something new is brewing

Hi Michael here. We’re expanding beyond 65 Mohamed Sultan!

so… there’s this new project we are working on, as a deeper extension of the idea of community-first spaces.

we are looking to build interstitial spaces for creative technologists, independent builders, and thoughtful founders by quietly taking over a 1970s brutalist building in the heart of the city (at non-city prices). We will have 3 years to play.

we envision this to be a place for making, sharing, working, and creating. 

spread across multiple levels — some in the community have expressed concepts like:

• electronics maker labs

• event floors

• co-working offices

• GPU bars (tbh a bit expensive…)

• creative studios

• normal office also ok la

all brought together by a community that values depth, not noise. 

offices and studios will be loosely distributed throughout the building — not by formula, but by flow. some teams will take over full suites. some will just need a desk. others may drift between floors as their projects evolve. 

SQ collective will coordinate space but allow the space to grow organically — supporting everything from flexible desk bookings to full-room setups, depending on what each builder needs.

If you’re interested to co-locate and shape this together, help express interest! 

here's how you can be part of it ↓

i was always inspired by the backstreets of berlin, seoul, or tokyo — where old industrial streets get quietly taken over by artists, technologists, and independents, who then injected the good vibes into them? we're trying something similar here but in a quiet building in CBD. 

this is a quite an interesting opportunity in our urban story — a chance to rethink how space is shared, used, and shaped. an experiment in community activation on a level that hasn’t happened here before.

1. help name the space

some people have suggested a few names, which I intend to plaster onto the building facade. some good, some experimental. suggest your own or vote for what resonates.

2. express interest

we’re opening gradually. if you’re interested in:

• being a founding member

• running an event

• contributing to the build

• Others

Link: Express interest!

who this is for

people who want to make things. people who like asking better questions. people who care more about output than optics.

we’re building a space that’s quiet and unassuming on the outside, but full of momentum inside.

led by the dreamers and builders. designed together.

see you in the stairwell,
