BAUM HAUS WORK

A design-led coworking space in Nagoya's Sakae district, on the second floor of the BAUM HAUS building at Sakae 3-chome. The space is operated by Juchheim. The German Baumkuchen brand. As part of a broader lifestyle complex that includes a hotel (FORZA) and a cafe on the ground floor. The result is a coworking environment that is noticeably different from the typical serviced office. Exposed concrete ceilings, polished floors, 3.5-metre ceiling height, and natural light throughout.

Drop-in access is available weekdays 10:00–18:00, no reservation required, walk straight in. The space is closed on weekends and public holidays for drop-in users. Monthly members get 24-hour, 365-day accessvia keycard. A front concierge is on-site during business hours on weekdays to handle guests and general support. Cashless payment only. No cash accepted.

The workspace is split into a work lounge and private offices. Drop-in and free-desk members use the lounge, which has Wi-Fi, power outlets, and phone booths for calls and video meetings at no extra charge (time-limited). The lounge also functions as a seminar and event space. Up to 30 people for events. For more privacy,a meeting room (8-person capacity) and a seminar room (16–20 people, 55-inch monitor) are bookable by the hour. A shooting room with three-sided natural light is also available for photo and video work.

Monthly membership has two tiers. The Business Plan (¥33,000/month including tax) allows corporate registration, a mailbox, and name display at the entrance. Useful for freelancers who need a Nagoya business address. The Third Place Plan (¥22,000/month including tax) is for personal use without registration. Both plans include Wi-Fi, locker access (paid separately), meeting room use (paid separately), and a multifunction printer (pay-per-use). There are currently11 private office units ranging from roughly 10 to 59 square metres for teams wanting dedicated locked space.

The Baumkuchen cafe (Teatime) sits in the building on the first floor. Reviewers mention freshly baked Baumkuchen and a relaxed atmosphere there. Whether the cafe offers non-dairy milk, vegan, or gluten-free options is not confirmed in available data. Check directly if you have dietary requirements. No food or drinks are served inside the coworking floor itself.

Google reviews are sparse (four total) but consistently positive on atmosphere. One reviewer called it 'a beautiful and quiet coworking space' and said they had no idea it existed in the area. The building is not obvious from the street. The space opened in March 2021 and is relatively new by Nagoya standards. English signage is limited. The concierge may or may not speak English, so basic Japanese is helpful.
