Where Work Feels Like Living

Revelance’s creative hub blends office, lifestyle and community under one roof.

There are coworking spaces, and then there’s Revelance.

Walk through the glass doors of this Mason destination and you immediately know it’s something different. You’ll find offices, conference rooms and the amenities of a modern professional hub, but take a few more steps and the surprises unfold. A golf simulator where a board meeting might turn into a back nine, a taproom where Sonder Brewing pours local craft favorites and a robotic barista station capable of etching your portrait into your latte foam.

In this season of gratitude, the team at Revelance is feeling thankful—for their first year of community and creating a space where people can thrive.

“This place is a hidden gem,” explains Kristina Forester, director of operations. “You walk in expecting a standard office environment, but then you see everything we’ve built here. It’s designed to be inspiring and intentional—work and play, seamlessly connected.”

Revelance, founded by Patrick Malloy and Joe Clark, opened its doors a year ago with a bold idea: that work doesn’t have to feel like work. While many coworking spaces lean into sleek minimalism, Revelance embraces personality and possibility.

“Our spaces are built for both business and celebration,” shares Chad Blount, director of sales. “One day we’ll host a corporate strategy session, and the next it’s a graduation party or a milestone birthday. That blend is what makes Revelance unique.”

It’s a philosophy that comes through in every corner. Private meeting rooms are polished and professional, designed to help teams focus. The communal workspace upstairs is large and comfortable, offering flexibility for both quiet productivity and casual conversation. After a busy day, members can wander downstairs where the inviting Sonder Brewing taproom turns a typical networking event into something more memorable.

“You might come in for a morning of heads-down work, and by the afternoon, you’re sharing coffee with someone who becomes a client, a mentor or a new friend. That’s the magic of the space,” Kristina adds. 

Revelance is all about options. Some companies rent meeting rooms weekly without committing to a full membership. Others dive all in, enjoying perks like simulator hours, community experiences and event discounts. Entrepreneurs use the open spaces as a launchpad, while established businesses host client luncheons, training sessions or staff retreats.

“The beauty is that it works for everyone,” Chad says. “We see startups, Fortune 500 teams and parents planning a graduation party. Revelance flexes with your needs.”

This adaptability is especially appealing in a world where hybrid work has blurred the lines between office and home. For many, Revelance becomes that “third place”—not the kitchen table, not the corporate office, but a creative in-between where productivity and enjoyment coexist.“It’s all about that mix,” Kristina emphasizes. “When you bring the professional, the playful and the innovative under one roof, you get a space that feels alive.”

The past year has exceeded expectations for Revelance. “Our first year has truly been better than we could have imagined,” Kristina explains. “We’ve built so many great partnerships and relationships within the community, and those connections have really helped us grow and reach more people. We are incredibly thankful for the support of our members, partners, and the entire community. From the very beginning, the responses we’ve received have been overwhelming in the best way.”

That gratitude is echoed by members themselves. “This is a completely different vibe than other coworking locations. It feels like a private club with amenities stretching far beyond simply a place to work,” says member David Powell. “My clients love it when I host meetings here. From the thoughtful boardrooms to the golf simulator and bourbon lounge, it’s a great atmosphere!”

As Revelance celebrates its first anniversary, it continues to evolve. In the year ahead, members can look forward to expanded opportunities to connect through events and open community activities. A podcast studio is on the horizon, giving members and local partners a place to create and share their stories. Plans are also underway for an expanded outdoor space, designed to host even more gatherings.

With the holiday season fast approaching, Revelance is ready to welcome groups for celebrations. Several spaces are available to rent for holiday parties, and they are currently offering 15% off any event two hours or longer. For those interested in trying coworking, new members can enjoy their first month free.

At its heart, Revelance is about more than desks, screens and Wi-Fi. It’s about people. The ones who walk in for a meeting and walk out with a new connection. In Mason, the future of work looks a lot like community—thoughtfully designed, full of possibility and something to be thankful for.

Kristina invites those interested in Revelance to stop by and see it for themselves anytime Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. They offer free day passes and trial options so anyone can experience the space firsthand before committing. RevelanceOh.com.
