Our Story
Founded in 2020, Warm Myst emerged from a simple yet powerful vision: to create workspaces that inspire creativity, foster collaboration, and build lasting professional relationships. Our journey began when our founders, experienced entrepreneurs themselves, recognized the need for a different kind of workspace in Edinburgh.
Located in the vibrant Clerwood area, our space was thoughtfully designed to blend modern amenities with the warm, welcoming atmosphere that Scotland is known for. We believe that great work happens when great minds come together in an environment that nurtures both productivity and community.
From our humble beginnings with just a few hot desks, we've grown into a thriving community of over 200 members, including freelancers, startups, remote workers, and established businesses. Yet, despite our growth, we've maintained the personal touch and community spirit that makes Warm Myst special.
