Stuff we’re digging 💫

The new Laco Hub in Lagos’s Chinicato area has the potential to be something very cool. With around 10,000 m2 of rentable space, its a huge project! The vision is to convert the former factory into a buzzing space of offices and studios, for creatives producing everything from surfboards, to podcasts, to kombucha to tiny houses (and more)!
We visited last week, and the founders Dave & Jimmy seem honest, transparent, well equipped with contacts, and open to ideas. So if you’re looking for space and want to be part of shaping something amazing, check them out. Web | google maps | On instagram
