Proposal for Franklin Street
A work, hospitality and events business built around community.

What Liminal is
One business with three connected parts.
Liminal is one business with three connected parts: hospitality, workspace and events. The café will serve high-quality coffee and light snacks and act as the public entrance to the wider venue. The workspace will provide approximately 30 desks for Veriteer, founders, affiliate businesses and visiting teams. The events space will host up to 50 people for talks, networking, workshops, launches, artistic installations and immersive experiences. AI will be the focus of the work, exhibitions and events taking place in the building. It will not simply be a theme applied to an ordinary café.
What we propose
Three connected strands

Approximately 30 desks, with meeting and project space for Veriteer, founders and businesses.
