About Atlant

"We give space"
Space is a place, your own environment with everything that goes with it: sound, smell, light, atmosphere, colour, thoughts, your dreams. Space is also an almost infinitely available place, an opportunity, possibilities. It is all that we wish for every person - client, neighbor, volunteer, employee - everyone. We want to give that space: a place to be yourself. With space you can develop yourself, however you want. Exactly what suits you.
