Coworking Details
Coworking at Cypraea means sharing workspaces with care.
In the name of community, we move through our work with intention, look out for those around us, and hold space for one another to focus, create, and work… all inside a steady, grounded environment.
Caring for the Space
1
Please keep workspaces shared-friendly. This is a space we all use together, whether working on a laptop or art project, so we ask that you keep your setup light.
2
Please keep phone calls quiet and respectful of those working around you. Please use headphones (no speakerphone) or step outside when needed.
3
Please tidy up after yourself, including any art materials, mugs, or surfaces you've used. In good community spirit, please leave your space the way you’d like to find it.
4
Don't leave personal belongings unattended overnight. We often have workshops and gatherings in the evenings, so we can’t offer secure storage of your items.
5
Cypraea is a shared workspace, and we want to keep tables and surfaces clear for creative projects as much as for laptops. We ask that you save full meals for outside the studio so we can protect the space (and the art supplies!) for everyone using it. Light snacks are always welcome, and we'll often have some on hand — just keep your setup easy to clean up after.
Full terms and conditions is provided during the membership sign-up process.
The Details
How do monthly Coworking Studio Memberships work?Coworking Studio Memberships renew each month automatically on your original sign-up date. No need to rebook or reapply; your spot simply continues until you pause, upgrade, or cancel your membership.
Depending on the Membership tier, you receive a number of Day Passes per month that you are able to book in our schedule.
You can upgrade your Membership tier at any time. We're also happy to let you pause for 1 month out of each 12-month calendar year at no additional fee. Any more than that, there’s a small freeze rate to hold your spot against our waitlist.
You can cancel a Membership at least 1 week before your next billing cycle starts. If we are notified less than one week before your billing cycle, your membership will end the following month.
Are there cancellation fees or no-show fees for Day Passes?Member Day Passes can be re-scheduled or cancelled up to 2 hours before the start of the Day Pass. If it is not rescheduled within the 2-hour grace period, or is a no-show, the Day Pass is forfeited and deducted from your Membership. We don’t charge any additional fees.
Non-member Day Passes are limited daily in an effort to keep the space intentional and comfortable, and are non-refundable for that reason. However, you are able to reschedule to another day if you do so at least 2 hours prior to the start of your Day Pass. If it is not rescheduled within the 2-hour grace period, or is a no-show, the Day Pass is forfeited. We don’t charge any additional fees.
How far ahead can I book coworking Day Passes?There may be days when we reach coworking capacity, as Cypraea is a cozy, intimate space, so we encourage you to book your Day Passes ahead of time when possible.
Members are able to book up to 14 days in advance, while our non-member Day Passes are bookable up to 7 days in advance. The booking platform, Acuity, offers a waitlist option for days as well.
