What is Presence House?
Presence House is a physical third place—neither home nor office—where architecture encourages presence and technology stays intentional.
A space designed for real human connection.
At Presence House, we believe in the quiet power of being together—intentional technology, calm social rhythm, and the warmth of a shared room.

In an age of hyper-connectivity, we’ve never felt more isolated. Presence House is a return to the room we’re actually in.
Frequently Asked Questions
A clear look at how Presence House works, who it is for, and why the digital layer stays intentionally minimal.
What is Presence House, exactly?
Presence House is a modern third place: a physical social club designed for calm, meaningful connection. Think boutique café energy, library focus, and community club warmth under one roof.
Is Presence House anti-phone or anti-technology?
No. We are not anti-phone. We use technology intentionally. Phones are welcome for practical moments, but our spaces and activities are designed to prioritize attention, conversation, and presence.
What kinds of things happen inside the house?
Members can join silent reading hours, open conversation tables, community dinners, deep work sessions, analog creative hours, and themed social gatherings with light structure and a warm host culture.
How does the companion app fit in?
The app is intentionally minimal. It helps with check-in, activity selection, and room awareness—then gets out of the way. The app exists to help you return to the room.
What is the fundraising campaign for?
The current campaign funds architectural design, buildout, furnishings, and launch operations for the first Presence House location. Current campaign goal: $250,000.
