Still munching on those Christmas leftovers? 😄

The holiday feasts might be gone, but the memories of gathering and sharing meals remind us how fortunate we are to celebrate abundance together. ✨

We are suuuuper excited to step into another year and savor those December favourites all over again with you. Our doors reopen on January 6th, ready to serve the dishes you’ve been craving: Seared Tuna and King Oyster Mushrooms, Plantsa with Sausages, Pineapple and Strawberry Crumble, Tofu Bites with Wild Mushrooms, and of course — Steaks. 🤤

What one person discards, another transforms into art. 🦾

This soda can-turned-anthropod reflects creativity's power to find beauty in the overlooked. Purchased from a neighbor who crafted it with their hands and heart, it now adds a layer of ingenuity to our space! 🙌🏼 We love to celebrate stories like this — raw, unexpected, and brimming with possibility. ♻️

The holidays can bring a lot of emotions. Joy is ultimately expected, but that is not the case for everyone. Some experience emptiness and some carry the heaviness that comes with loss.

Wherever and however you are celebrating this season, we’d like to extend some Cabernet-Shiraz vibe to honour the many notes life offers us. Cheers to the sweetness, spice, intensity and mischief of being alive. A well-balanced life is a recurring pursuit and can be a wild loop! As this year draws to a close, may you meet a new beginning with a velvety finish. 🍷

Party planners turn our spaces into stages where stories come to life — transforming a simple venue into a Mafia hideout, a sophisticated gala, or an intimate soirée for a sober gathering. It's the little touches! The lights, the props, and some handwritten touches scattered here and there to add a human element to the scene (not to mention, branding 😉)

At the heart of it all are our members' and guests' unique visions coming to life and leaving an impression long after the party ends. ✨

It was more than just “tea” at the Mad Hatter Lounge or the exchange of goods at the community market. A meaningful gathering can take many forms, but it is always more than just a crowd; often, it’s an exchange of energy, reminding us of our inner journeys and wisdom that we can carry back with us.

This heartwarming blend took 30 years in the making, and here’s probably the reason why every pour feels like a hug:

In a family of coffee lovers and travellers, the late afternoon “Happy Coffee Time” became a daily ritual of just “feeling the warmth of and sipping coffee together.” They experimented countless times with countless beans from all of the places they visited, recrafting the formula until they found this brew. House guests would ask about the blend and end up bringing home 2 generations of tender, loving vibrations these beans carry.

Now, the same warmth to be found in the tradition of this family has found its way to our club. Be open and try it french-pressed, pulled as an espresso, or stirred with cacao to receive a hug in the form of hazelnut coffee.

It’s more than just about the perfect pour – serves elevated experiences in every glass, every show, and every corner where it discreetly stands in Poblacion, Makati. Exploring neat and inventive selections and infusions led us to its exclusive “detention room,” where vintage books and elusive bottles exude an understated charm. Whether shaken or stirred, the way culture and creativity live in every cocktail crafted here are officially tops on our list of inspirations for bar entrepreneurship (or perhaps, modern-day wizardry).

“And that’s what I want to tell the world. When you think you are limited, push those boundaries. Because it is through pushing those boundaries that you will see, "I have the power to just simply create a space for myself.” - @missmelahabijan Rhadem asks what it means to be “bakla” and how Miss Mela Habijan conquered and owned the word to be an empowering noun. A truly inspiring interview! #womenempowerment #transglobal #lgbtq

In celebration of International Women's Month, we would like to invite you for an interview at The Lounge, an online show that talks about transformative stories of people doing tremendous work not just for the communities but also for the country. This show is powered by The Astbury, the Philippines' pioneer private membership cowork club for 10 years. DOT Sec. Bernadette Romulo-Puyat inherited an agency bombarded with scandal then comes the Covid-19 Pandemic which severely hit the tourism sector. Now that her term is ending, what legacy will she leave? @bernsrp @aspaceph #TheLounge @tourism_phl

Backstory

ASPACE is the accidental pioneer of coworking in the Philippines. We needed a cool, collaborative, passion-inducing space to work as an antidote to cubicles, plastic plants, bland skyscrapers, and eye-watering amounts of small print on commercial leasing. So now we have ASPACE, and we’ve spent a decade hosting incredible events, supercharging rockstar entrepreneurs, and being imitated, copied, loved, and envied. Apparently we also started the coworking movement too.

But that’s not why we started ASPACE. We started it for us, and for people like us who don’t need an office, they just need to succeed at what they’ve started. We have a space for that. — MaMo, Founder #JointheHumans
