Meetups Hostel

Meetups Hostel, investor preview

A hostel builtfor meeting people.

Modular container stays on a lakeside hill, designed so strangers become friends. This is the flagship concept.

Talk to the foundersDrag to turn the hill

The idea

Most hostels sell a bed.

We design the whole hill around meeting people.

Every path passes the café. Every evening ends at the fire.

One hill, laid out for saying hello.

1 of 6

Arrival

Up the stone steps from the car park to reception. The first hello happens on the deck, not behind a desk.

A day at the lake

1:00 pm right now at the hostel

Someone is always up for a game on the sand court.

Drag the sun. Watch the hill change.

Three ways to stay. One community outside the door.

How Meetups is built

Modular today. More destinations tomorrow.

One repeatable design, built in modules, so a new horizon can open without starting from scratch.

Concept film · install
  1. Concept: the hillside graded into terraces with stone walls and footings, before any modules arrive.

    Prepare the site

    Terraces, retaining walls and services, shaped to the slope rather than flattening it.

  2. Concept: workers fitting glazing and timber interiors to container modules in a workshop.

    Fabricate the modules

    Container units are built and fitted off-site while the ground works happen.

  3. Concept: a wrapped container module on a flatbed truck on a winding lakeside road.

    Transport

    Finished modules travel to the site ready to place.

  4. Concept: a crane lowering a container module onto its footings while the crew guides it.

    Install

    Each module is craned onto its footing on the terrace.

  5. Concept: a technician connecting water and power lines at the base of an installed module.

    Connect services

    Power, water and drainage join the site network.

  6. Concept: the finished container suite interior opening onto its lake deck.

    Fit out and brand

    Decks, screens, planting and the shared spaces come together.

  7. Concept: the first travellers walking up the arrival path to reception.

    Open the doors

    Same design, repeatable for the next destination.

Come for the place. Stay for the people.

Solo travellers, friends on a trip, remote workers staying a few weeks. And a husky who knows everyone at the fire.

Concept: a shared dinner at the long table under the pergola.
Concept: an afternoon volleyball game on the sand court above the lake.
Concept: a small acoustic set on the lawn under string lights.
Concept: the glazed cowork container with long timber desks.
Concept: travellers with daypacks at a ridge viewpoint.
Concept: the bonfire circle at night with travellers gathered round.
Concept: the Meetups husky resting on a deck above the lake.

One design. Seven horizons.

The lakeside flagship proves the model. The same modular design then travels to mountains, beaches, forests and cities.
