Fábrica Moderna is Lisbon's only coworking space built around a fully equipped shared creative workshop — a place where ideas don't stay on paper.

Resident ateliers can be rented for ongoing creative practice, and a multidisciplinary mentor community is on hand to help you take a project from first sketch to finished object.

Rua Pereira Henriques 5, 1950-242, Lisbon, Portugal
Fábrica Moderna sits in Marvila, Lisbon's rising creative and industrial district east of the city centre. Long home to warehouses and wine cellars, Marvila has steadily transformed into a concentration of artist studios, independent galleries and maker spaces — the kind of neighbourhood where the work you do inside feels continuous with the energy outside. The nearest Metro station is Bela Vista (Blue Line), offering a straightforward connection to central Lisboa. Street parking is available on Rua Pereira Henriques and surrounding streets, though it can be limited during busier times — residents and first-time visitors are advised to plan ahead. The wider Marvila area rewards exploration on foot, with independent cafés, ceramic studios and creative industry neighbours within easy walking distance. For those commuting from Oriente or Parque das Nações, the eastern corridor makes Fábrica Moderna one of the most accessible maker spaces on this side of the city.
The Marvila location is at Rua Pereira Henriques 5, 1950-242 Lisboa (Marvila district). Residents have 24/7 keycard/access to the building. First-time visitors and workshop participants should arrive at the main entrance on Rua Pereira Henriques and ring for entry. Contact the team at letstalk@fabricamoderna.com for specific access arrangements.

A series of super creative workshops that open to the public about 4 times a year. I loved the event I had the opportunity to attend, it's a huge shame that it's not always open.
