🤝 A solution to all work and no play

This image showcases a spacious, modern, and well-lit workspace or communal area with a minimalist design. The room has high, slanted ceilings with exposed white beams and ductwork, adorned with multiple spotlights for ample lighting.

At the center, there is a long blue table with multiple wooden chairs that have a unique, curved design. The table is equipped with some stationery, including markers, paper, and other small objects.

The flooring consists of light wooden planks, complementing the natural tones of the furniture. In the background, there is a modular wooden shelving unit with decorative elements such as vases and sculptures. The room also features additional tables and seating areas, indicating a multifunctional space.

Large windows on one side allow natural light to enter, and there are plants in the corner, adding a touch of greenery.

There’s a new kid on the block — the Kinry Club is now open on Coleman Boulevard. Picture this: a space where you can get work done while having support for the kiddos. This new, mother-owned concept is a membership-based family social club for work, play, and community.
This image depicts a stylish indoor space combining a café-style seating area with a children's play structure. On the left, a long brown leather banquette runs along a dark teal wall, paired with round marble-topped tables and modern table lamps. Above the seating, two abstract blue-toned paintings add an artistic touch. The floor features a geometric terracotta-colored pattern.

On the right, a wooden play structure designed for children includes a small climbing wall, a rope bridge, and enclosed play spaces, blending natural wood tones with soft, neutral fabrics. A few decorative dots adorn the wall near the play area, adding a playful element. A green plant in the corner enhances the cozy ambiance.

There are 2,000 sqft of space for open play.

The 4,000-sqft club is a cross between your living room, a daycare, and your favorite neighborhood coffee shop. Some of the space’s founding members are calling it “the modern village and community.” Here’s what’s offered:
  • Coworking space
  • Cafe
  • Care for the kiddos
  • Community events
  • Programming
  • A virtual care concierge team
This image showcases a spacious, stylish lounge with a mix of modern and cozy elements. The focal point is a large, curved green velvet sofa paired with round ottomans and a white coffee table, all set atop a striped area rug. Two tan leather armchairs with wooden frames add warmth to the seating arrangement.

To the right, a white brick fireplace is decorated with books, artwork, and a vase. The high, vaulted ceiling features white paneling, exposed ductwork, and track lighting. Large garage-style glass doors allow natural light to flood the space.

In the background, a play area with wooden structures, a small café-style counter, and additional seating can be seen, making the space family-friendly.

The Kinry Club team hopes the space will help build a sense of community for families.

Do you have any local farmer markets you like best?
I actually have a favorite farmer. His name is Casey Costa, and he owns Dogpatch Farmstead. We work very closely with him and try to utilize as much of his produce as possible. The passion and care that he puts into his produce show.
