KWENCH - Coworking & Culture Club

I've been to many co-working spaces in Victoria and also overseas. Save your time and go here.

This is the kind of place where local progressives feel right at home. It's the kind of place where non-progressives keep their heads down or don't go at all. Nice architecture.

EDIT: (Thanks for your reply below. Please do reach out. I'm basically jealous I don't get to join and am currently sitting in the most corproate of enviornments while your great members get to connect and have a positive experience) Obviously a dynamic space with great leadership. I had a wonderful tour and the space looks incredible. Hence my 5 stars. Nothing but support. But unfortunately, like many great coworking spaces in BC, there is unfair policies to people that need to use phones in the workspace. Please consider being inclusive to those industries where jumping into a phone booth is unfeasible. Not criticising but these policies are usually a way to funnel people into private offices. I know there will be comments relating to protecting a peacful environment which I'm totally onboard with. I have been to coworking spaces in Buenos AIres, Sydney Australia, Patagonia, East Vancouver and also in Victoria that have a lobby area where people relax, chat, make coffee and have relaxed informal meetings. It's never an issue. Please consider changing this policy. It's done elsewhere in the world, why not like those places. (I have heard places say...it gets too loud..... One way conversations are distracting. etc.... Yet it wroks out well in other businesses) And just to re-iterate: This isn't a criticism. I just feel excluded because I need to talk on the phone in my job which in sales, real estate, recruitment is a normal daily task. Only saying this message because I want to contribute, invest and participate in your great community and the no talking policy always surprises people in other parts of the world. That you can talk, on the phone, at work...unless you unplug your laptop, walk over to a busy pod which is taken, scramble to figure something out...40 times a day And I'm gutted only because you are obviously a great community with a dynamic business. It just excludes certain sectors unnecessarily Cue: Noise related reply to this message ( as mentioned, works well in other places in thr world).

Oh. My. God. For such a gigantic space, they’ve put thought into EVERY single detail. Every common area, every chair, every table, every hallway, and even every washroom has been meticulously designed. You can tell an incredible amount of care went into creating a space that’s both beautiful and genuinely functional. I’ve been to a lot of coworking spaces (and helped run a few), nothing else compares. KWENCH has set a completely different standard. Every other coworking space pales in comparison. Just go. You won’t regret it.
