A quiet, no-frills focus space where you can rent a desk by the hour. No talking. No Zoom calls. Just silence and a place to get work done.
Every knowledge worker, student, and creative in New York has experienced this frustration.
You walk into 3 different cafes before finding a seat. Then you're surrounded by loud conversations and laptop clatter.
You want a quiet hour to read or write between yoga and getting groceries. Home has distractions. Cafes are loud. You just need a place.
When home isn't working, you need somewhere else to go.
We're not reinventing coworking. We're just providing the one thing everyone needs: a quiet place to think.
This isn't a suggestion. It's the rule. Phone calls, Zoom meetings, and conversations happen elsewhere.
Reserve your spot ahead of time. No guessing, no hunting for a seat. If you booked it, it's yours.
No memberships required. No monthly fees. Just $8/hour for the time you need.
Inspiration doesn't follow a 9-to-5 schedule. Neither do we.
One location, 20 desks, one employee at a time. Low overhead, clear value proposition.
