The House
We are nestled among rows of middle-class residential terrace house in the suburb USJ11 Subang Jaya. A gated and guarded residential community with 24 Hour surveillance.
Built in 1990's, this is a doubled-storey terrace house with 4 rooms and 3 bathrooms. We created a mini wooden patio decorated with our favourite plants so you can find a quiet breathing moment here when you feel bored indoors.
A tiny backyard for edible plants are also worked on, from time to time. You are welcome to lend your green hands to help them grow.
The Neighbourhood
Located in UEP Subang Jaya (USJ), this quiet neighborhood is a major affluent residential township situated at the southern part of Subang Jaya and was established in 1988.
Subang Jaya (commonly called “Subang” by locals) is a bustling suburb and a neatly self-contained hub of higher education institutions, eateries, malls and independent retail stores approximately 25km from Kuala Lumpur city centre. A number of great restaurants, hip cafes, spas, parks, gyms, popular local food courts, mamaks, 7Elevens, launderettes and shops are within walking distance from The Hatchery Place. Enjoy Subang like a local!
Getting Around
We are 40 minute drive from KLIA 1 & 2 airport. 15min drive from Subang Airport. 25km from Kuala Lumpur city center. The nearest LRT train (Taipan station) is 19 minutes walk from The Hatchery Place. GRAB e-hailing app is commonly used by everyone to get around here.
There are buses, elevated bus rapid transit (BRT), and public light-rail transit (LRT) trains serving around the township. RapidKL runs buses that connect Kuala Lumpur to and from the township.
Food
Meals are NOT included in your stay. You prepare your own meals throughout the stay. Malaysian eateries & restaurants are very convenient, cheap and nearby (walking distance). Groceries, wholefood and fruit stores are plenty around. Food delivery services (eg. GRABFOOD, FOODPANDA, etc) are abundant too. If you’d like to plan for meal deliver services, we can suggest you our preferred healthy / vegan / vegetarian options. Plenty of local snacks like banana fritters (goreng pisang), kuih & fresh coconuts within walking distance.
The Community
You have privacy in your own room. You may or may not be staying alone in the house, depending on the coliving schedule. At times, you’ll have the whole house to yourself, sometimes, all the rooms will be occupied by other coliving peeps.
Coliving together with other like-minded conscious creatives, 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 expect our guests to understand that we’re a community and only accept people who are willing to be a part of it.
Your Hosts
Your hosts Kevin & Elaine are both in our 40’s, yet the people who walk through the door age ranges from 20’s 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 projections, instead directed by our own freewill & freedom of choice. Kevin & Elaine are very hands-on hosts who integrate closely with the coliving community. We are in the house very regularly to tend to the coworkers, the community, the cat and garden, and plan events. You are welcome to join our simple life activities as a family when you colive with us!
Your Active Contribution
We ask all coliving guests to help around the house to the upkeep and improvement of the shared facilities whenever possible. Contribution may include basic household tasks, cleaning, gardening or caring the cat. If you have specialist skills, we can put them to good use.
