On the Grid : Taiga
"Taiga is a creative platform and space in Saint-Petersburg which brings together young professionals in creative fields for collaboration, creativity and useful work. During the last few years it brought together designers, architects, artists, advertisers, photographers, software solutions developers, producers. The founders of this project found a non-trivial solution, implementing the project in an old mansion with a view of the Peter and Paul Fortress. This building is located on Palace Embankment in the historical center of the city and was established in 1730 . Not only offices, small agencies and design shops with some handmade stuff like jewelry can be found here. There is a nice loft courtyard with wooden floors, stairs and lights. Here you can have a cup of coffee, buy a book about photography or design and moreover you can go to barbershop." - Nimax
