Immediately after yesterday’s
story about the history of Techstars Startup Digest and, in particular, about the thematic selection of
IT events in Moscow , we decided to show you an offline infrastructure that is suitable not only for seminars and lectures, but also for the immediate work of specialists and teams. To do this, we looked to the #tceh guys from the Moscow coworking and looked at how everything worked out.
Today we will show you what #tceh has on Myasnitskaya Street, and the next time - the second co-working next to m.China-gorod. (
Attention, under the cut - 11 MB of photos. )

The history of the project dates back to 2014 (in fact, even earlier - you can read about it
here ). From the first day it is an open platform for entrepreneurs and professionals. Here you can find like-minded people to launch a startup, hear expert opinion and criticism of your projects, study on thematic courses and just work for your pleasure.
The guys at #tceh say they would like to “form and develop a local ecosystem." To do this, they regularly hold expert sessions and educational courses.
All this takes place in the walls of coworking. Even two. Not so long ago, #tceh opened a second platform near the metro station China-city. Next to the first coworking - on Myasnitskaya - is the Accelerator of FRIA, with which #tceh cooperates in the framework of educational activities.
For those who prefer a sporty lifestyle, there is parking for bicycles and scooters. We came to visit #tceh on Saturday, so no vehicles were found here.
We look that inside
The building has a pass system. Residents have personal cards, and guests are issued one-time. By the way, you can sign up for a personal tour on the coworking website.
At the reception, the staff #tceh and IIDI welcome guests and receive correspondence. And for guests there are sofas.
In the co-working compact and fairly comfortable wardrobe. Employees say that in case of bad weather, you can insure and leave your shoes here.
By the way, in the sofas, which are located in the "loud zone" for telephone lovers there are sockets. Therefore, the duration of the conversation the charge of the gadget just will not affect. Here you can temporarily move from the usual workplace just to change the situation.
For residents there are two meeting rooms: "Another Galaxy" and "Flight." The employment of negotiations can be checked without unnecessary concern for those in confession - everything can be seen through the glass wall (and in the personal office on the project site where you can book time).
It is said that the most restless residents use large glass walls to draw graphs and fix ideas. Even in each room there is an air-conditioner, a marker board and a large TV (adapters for connection can be taken at the reception).
Moving towards jobs
A red loft brick, lots of light and air, and a green “walkway” - for contrast:
In total, there are 96 seats and a separate office at Myasnitskaya #tceh. If interested,
here you can see the current rates.
Sections of the working space are divided into 12 seats on each side of the central passage. One large table for 8 people and a separate one for 4.
Technique and equipment can be left at the workplace.
For storage there are personal lockers.
One of the niches in the wall in the last section of the workspace is fully occupied by lockers of various sizes - additional storage space.
What else is in #tceh
This is a lecture audience. Educational events and project presentations take place here.
Kitchen - a favorite place of residents. It is quite compact, but very well zoned. At once 2-3 teams can be placed here, without interfering with each other.
For those who like to come to work early or, on the contrary, linger until late at night (when coffee shops are no longer working), there is a coffee machine in the kitchen. There is also a coffee grinder. Gourmets can bring their favorite grains with them and make coffee according to their own recipe.
The kitchen is equipped with everything necessary: there is a fridge, dishwasher, dishes and cutlery.
You can eat in a small cafe. It has everything from coffee to full-fledged business lunches.
PS In the following materials we will continue to talk about urban infrastructure for IT professionals and be sure to show the second co-working #tceh in the area of m.China-gorod.
