The Loom Club hopes to fill that gap between working from home and working from an office – yet keeping things light and social, with a sprinkling of organic fun, more like working from your living room with your friends than your typical co-working space. Indeed, the blend of those words – 'living room' – gave birth to its name, explains co-founder Han-Rui Chiew. His vision, together with his business partner Andres Mendoza, was to create a space that brought people together effortlessly; somewhere that is not too close to a workspace, but also not purely leisure; something that draws on the local community's energy and vibes, while allowing for some concentration time too.
It is a delicate balance. Enter Kasawoo, a young north London-based architecture studio headed by Kyriaki Kasabalis and Darius Woo, who worked with the Loom Club founders to find the right architectural expression for it.
