WITHCO KEMERALTI
Once the last stop on the Silk Road, the Port of Izmir was the meeting point of east and west. In the late 1800s, Palamuthan in Izmir was built as the last stop of the caravans, a meeting center for merchants and an inn where the heart of trade beat.
The rooms of Palamuthan, overflowing with silks, spices and precious stones brought by caravans, made it a center where the heart of the business world of the period beat. At that time, inns were not only places of trade, but also centers for the exchange of ideas, the fusion of cultures and the development of business relations.
Today, Palamuthan brings this deep-rooted historical and architectural heritage together with the modern business world.
In the heart of Izmir, this historic inn owned by the Giridizade Foundation is coming back to life with Withco’s innovative coworking vision. Palamuthan, once frequented by caravans and merchants, is now becoming a production space where creative professionals, entrepreneurs and people from different sectors meet.
The historic inn, with its culture, was a center of trade, collaboration and community centuries ago. Today, the flexibility and community spirit offered by coworking spaces is a modern reflection of this han culture. As Withco, we keep this culture alive in Palamuthan and blend the spirit of collaboration and sharing of the past with the needs of the modern business world.
Having an office in this timeless building among historical stone walls is more than just working in a space, it is also a unique experience that brings the past and the present together.
“Here, the traditional office concept gives way to collaboration, flexibility and individual creativity.”
