My name is Rosa Sijben and I’m looking for a studio space in Lisbon or home/studio-combo near Lisbon, to work for a period within January-June or after August 2021. In exchange, I have a beautiful studio space and home (see separate advertisement) to offer in Amsterdam.

I work in a building called T85 in a diverse neighbourhood in the East of the city. I share the top floor of an old school building with an amazing artist that only works in the late evenings. Our 70m2 floor, of which I rent 40m2, has it’s own toilet and sink and is divided by two curtains. Both of our spaces have a roof terrace to work and garden on. Mine is over 100m2, full of flowers and has a covered area to work in on rainy days. The indoor space is narrow but very long, hence my 3,40m long worktable. Internet, heating, reading nook and fully equipped kitchenette are available. Bonus: I have a heavy-duty paper cutter that can cut entire books at once!

The rest of the building is filled with the studio’s of socially engaged artists and creative entrepreneurs. Everyone is expected to contribute 60 hours a year to taking care of the building and providing a cultural program for the neighbourhood. We are situated on walking distance from shops, the Oosterpark, cafe’s and restaurants. My home (see separate advertisement) is five tram stops or a 15-minute bike ride away.
