We are nestled among rows of middle-class residential terrace house in the suburb USJ11 Subang Jaya, with little Ginger our adorable cat roaming freely inside the house. Kevin & Elaine both corporate quitters and growth-oriented creative souls who started The Hatchery Place in February 2016, at first to escape the cubicle world to build their passion careers, but now the space has evolved into an inspiring little community where traveling creatives share and exchange their skills, cultures and experiences with the locals.
With the amazing help of volunteers, The Hatchery Place has become not just a working space. It is now a platform which meets the requirements of traveling creative nomads and art makers, and expands their opportunities. In a mixture of relaxed suburb home living atmosphere and concentrated working environment, we create room between work and privacy in which innovation and creativity of travelers can fostered, as they cowork together with the local neighborhood creativepreneurs here.
During the day, the space is a shared coworking space and at night, turns into a shared coliving space. A cozy, fun, homey, and creative work space and heart-centered friendship incubator for our travelers, writers, digitalnomads, crafters, poets, makers, musicians, artists, artisans, yogis, designers, youtubers, vloggers, healers, vegans, cyclists, and anyone else interested in stretching the boundaries of themselves to include trusting strangers. In the weekends, workshops and events are run to cultivate a creative co-learning lifestyle in the community.
With our own home located just 15mins walk away from The Hatchery Place, Kevin & Elaine run, work and sometimes live in the space together with Ginger the coliving cat. We also host small art & craft events, workshops, meetup nights, healing circles, food and drink tastings, talks, poetry nights and more here. Regular activities we run here are drum circles, painting workshops, gardening workshops, woodworking workshops, creative meetups, & etc. Coffee/tea/cold drinks and snacks are sold at the mini snack bar. Coliving guests can also host their own workshops or coaching sessions here, or participate in our events at a discounted price.

I found Elaine to be passionate, creative, and willing to break boundaries in her artistic expression. Her artwork pulls you into her creative space of intrigue, emotions, and fascination.
I have an opportunity to work with Elaine when I hosted a sock doll-making workshop at The Hatchery Place in February 2020.
Elaine is professional, committed to providing convenience, comfort, and an amiable space for me and the students to learn sock doll making. I feel assured and comforted by her helpfulness and commitment to ensuring everything is in place during the workshop.
Once the MCO is over, I will surely host another sock doll-making workshop at The Hatchery Place once more.
The Hatchery is a very cosy yet functional safe space to interact. Space holders Elaine and Kevin are warm and have truly opened up their hearts and minds in providing such a much needed co-living and co-working sanctuary that not only visiting guests but the immediate community can tap in to.
This is just a lot more than a place to stay/work. It's the vision and passion of two local entrepreneurs that has shaped into, amongst others, a community of like-minded people and a space to pursue projects. At the moment of this writing I've been living here for 4 months and I've become really good friends with many community members. As a solo traveler/digital nomad, this place has provided me with the community I was hoping to find. I was prepared to stay only for a couple weeks if I didn't like it but turns out I did like it (I am planning to stay 2-4 more months).The space is a fully functional house, the kitchen is simple and small but it does the job, I cook most of the days simple yummy stuff.
I stayed 3 months at this place in 2018, and have lived primarily in Kuala Lumpur since. Kevin and Elaine have become dear friends, as they are to all guests who stay here, and over time this builds quite a community of people. the location is near everything, including many vegetarian restaurants, organic grocery stores, many convenience stores, and a quick grab to malls and supermarkets. This combination makes it a great starting location for commencing your life in Kuala Lumpur, like I have done over the years.
All of us, the parents including the kids who attended the woodworking workshop felt right at home here immediately.
