女士工作室的起源
女士工作室的起源可以追溯到WoHK的巨大成功。自2021年夏季推出以來,這個社群從一個小型社交圈子發展成為一個擁有超過10,000名成員的繁榮社群。最初的WhatsApp群組已演變為一個包含多樣化興趣的地方。聊天內容包括創業、育兒等等。
Sarah Vee 希望營造一個空間,讓社群人員有集中地。因此,女士工作室應運而生,成為一個助長協作、成長和真正人際交往的地方。
Genesis of The Women’s Lounge
The inception of The Women’s Lounge traces back to the resounding success of WoHK, which has grown from a modest social circle to a thriving community of over 10,000 members since its launch in Summer 2021. What began as a WhatsApp group has evolved into an invaluable resource encompassing diverse interests such as entrepreneurship, grief support, parenting, and more.
Sarah Vee envisioned a tangible space where these digital connections could flourish. Thus, The Women’s Lounge was born—a sanctuary for collaboration, growth, and genuine human connection.

賦予力量的場所
女士工作室不僅僅是一個共同工作的空間。以其熱情好客的氛圍和周到的設計為特色,它更是一個宣傳社會健康的地方。訪客會在鏡子上看到激勵人心的信息,例如“美麗始於你決定做自己的那一刻。” 擁有無限量咖啡供應,旁邊放置著衛生棉和“請勿打擾”標誌,這地方象徵著對個人界限的尊重。
女士休息室的核心理念是致力於培養一種賦權和尊重的文化。鼓勵成員設定界限,進行有意義的對話,同時遵守嚴格的“禁止八卦”政策。
A Space for Empowerment
More than just a co-working space, The Women’s Lounge embodies a philosophy of social wellness, encapsulated by its welcoming ambiance and thoughtful design. Visitors are greeted by an inspiring message etched on a mirror: "Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself." Coffee flows freely alongside tampons and "DND" tokens, symbolizing respect for personal boundaries.
Central to The Lounge's ethos is its commitment to fostering a culture of empowerment and respect. Members are encouraged to set boundaries and engage in meaningful dialogue while adhering to a strict "No-gossip" policy.
豐富活動安排
女士工作室的活動安排會根據日常生活的節奏而提供多樣化的活動和事件。從專注工作的“獨處時間”到熱烈對話的“熱鬧時間”,每一刻都是成長和交流的機會。
晚上則有各種主題活動,包括商業社交、遊戲之夜和工作坊。當週末來臨時,女士工作室會向合作夥伴、子女、家庭幫傭和移民工人開放,實現對包容性和社區賦權的承諾。

Dynamic Programming
Structured around the rhythms of daily life, The Women’s Lounge offers a dynamic array of activities and events. From focused work sessions during "Solitude Hours" to lively conversations during "Buzz Hours," each moment is an opportunity for growth and connection.
The evenings come alive with themed events ranging from business networking to games nights and workshops. As the weekend beckons, The Lounge opens its doors to partners, children, helpers, and migrant workers—a testament to its commitment to inclusivity and community empowerment.
女性為女性而設計
由WoHK成員Amy Butler設計,室內空間成為合作與創意的明證。整潔的線條、自然光線和中性色調營造出一個邀請合作和放鬆的背景。展示區展示了成員的產品,而私人會議室和屋頂露台則提供了充足的空間供反思和交流。

Thoughtful Design
The physical space itself is a testament to collaboration and creativity, designed by WoHK member Amy Butler. Clean lines, natural light, and neutral hues create an inviting backdrop for collaboration and relaxation. An exhibition area showcases member products, while private meeting rooms and a rooftop terrace provide ample space for reflection and connection.
