The Landing + Storybook Lane
Work nearby. Stay connected.

A workday that leaves room for family.

Some workdays do not fit neatly into traditional schedules. The Landing + Storybook Lane were created for the moments when professional life and family life overlap. Parents have a dedicated workspace designed for focus and productivity, while children have a nearby creative environment built around imagination, exploration, and play.

The LandingThe Landing
The Landing

A professional workspace designed with working parents in mind.

The Landing provides parents with a dedicated coworking environment where they can focus, collaborate, take calls, and make progress on the work that matters while remaining connected to their children. Designed as part of the WORKHQ experience, The Landing reflects our belief that professional spaces should adapt to real people and real lives.

Storybook Lane
Storybook Lane

Where imagination takes shape.

Storybook Lane is a dedicated creative space designed for children to read, create, explore, and play while their parent works nearby. Inspired by the idea that every person has a story being written, Storybook Lane gives children room to explore curiosity and imagination while being part of the WORKHQ community.

Space Relationship

Thoughtfully connected, intentionally separated.

The Landing and Storybook Lane were designed together to give parents proximity while maintaining a comfortable environment for both focused work and creative exploration. Storybook Lane is somewhat secluded from the primary coworking environment, with thoughtful design elements—including sound considerations—to create a comfortable experience for everyone.

The bigger picture

This Is Bigger Than Two Spaces.

The Landing + Storybook Lane represent the larger philosophy behind WORKHQ. We believe environments shape the way people work, connect, and create. Our future WORK campus will continue exploring how workspace, community, family support, and practical resources can exist closer together. The Landing + Storybook Lane are an early expression of that vision.

Storybook Lane at WORKHQ is a parent-present, unsupervised amenity. The broader future vision for dedicated family infrastructure at the future WORK campus is separate and still ahead.
