Getting Here

We welcome you to visit for a day, a week, and recurring visits to co-work with colleagues, schedule group and project meetings, or think alone with a view. We dreamed to life a spectrum of collaboration spaces - shared offices, phone rooms, lounge seating, worktables, bench seating, meeting rooms, kitchen, and a full 150-person auditorium. Amenities include an espresso maker, wellness and prayer room, gym, game room, and blackboards.
Endless blackboards, curved blackboards.
Endless views of Lake Michigan. Come visit. Be inspired.
