1. Membership (WePlay)
Pay a monthly fee for access to creative space. Flexible. Try a city. Bring a project. Leave when you want. Think gym membership energy, industrial room instead of treadmills.
Product
Two ways to get a room. One standard: mess is allowed.
Cement floors, noise, tools, unfinished work. You come to make things — not to look busy on video calls.
2. Ownership shares
A group of makers forms one company that buys a whole building. You own a share tied to the square feet you use. After the note is paid, you are not renting forever — you hold real ownership through the company.
Side by side
| Topic | Membership | Ownership shares |
|---|---|---|
| What you pay | Monthly access fee | Down payment + monthly share of the building note, tax, and insurance |
| What you get | Right to use space under house rules | Exclusive use of your studio map + ownership percent in the company |
| Who holds the deed | Eternal Saturday or a building landlord | The maker company (one deed, one note) |
| Best for | Trying space, moving cities, lighter commitment | Putting down roots and stopping pure rent |
| Finish level | Raw OK — you can add simple walls later | Raw delivery on purpose; members fund light demising if they want it |
Some people start on membership and later roll into an ownership round in the same building. That hybrid is on the roadmap — simple first, legal paperwork done properly before anyone wires large money.
House culture
- Making noise and dust is normal in designated hours and zones
- Work-only studios first — sleeping rooms only if the city signs off
- Clear rules so painters, welders, and quiet crafts can share a shell
- No fake “luxury loft” tax baked into the rent just for white walls
First locations
We are forming the brand and the waitlist first. Early buildings will favor secondary cities and honest industrial shells — places where makers can afford to start, not only coastal trophy zip codes.
