Want to come in once a week for a change of pace and scenery and rub elbows with some awesome people? We got you. We are not meant to work by ourselves day in and day out, work is where we make friends and build community together.

We all need different spaces to put us in different mindsets, to remove us from a familiar and comfortable environment and stimulate our brains. Come work with us and feel the difference in your productivity. Natural light, big airy spaces, raw architecture, live plants; these all stimulate the brain to help you stay alert, do your best thinking, and inspire your work. Not to mention our hospitality is second to none: monthly breakfasts, happy hours, events, local craft coffee and beer on tap and located right in the heart of downtown Effingham and everything it has to offer. We strive to create a place where you can enjoy coming to work.

Yes! We host corporate events, showers, and family parties. Please keep in mind, first and foremost, this is an office workspace, and as such, we will need to make accommodations in order to host you. You will need to supply your own food and drinks. We will take care of cleanup. Our industrial design will make a great backdrop for your pictures. Learn more about our rooms and book them below.

Yes! This is a working space, and we understand taking meetings is an important part of helping your business grow! The doors will be locked so you can meet your client at the door at the start of the meeting. Post-meeting, please be diligent in setting the expectation for them to depart shortly as we want to avoid overflow issues for the community.
