Here's the layout and feel we're suggesting for the space — calm, bright and built for focused work. We'll shape the final fit-out with our founder members before we open.
Suggested layout — concept visuals, not photos. These are illustrative images of the environment we intend to create. The Canterbury hub is opening soon and isn't open yet (opening January 2027); the final layout, furniture and finishes may differ.

Open to members, and to 2-Hour and Day Pass holders during their booked time.
Automated entry & exit
The Open Office is designed to run itself. Members let themselves in and out with secure, automated access control, so there's no reception to wait for and no opening hours to work around.
Use the member app on your phone or your key card at the door reader. Access is personal to you.
Grab a hot desk or head to your dedicated desk and locker — early mornings, late nights, weekends.
The door releases automatically from the inside. No signing out and no waiting for anyone to let you leave.
Unlimited and Dedicated members come and go 24/7 and stay as long as they like. Need longer than a pass? Book another, or go Unlimited.
Access details are sent to members and pass holders before their first visit.

Takes under a minute. We're opening soon — we'll confirm your spot by email and send a secure link to pay your first month or your prepaid year.
We're opening soon — the target is January 2027. We're not open yet. Founders will be the first to get access and will hear from us directly with the exact date and entry details.
If we're not open by the end of January 2027, every founder gets a full refund of everything they've paid. No forms, no arguments.
There's no deposit. On a monthly founder plan you pay your first month upfront to secure your spot, and your next payment isn't due until after we open. On a one-year package you pay for the full 12 months upfront, and your year starts on opening day.
The first 30 members lock in Unlimited at £99/month (later £149) or Dedicated at £149/month (later £199) for as long as they keep their membership.
Pay for 12 months upfront and get 2 months free: Unlimited for £990 (instead of £1,188 at £99/month) or Dedicated for £1,490 (instead of £1,788 at £149/month). Your 12 months start on the day we open, and the same full refund applies if we're not open by the end of January 2027. Paying upfront also helps us fit out the space to a high standard before opening.
Unlimited lets you use any free hot desk, 24/7. Dedicated gives you your own reserved desk that's always yours — leave your monitor and set-up in place.
Yes. A 2-Hour Pass is £4.76 and a Day Pass is £13.99 — one-off, no membership needed. Book online, pick a desk on the map or let us allocate one, and your access works only for the time you've booked.
Your access ends automatically when your pass expires — the app/door code and Wi‑Fi stop working at the end time. You'll get a soft reminder 15 minutes before, and the desk is then freed for the next booking. The exit door always opens from the inside, so you're never locked in. Unlimited and Dedicated members aren't timed — stay as long as you like, 24/7.
Yes. When you book a 2-Hour or Day Pass you can tap any free hot desk on the floor map, or let us allocate one for you (we spread people out so it stays calm). Members on Unlimited can use any free hot desk; Dedicated members have their own desk.
A calm break and games corner: two retro MAME arcade cabinets, table football, a board games shelf, books and magazines, a lounge sofa and free tea & coffee. It's for members, and for pass holders during their booked time. It's set apart from the desks so the work area stays quiet.
Central Canterbury. We'll share the full address with members ahead of opening.
There's no reception desk to wait for. You'll tap in with the member app on your phone or a key card at the door reader, and the door releases automatically from the inside when you leave — any time of day or night. Members receive their secure access credentials before opening day.
Monthly memberships have no long-term contract — cancel any time. The one-year package is a prepaid 12-month term; at the end of it you can renew at your founder rate or switch to monthly. If you leave, the founder rate isn't held for you, so the spot goes to someone else.
Yes — add a Virtual office (£25/month) for a professional Canterbury business address, or Mail & parcel handling (£10/month) to have deliveries kept safe for you.
