✹ Spaces will be hubs of our own, spread around the world for our community — every door opened by a ✹Community membership. None are built yet. This page is the blueprint.
Minimal. Sustainable. Affordable. In that order, on purpose.
Minimal, sustainable and affordable - we focus on providing gorgeous spaces that meet your needs without unnecessary frills or finishes.
I need office space
I need desk space
I need living space
I need family space
I need party space
I need event space
I need community space
A bed, kept affordable
A bed, good light, and the whole hub downstairs.
Desks, kept affordable
Desks and quiet rooms, bookable by the day. The coffee's figured out.
Sessions & workshops
Where School sessions, First Light meetups and member workshops happen. Book one, teach something.
Dinners, shows, parties
Kitchens, rooftops and screening corners for dinners, shows and the occasional questionable party.
Spaces aren't rentable to the public. Every door opens with a ✹Community membership — that's what keeps them affordable, trusting, and full of people worth bumping into.
Members will be able to live and work in any of them.
Our hubs share a language: modular, deliberate, repeatable. We're developing it the way you'd develop anything worth keeping — slowly, in public, one building at a time. Every hub is a draft of it. Good bones, second-hand furniture with first-rate stories, nothing that doesn't earn its place.
The spaces are early sketches of something much bigger we're building toward.
✹Space to customize — every hub leaves room for members to shape it.
One hub to start, somewhere in South Africa, when it's time. The rest of the map stays unwritten for now — the community will pull it where it goes.
For members passing through, working deep, teaching something, celebrating something.
Not for anonymous stays. If you want a place where nobody talks to you, cities are full of those.
No — membership is the key. The good news: it's priced to your means, so the door is closer than you think.
Kept affordable, on purpose — priced fairly and openly when the first doors open. Write to us and we'll keep it fair.
Yes — Space to Play and Space to Learn exist exactly for that. Members host dinners, workshops and shows all the time.
South Africa first, in time. After that, wherever the community pulls us. Your membership will work in all of them.
