coworking movement has also thoroughly reshaped the classic office market. 'Flexible' or 'hybrid working' are not exclusive coworking jargon anymore. Along these principles, in Loffice's iconic office buildings, we offer a professional office environment & serviced office rental for small & medium-sized businesses and even corporates.

About the locations
Our first venues launched in former industrial buildings. Our well-known start-up location was in the former printing shop of the Hungarian Music Academy. Later a former plastic factory was turned into a design award-winning office, then an old shoe factory was given new purpose as our base in Vienna. Our brand name reflects the trademark loft style of our spaces combined with the main service we offer.
Everyone has a hobby, right? Ours are art, design, gastronomy, business & lifestyle development. We create experiences and organize in-house happenings in these fields. Here's a taste of the 40+ Loffice events & initials of the last years.
Vienna WOW
Helping startups and entrepreneurs to expand their businesses to Austria, once a year we host a speed-dating & mentoring day to answer practical questions and provide business plan tips. Featuring experts in finance, law and investment, we have been able to help numerous businesses to cross the borders over the years.
Bring the Art Home
Our comprehensive art mentoring program has aimed to help young artists for 4 years. Exhibitions, round table discussions and other happenings have created a platform for them to introduce their art to a new audience, debut in a brand new target market & trigger cultural values.
Urban Jungle
In 2018, we took 1500 attendees and 20.000 online participants for a ride into an urban gastro & lifestyle jungle. Our Startup Safari Budapest series featured 20 happenings & 100 speakers on topics including the impact of technology on urban living, gastro startups, travel and self-education.
