ETHOS
Stay Open was created to promote inter-human connection through democratized living spaces and social engagement. The environment requires co-creation by members and we will flow with the stream of our communities whenever possible. With that said, we consider four central philosophies non-negotiable:
Zero tolerance policy for any form of harassment or discrimination. Stay Open is a safe space for all humans and any breach of this will lead to immediate response and ejection. (No jerks allowed, thanks!)
Treat others with respect. Support others to flourish within the experience. The human experience can be hard, so let’s all help one another grow and prosper!
Protect others. Minimize risk by following COVID-19 protocols, respect quiet times, help keep the space clean and enjoyable. Be Kind! No Stealing! Golden rule…you get it!
Have Fun!
What to expect
Stay Open is an open-hearted, positive, creative space for living, working, playing, and connecting. Frank Gehry designed our spacious and stunning home, which is nestled directly on Venice Beach.
We wish to invite bright-hearted, wide-eyed, enthusiastic, and open individuals to create an unparalleled community with us. Our ETHOS and FAQs will give you a sense of who we are, the environment we are creating, and what we are looking for in our community members.
