New office at Wabernstrasse 40

Since 1 February 2026 we have been working at Wabernstrasse 40 in Bern. Why we moved and what is different at the new location.

After many years at Sandrainstrasse 17 in the Marzili, we packed up at the beginning of 2026. It was not a long way: the new office is a few minutes from the Aare and so in the same Bern as before. What changes is the space we have and how we use it.

What the previous premises looked like and what Aarebags have to do with them is in the post about the premises.

Before: the empty rooms at Wabernstrasse 40.

Why we moved

The team has grown in recent years, and with it the need for space that is not just desks: places for conversations with clients, for workshops and for focused work without headphones. At Sandrainstrasse we had reached that point.

There was a second reason. At the same time we were preparing for certification to ISO/IEC 27001, and the premises are part of the audit scope: access, storage, receiving guests. At a new location such requirements can be planned in from the start instead of being squeezed into an existing floor plan afterwards. The move made this work noticeably easier.

Moving day: boxes and a plant in the foreground, half-assembled desks and office chairs behind.
Moving day: boxes, cables and a team that can carry desks too.

The new location

The new office is considerably larger than the old one, and it offers more than desks: a kitchen with room for the whole team, a balcony for a break in the fresh air, meeting rooms for client appointments and workshops, quiet corners for focused work and an underground car park.

Many people know the Marzili district from summer: the Aare, the open-air pool, the lawn. For us the location mainly means short distances. The Sulgenau and Wander stops are a few steps from the building, and tram 9 and several bus lines run from there to the station without changing. A PubliBike subscription is part of the package too, so anyone who comes without their own bike takes one from the station. The new address is on the contact page.

For lunch, the choice within walking distance ranges from the Fiscalia canteen, where we eat at the internal rate, through several restaurants to the Coop. The Aare is a few hundred metres away. For client appointments, visitor parking is available behind the building.

Two moves in one winter

In the same winter, the data centre change took place: around a hundred server instances, and a team that touched every single one. Two moves, one physical, one virtual, both with the same rule: one person responsible, nothing forgotten, because everything is on a list.

‘New space. Fresh colors. New energy. There is more to an office move than you see at the end: lots of organisation, countless clarifications, decisions and quite a few hours of work. All the more reason I’m pleased to see the result. A new location, modern rooms and plenty of space for new ideas. The effort was worth it. Here’s to the next chapter!’
