Why bother

It's not the job that's hard.

It's the house. Kids, dishes, doorbell, dog, all day long. You don't need a hangout, and you don't need a downtown lease. You need a quiet room ten minutes from your house, and that is what this is.

Memberships

What you get, and what it costs.

Twenty-five walled desks, eight booths, and nine open seats. Those are the memberships.

Wi-Fi, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate come with all three.

Open 6 AM to 8 PM, seven days a week.

Memberships run in three-month terms, billed monthly. Your first month is charged today, then the same on the same day each month.

The main room down its centre: two long butcher-block runs along white brick walls with a frosted divider between each place, a back-to-back island of desks in the middle, black mesh chairs, and a honeycomb of hex lights overhead.

Walled Desk

Frosted walls on three sides, open at the front.

Four feet of desk, and three sides no one can see through. Yours alone — one member to a desk.

$249per month

about $12 a working day

$249 charged today — your first month. Then the same on the same day each month.

A row of booths along a white brick wall: tall black-framed frosted screens standing between each one, a dark wood desk and drawer unit inside, open to the aisle at the front.

Inside the conference room.
The conference room from the doorway: a long dark table ringed with high-backed black chairs, interior windows either side of the door, a whiteboard at right, and a slatted wood wall with a screen at left.

By the hour

The conference room.

$25 an hour

Ten chairs, a screen on the wall, and a table you can sit a customer at. You do not have to be a member. Anyone can book it by the hour, for a closing, an interview, a training session, or a morning of work somewhere quiet.

Book the room

Walled desk and booth memberships include two hours a month.

Help yourself.

Wi-Fi, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate are on the house.

The kitchenette, and the coffee that is free.
The kitchenette: white shaker cabinets over a dark stone counter, a stainless french-door refrigerator, a microwave, and a coffee maker, with a slatted wood wall and a doorway through to the main floor.
The lounge: four navy armchairs on striped carpet, a small wooden side table beside each pair, honeycomb lights overhead, and a doorway through to the desks.

Join today.

A membership is a desk that is yours, or a pop-in seat, in a room that is open 6 AM to 8 PM, seven days a week. The Wi-Fi is included, and coffee, tea, and hot chocolate are on the house.

The building holds forty-two — twenty-five walled desks, eight booths, and nine open seats. A membership is one of them.

Come and sit in the chair first if you'd rather: tell us when and we'll show you around. If you join and it isn't right, one email to hello@beach111.com cancels it. Notice takes fifteen days, any payment that falls due in that time is charged in full and not refunded, and nothing is charged after that.

Monthly rates. Day figures are the monthly price divided by 21 working days — a way to read the price, not a statement about opening hours. The conference room seats ten.

The whole place, in one flight.

A quick fly-through, a minute and a half with no cuts: the desks, the booths, the conference room, the kitchen, and back out over the lot.

Stay in the loop.

Closures, hours changes, and news from the Beach when there is some. Leave your email and we'll keep you posted.
