04 — Who We Are

An intentional house for people who take their craft seriously.

Purplerain is a curated residency where twelve makers share a single roof for ninety days. The rent is paid collectively. The space, the meals, and the rhythm are shared. The work, always, is your own.

We believe the most interesting work happens in proximity to other people doing interesting things. So we built a house designed for it — long tables, quiet studios, soft mornings, and evenings that go long.

I came to finish a book. I left with three new friends, a publisher, and a finished book.

The house works like a great studio — quiet when you need it, alive when you don't.
