Our story

Where conversations continue.

Nairobi gets built in the hour after the event ends. This is your place for that hour.

The origin

Born at Hackhouse, Nairobi

Every Hackhouse night ended the same way. Numbers saved, promises made, and then everyone scattered.

The best part of those nights was never the agenda. It was the hour after, when the real questions came out and the right two people finally met. That hour kept getting cut short.

So we built the room where your hour doesn't get cut short. Your desk by day, your bar by night, in the same courtyard where your conversations start. Hackhouse begins them. The Yard keeps yours going.

The first of more to come.

The same courtyard you gather in. Work in it, drink in it, make it yours.

Day into night

Two rooms in one courtyard

By day

Pull up. Slow down.

Good seats, good light, a craft mocktail while you work.

By night

The night settles in.

The talk shouldn’t end when the event does.
