Why bother

It's not the job that's hard.

It's the house. Kids, dishes, doorbell, dog, all day long. You don't need a hangout, and you don't need a downtown lease. You need a quiet room ten minutes from your house, and that is what this is.

Memberships

What you get, and what it costs.

Pop-In Memberships, Booths, and the Open Seat Day Pass. Two memberships, and a pass for the day.

Wi-Fi, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate come with all three.

Open 6 AM to 8 PM, seven days a week.

Memberships run in three-month terms, billed monthly. Your first month is charged today, then the same on the same day each month.

The main room down its centre: two long butcher-block runs along white brick walls with a frosted divider between each place, a back-to-back island of desks in the middle, black mesh chairs, and a honeycomb of hex lights overhead.

A desk with frosted walls, from the aisle: dividers standing above the work surface on both sides, a black mesh chair pulled in, mountain prints and a slatted wood wall beyond.

Pop-In Membership

Frosted walls on three sides, open at the front.

Four feet of desk, and three sides no one can see through. Take whichever one is free when you arrive.

The bar-top run wrapping a corner: a pale butcher-block counter on black legs with walnut-and-black stools tucked beneath it.

The lounge: four navy armchairs with yellow tablet arms on striped carpet, hex lights above, and an open doorway through to the booths.

A day in the building, start to finish.

Reserve a date and you get a door code good from 6 AM to 8 PM that day. Wi-Fi, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate come with it.

Inside the conference room.

The conference room from the doorway: a long dark table ringed with high-backed black chairs, interior windows either side of the door, a whiteboard at right, and a slatted wood wall with a screen at left.

The table from the door end: a wall-mounted screen showing a landscape on the slatted wood wall, a window to the parking lot, and a standing ledge with a stool along the far side.

By the hour

The conference room.

$25 an hour

Ten chairs, a screen on the wall, and a table you can sit a customer at. You do not have to be a member. Anyone can book it by the hour, for a closing, an interview, a training session, or a morning of work somewhere quiet.

Book the room

Both memberships include two hours a month.

Help yourself.

Wi-Fi, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate are on the house.

The kitchenette: white shaker cabinets over a dark stone counter, a stainless french-door refrigerator, a microwave, and a coffee maker, with a slatted wood wall and a doorway through to the main floor.

The lounge: four navy armchairs on striped carpet, a small wooden side table beside each pair, honeycomb lights overhead, and a doorway through to the desks.

A quiet corner: two wood-framed chairs either side of a small round table against a pale green wall, beside a slatted wood wall carrying a wall-mounted screen.

Join today.

A membership is a desk with walls around it, or a booth of your own, in a room that is open 6 AM to 8 PM, seven days a week. The Wi-Fi is included, and coffee, tea, and hot chocolate are on the house.

A membership is a desk in a room that stays quiet on purpose.

Come and sit in the chair first if you'd rather: tell us when and we'll show you around. If you join and it isn't right, one email to hello@beach111.com cancels it. Notice takes fifteen days, any payment that falls due in that time is charged in full and not refunded, and nothing is charged after that.

Membership rates are monthly. The working-day figure under a membership is that monthly price divided by 21 — a way to read the price, not a statement about opening hours. The day pass is a single day, priced as one. The conference room seats ten.

The whole place, in one flight.

A quick fly-through, a minute and a half with no cuts: the desks, the booths, the conference room, the kitchen, and back out over the lot.

Stay in the loop.

Closures, hours changes, and news from the Beach when there is some. Leave your email and we'll keep you posted.
