The Vision

Not a coworking space.
A launchpad for intelligence.

We're building a dedicated Melbourne CBD base for AI builders. A workspace designed from the ground up for practitioners, founders, and researchers who want to work alongside others doing the same thing.

Build

A workspace optimised for AI development — fast connectivity, the right hardware, and fewer distractions.

Connect

Put AI practitioners in the same room. The conversations that happen between sessions are where ideas compound.

Launch

From prototype to production. A community that builds in public and ships real things.

The Address

317/480
Collins Street

48 square meters in the heart of Melbourne's CBD. Oaks on Collins, Collins Street — surrounded by the financial district, five minutes from Southern Cross Station. The space is currently being fit out for purpose.

Direction

Built with AI.
Built for AI builders.

This website was designed and coded using Claude Code. The visuals were generated with AI. That's the starting point, not the ceiling. Here's where we're heading.

Planned

AI Concierge

An AI assistant for the hub — answering questions, booking space, connecting members. Not built yet, but on the roadmap.

Planned

Multi-Model Access

We're exploring shared access to AI platforms — Claude, Gemini, open-source models via Ollama — so members can build without individual subscription overhead.

Claude Gemini Ollama Open Source
Planned

Events & Demo Nights

Regular gatherings where members show what they've built. Format and frequency to be shaped by the early community.
