Our work approach
How we work:At Garage664, we do not only believe in innovation and collaboration, we live it!Similar to many Silicon Valley founders who began their journeys to success in the small, indoor burrows of car parking spaces, the entry to our office, is also a literal garage gate. In the mornings, when the garage door rolls up and the working hours begin, you are not first welcomed at a reception desk or fancy lobby, you walk into a former apartment, but now our open office co-working space. At Garage664, we all work in the same space, whether you’re the Head of Office or the current intern. This allows for short paths when there are questions and to constantly keep the work flow moving for maximum productivity. Furthermore, it inspires creative ideas as everyone in the office is encouraged to speak up and share their thoughts.Although we also have a conference room and a stage area that we use to host events, these two are not the heart of the Garage664; it is the communal space that brings us closer together. At the Garage, we meet, discuss, share things about our professional and personal lives, and also laugh, cook, and enjoy the work we pursue.Simply put, not only are we innovative, but so is the environment we work in. - Cheers to innovation.Here's what our people have to say:At our Beirut office, we have a diverse team with international and local experts. The most important factor when it comes to setting up the team is, to us, that everybody is passionate about their work and really loves passing through the garage gates every morning. We are not only co-workers, but we also engage in team outing, such as trips to the museum, or enjoy a lovely dinner together."The first time I stepped into the Garage, I was immediately struck by the energy it conveys. The open space concept creates an atmosphere of creativity, the view outside calms you down and the people inside make you want to start working on new ideas immediately. Of course, an open space concept also creates challenges on how we organise our work together. But I truly believe that this process will make us better and stronger as a team. I enjoy coming to this office every day and I consider it to be the ideal setting for working on innovative ideas for a better society. I invite everyone to pass by and experience the special atmosphere of Garage664!" - Kristof"Garage664 is the place where I am building my very first memories with my new-born daughter. Yes, she is growing up in a garage. The office is not simply a working area; it is a space with a spirit... a family spirit that keeps us going and sane, and that unleashes our productivity and creativity." - Maysa"For me, working at FNF Lebanon and Syria is punk rock because the work of this office is truly dynamic and engages more young people in the region to promote liberalism and be active in civil society." - Marielle
