After a few false starts, Unspace has relocated to 342 Queen West. We’re above LuluLemon, a popular yoga and athletic-wear clothing retail store. We have a whole floor — 2500’ feet including a kitchen, den, fireplace, and a two-level deck. Twice as big as our previous space, if you’re keeping tabs.
At the beginning of the summer, we found a space that we thought might be perfect. It was spread over two floors, and had a walk-out balcony right on Queen Street. However, after finally deciding to move forward, we were informed that the space was not available. Crestfallen, we checked out a number of uninspired boxes in various office buildings in the area.
We almost didn’t bother to come see this space! I came over alone and took about five steps in before calling to get everyone else here. It just felt right, from the outset.
There’s lots of work ahead; painting, cabling, decorating, and the minutiae of getting a new space set up just so. We each have areas we’re most passionate about, whether it’s colours, lamps, the patio deck or the entry way. We’re going to take some photos at each stage and keep you posted on all of the progress.
