Interior space with wooden and corrugated metal walls, a small brown table, rolls of paper, and a cutting mat.

This space was designed and built by Ted Smith & Others in 1995. How we got here is nothing short of divine intervention. He names all his buildings after ships. This one is an American Civil war ship (north side of course). It is home to his archive of original drawings and priceless architectural models.

What People Are Saying

  • I loved this! Please host more. I loved connecting with other creatives and having a safe space to work and chat about what's going on and what people are working on, without it being a "professional networking" event that can come with stress and anxiety to "pitch" yourself.

    — KRYSTAL REYNOSO

    — KRISTEN VICTOR, MEMBER

this could be the space that takes you to the next level and beyond.

  • Creatives who were taught to never design in a Silo. We met through the music and the architecture. This Community was Created by Steffi. The building is owned by Ted Smith and Lloyd Russel. Property is Managed by Doug Hartley.

  • We believe in daylight and an ocean breeze. The tall windows and open air purposely bring the city to you. This is a space that will stimulate you enough to lock-in without feeling bored. You are doing something worthwhile after all.

  • Creatives, Designer, Architects, Movers, Shakers, Artists and the Hustlers, poised to make it happen.
