A place to experience everyday life in an optimistic future.

Set in the year 2033, Mason Studio, Goodee, along with various collaborators, co-create a place where the care for people and our planet comes before all else. We collectively empower communities to look at the future with excitement and joy. 

Includes a site-specific installation by Mason Studio, a Market Gallery featuring products promoting people, an indoor garden to rejuvenate the mind and body, a café playhouse for kids and adults, a hands-on workshop, a book exchange library, and a workspace for post-secondary students. 

Open House
Join us for family-friendly events on each Saturday of the DesignTO Festival from 10am-4pm. Come and experience activities full of exploration, learning and making. Assemble and take home your own green wall planter with Aaline (ages 9+), join children’s storytime with Mason Studio (ages 3+), grab a coffee from Propeller Coffee (pay-what-you-want) and make sure to bring a book with you to exchange for one from our extensive library!
