Lagori
Community
Space
Lagori’s community space is a place to co-work, spend time, learn, host, and be around others. It is open to individuals and small teams looking for a more thoughtful and grounded way of being in a workspace. This is not a typical co-working space. It is rooted in cooperative principles, held more collectively, run more transparently, and designed to grow through participation. Some people come here to focus. Some come for conversation. The space is on the first floor of a yellow house in Cooke Town, one of Bengaluru's quieter inner-city neighbourhoods.
Some come to work quietly alongside others, host something small, or simply shift their rhythm for the day. People use the space in different ways, and over time, those uses begin to shape what the space becomes.
People have met collaborators, started projects, found work, hosted small gatherings, tested early ideas, and built relationships that continue beyond the space. Some of this happens intentionally. Much of it happens through being around each other over time.
Lagori is an Index Node, part of a global network of independent, non-extractive spaces across different cities. As a member at Lagori, you are also connected to this wider network including Nodes in New York, Amsterdam, Ishinawa, Richmond, and others, with the possibility to spend time, work, or collaborate across locations.

As a member, you can,
Lagori values equality of unequals, recognising that access is not the same for everyone. We have a limited number of flexible memberships. Alongside monetary contributions, we are open to thinking about other ways of being part of and contributing to the space. If this feels relevant, write to us.
The space is also available for those who are not members. It can be used for workshops, small gatherings, team offsites, retreats, and other formats that benefit from a more intimate and grounded setting. Over time, the space has hosted conversations, teaching sessions, project sprints, and quiet group work. We keep this flexible. The aim is to make the space available for uses that align with how it is held and shared.
Alternatively, access the space through Free Fridays
Host an event
For more details about the space, setup and rates, read our Guide to hosting events at Lagori Collective.
The space is open to everyone on Fridays. You can drop in to work, read in the library, spend time, or simply get a feel for the space. Check our Instagram for weekly updates before visiting. We try to keep the space as accessible as possible, while still sustaining how it runs.
If you’d like to know more, here are some frequently asked questions:
-
Some of things you can do at the space are:
Work from the space regularly (or occasionally to keep things fresh)
Set up a small studio or team in a private room.
Run a workshop, meetup, reading group, or small gathering.
Use the space to develop, test, or share ideas.
Spend time, read, think, or simply work in the company of others.
-
The space is open to individuals and small teams from across different fields and practices. People here work in research, design, writing, technology, culture, education, law, and more.
What matters less than the category of work is how you approach it. The space works best for people who value a shared environment, can move between focus and exchange, and are open to being part of something held in common.
There is no single way to be here. Some people come regularly. Others drop in when they need a change of pace, a room of their own, or a different kind of working environment.
Over time, the character of the space is shaped by the people who spend time in it.
-
The space is designed to sustain itself, not to extract value.
Membership fees go towards running and maintaining the space. This includes rent, upkeep, shared resources, and the everyday work required to keep the space open and usable. Any surplus is reinvested back into the community. This could support improvements to the space, member-led initiatives, or new activities that emerge over time.
This is not a profit-driven coworking model. The aim is to keep the space financially stable while ensuring that any value generated circulates within the space rather than being taken out of it.
How this takes shape is not fully fixed. It continues to evolve with the people who are part of the space. The more the space is used, cared for, and shaped by those within it, the more it becomes a shared resource rather than simply a service.
-
The space is run collectively.
Key decisions around how it evolves are made with the people who are part of it. This includes how the space is used, what it hosts, and how shared resources are allocated over time.
We keep the finances of the space open. Members have visibility into how funds are used and how any surplus is reinvested.
There are structured and unstructured formats like townhalls, whatsapp groups and check-ins for members to participate, based on their capacities.
There is no fixed model for how this should look. The structure continues to evolve through practice, shaped by the needs, participation, and responsibility of those who use the space.

Lagori is an Index Node, part of a global network of independent, non-extractive spaces across different cities.
Each node is locally shaped, but connected through a shared approach to how space is run, how value circulates, and how communities are formed.
As a member at Lagori, you are also connected to this wider network. This includes spaces in New York, Amsterdam, Ishinawa, Richmond, and others, with the possibility to spend time, work, or collaborate across locations.
The network is loosely connected and continues to grow through practice.
