Partner
with us.

Elo House is a members’ space in Campo de Ourique — a village rather than a service, where the favours go both ways. If you have something the House should know about, we’d like to hear it.

You bring the supper, the talk, the workshop, the gathering. We bring the room.

Host something in the House, run a series with us, or bring us a local service the community should know about — childcare, wellness, the practical things that make a week work. Below are the rooms, what they hold and what comes as standard. Every arrangement is agreed in conversation; tell us what you have in mind and we’ll come back to you personally.

The Studio

A long, hand-painted room with slate plaster walls. Brush-strokes still visible. Wide warm-wood underfoot. Edison bulbs hanging at varying heights from black track. The bones are intentional; the room is waiting for what you bring.

Walls: Hand-finished slate plaster: moody, gallery-grade, art-ready
Floor: Wide-plank warm oak
Ceiling: Industrial: black track, exposed conduit, Edison pendants on dimmers
Capacity: 16 at a long table · 12 yoga mats · 25 standing · 10 workshop stations
Furniture: Two long trestle tables (8 seats each when you seat people at the ends), low green-grey sofa, side seating
Through-room: Connects via the green door to the wider house

Four ways to host the Studio

The same room, dressed four ways. Most people arrive with one of these in mind.

The Studio set for a supper club: a long trestle table down the room's spine, candles and dried flowers along the centre, large artworks on the slate plaster walls.

The Supper Club

A long table down the room’s spine. Sixteen seats. Edison bulbs as the only ambient light, candles down the centre, linen runners, your menu. Operators bring the chef and the guest list. We bring the room set, the glassware, the rhythm of the night.

The Studio set as a pop-up: trestle tables laid with ceramics and jewellery, framed prints hung salon-style on the slate wall, Edison bulbs overhead.

Pop-ups

The trestle tables become curated retail. The walls become gallery for your hero pieces. Jewellery launches, perfume tastings, ceramicists selling the work they made in residency, vintage edits, book launches. The slate wall makes everything you put against it look more expensive than it is.

The Studio set for a ceramics workshop: unfired pots and folded linen cloths laid out in stations along the trestle workbenches.

Workshops: ceramics & beyond

The trestle tables are workbenches. The wood floor is hardy. Wheel-throwing, hand-building, glazing, printmaking, life drawing, perfume blending, bookbinding. Ten stations comfortably: intimate enough to feel like apprenticeship, big enough to be a paid class.

The Studio set for movement: mats laid in rows across the oak floor, candles along the walls and Edison bulbs dimmed overhead.

Yoga & movement

Trestles to the walls. Mats laid in three rows across the wood floor. Edison bulbs and candle floor lights for evening flows; clean morning light for daytime practice. Twelve mats with room to breathe: yoga, pilates, breathwork, sound baths, slow movement.

The Amphitheatre

A horseshoe of tan velvet, wrapped around the room. Sage textured-plaster walls. Daylight from above the seats. A mounted screen with full TV and sound, ready for a deck or a film. The room holds you in a circle: every seat sees every face.

The mounted screen in the Amphitheatre, above the velvet seating, beside the glazed door through to the rest of the house.

Seated in the round · the mounted screen and sound

For: Talks, intimate workshops, knowledge-sharing sessions, panel conversations, member-led teach-ins, film evenings, podcast recordings, small launches
Capacity: 10–12 people, seated in the round
Equipment: Mounted screen with full TV and sound; audiovisual equipment included

The Forum & Salon

The heart of the house. Geometric parquet underfoot, iron-framed industrial windows out to Campo de Ourique, textured sage plaster walls. Two big tables for the gathering, an intimate couch-and-leather-chair lounge for the slower conversation. Daylight all day.

The Forum: a long wooden table with leather chairs, the drinks and coffee bench behind it, sage plaster walls and an arched mirror.

The Salon: a second wooden table set with chairs, framed by iron-framed industrial glazing, with artwork on the sage wall.

Two tables, the kitchenette bench and the industrial glazing

For: Board games and trivia evenings, long-table gatherings, book launches, hosted dinners with a fireside lounge, casual brunches, working salons, slow-evening drinks
Capacity: Two tables seating 6–8 people; the lounge seats an additional 4

How it works

We respond personally to every enquiry. Tell us what you want to host, who you’d host it for, and when — and we’ll talk.

Tell us what you have in mind. The room (or whole house) you picture, your date and start time, expected numbers, and a line on what you’re hosting.
We’ll confirm availability — and for weekend whole-house sessions, hold your date while we talk.
We’ll agree the shape of it together — what you bring, what we bring, how we programme and promote it, and how it works for both sides.
Confirm, and the room is yours. You bring the supper, the talk, the workshop, the gathering — we’ll have the room ready.
