Converted Soma Garage
Really awesome space. We used it for a company/team planning offsite. Mix of functional 'desk' space with casual lounge furniture to soften the space. Wifi bandwidth was great, never faltered. As wide as the images make it look (I was worried it'd be too narrow) - roomy enough to gather...
