Our official operating hour for space Day Pass is Tue-Sat 11AM-7PM, where we share our space with others. Usually, there’s not much people except 1-2 regulars, hence it can be pretty quiet most of the time. Your hosts Kevin & Elaine come in frequently to work, mingle, play with the cat, do gardening, and chill. (we live across the main road, just 15 mins walk away).

When there’s no one around to co-work with you, be sure that Ginger the cat will loyally accompany you throughout the day.

We occasionally host social and learning events like Meetups and Workshops on weekends, selected weekdays and public holidays for our local community friends and like-minded individuals. These events will be held in our shared co-working space downstairs, which means it won't be available for work during those times, and it might get a little noisy. However, you can still enjoy peace and quiet in your room.

We post our public events here:

We occasionally organize outings, meals, and activities such as sports, sightseeing, and hotpot nights with our community. These are optional and dependent on everyone's availability. While there's always someone to chat with, we respect your need for privacy and provide a space where you can be undisturbed.

We would love for you to participate in the events and workshops we organize. To keep you in the loop, we will share our events calendar with you so that you can plan accordingly. Additionally, as a coliving guest, you are entitled to a discounted price for our workshops.

Kevin also runs woodworking workshops for adults at his own workshop venues. If you're interested to learn from him, check out his website for schedules to signup: https://www.kevinbuild.com/workshop/

Elaine runs intuitive painting workshops here at THP. Check out her sessions at www.elainewongart.com/iipp

As part of our coliving community, you can also run your creative workshops here during your stay.

Your hosts Kevin & Elaine are both in our 40’s, yet the people who walk through the door age ranges from 22 to 70’s, sometimes kids and even retirees. We believe no matter the age, nationality, culture, or beliefs, we can all learn to live, work, play and grow together. We value truthful, respectful and heart-centered connections, hence our little home always welcome conscious creative souls who are interested in stretching the boundaries of themselves to include trusting strangers.

Kevin is into woodworking, UX/UI designing, drumming, cycling, coffee, dogs, vegan lifestyle and entrepreneurship. Elaine loves art & intuitive painting, spirituality, human connections, personal growth, vegetarian food, swimming & cats. We both love daily long walks and meditations to ground ourselves after a hectic day.

We both aim to create & cultivate a parallel society in this world where human minds are not driven by mainstream narrative’s fear-based isolations, instead directed by our own freewill & freedom of choice to connect and commune. You are welcome to join our simple life activities as a family when you colive with us!

Coliving is an intentional community living concept for like-minded people to live, work, and play together. It is also defined as a new take on an old way of shared living which promotes a culture of connection and flourishing, a lifestyle in which individuals and the collective share resources and an intention of living sustainably and harmoniously with each other and the planet.

Coliving is for people who value a community alongside individuality. Residents unite around a common interest of wanting to learn and grow from the people they surround themselves with.

Coliving offers people the chance to get to know each other on a deeply personal level.

Many! To name a few:

They come to get inspiration. There’s nothing like The Hatchery Place, our uniquely authentic & unpretentious home setup, our love for meaningful conversations, our growth-oriented yet simple lifestyle, and the passion in pursuing our creative endeavors attract others who want to experience similar essence.

We are very small, very homey, and affordable, unlike other establishments out there who are big players in the market that are basically hostels or hotels, but branded themselves as "coliving". We stay true to our essence since day one. Our simple setup here - a home with a cat with a mini garden, almost liken to a ‘living meditation’ to those who also value minimalistic yet creative lifestyle.

Newcomers to the city who need a soft landing spot to get to know the neighborhood, the community of like-minded people, and wishing to familiarise themselves living like the locals. We offer our knowledge around the area and introduce our lifestyle concept to those who are interested to learn more.

Some have been to many other coliving homes around the world and are already familiar with the concept. Once they lived in a coliving before, they will always choose to live in coliving setups whenever they travel.

Some wanted to gift themselves a quiet get-away, a retreat from their own familiar living conditions, away from existing circle to start & explore a different way of life.

Then there are those who are curious to learn about coliving and wanting to give our flavour a try.

In the past years, we have hosted amazing people from all around the world: Spain, Poland, Netherlands, Germany, France, Australia, USA, Japan, Singapore, Vietnam, Estonia, Norway, HongKong, Ukraine, Portugal, S. Africa, Canada, UK, Lebanon, N.Zealand, Sweden, Zimbabwe, Brazil, Latvia – just to name a few!

Coliving together with other travelers & local creativepreneurs who cowork & colive here, you get to gift yourself this rare opportunity to gather ideas, refine skills, research, experiment, grow and produce new work, at the same time design a new lifestyle that you want. At The Hatchery Place, you can dream, incubate, hatch, and break free your creative ideas with the support of the community and space.

We ask all our coliving guests to help around the house to the upkeep & improvement of the shared facilities whenever possible. Contributions may include basic household up-keeping, help with opening the door for our coworkers, gardening, watering the plants or just simply feeding the cat. If you have specialist skills, maybe we can put them to good use to make Hatchery Place a better home and fun for the community!
