Two/fiftyseven is a radical, community-powered space in Pōneke, Aotearoa, designed for people to work, create, and connect in ways that support justice, sustainability, and collective wellbeing. We believe space should be accessible, inclusive, and driven by care — not profit.

The project began in 2019, when a small group of friends imagined a new kind of space: one shaped by collaboration, creativity and social good. They found Level 2, 57 Willis Street, and carefully transformed it — dismantling, reusing and rebuilding with intention. With materials are salvaged and reused, the walls hold carvings of collective dreams by artists, and a mural by Dreamgirls Art Collective welcomes all who enter.

Since opening in 2021, two/fiftyseven has hosted thousands of people across co-working, meetings, events, gigs, and community organising. We offer flexible memberships with desks, meeting space, mental health support and shared resources. Our venue hire model helps fund free space for those doing vital social or environmental work. The space is designed to be inclusive: with flat access, non-gendered bathrooms, accessibility-priority desks, and quiet zones. We’re also climate positive — offsetting more than we emit — and operate transparently, using income to support wider community impact.

At its heart, two/fiftyseven is more than a workspace. It’s a place of care, creativity and connection — built to support people and projects working toward a better future. Together, we’re showing how space itself can be a tool for change.
