VA11a* is an open collective workspace for creatives on Amager, København.

Based on a simple and manageable subscription model, intended to open up for a broad range of members across creative disciplines and with varied patterns of attendance.

Founded on 1st January 2019, we’re an association and a cozy office community of ~25 members from across the creative spectrum. Our dream is to create new thoughts on architecture, design, art and performance by utilising our interdisciplinary skills from our differing creative backgrounds.

Over the past three years VA11a has grown into a hub for creative freelancers in København, where its members are ‘working alone together’ supporting one another as well as collaborating on occasion.

* VA11a is an abbreviation of our founding home Ved Amagerbanen 11a.

From the outset it has been our intention to nurture an identity that would grow naturally without prescribing to specific ideals on how we should work; therefore we would not restrict our individual creative processes. However, we still outlined our practice with 4 key principles to guide us;

1. Challenge the existing office structure; operate as a radically non-hierarchical workplace - that only solves problems when they arise.
2. Affordability; be financially accessible for all.
3. A platform for action; involving local communities, encouraging experimentation, knowledge sharing and collaboration.
4. Cross disciplinary membership; having a diverse group of members, that covers a broad spectrum of interests.
