About Maeve House
Maeve House is a modern clubhouse in South Austin designed for work, conversation, and community.
Members come to the House to settle in for the day, join clubs and gatherings, or simply spend time around people who enjoy thoughtful conversation and a welcoming atmosphere.
It’s a place where work and community naturally exist side by side.
Maeve House is located in South Austin near the intersection of Slaughter Lane and Manchaca Road.
Why It’s Called Maeve House
Maeve House is named after Maeve, Sierra and Adam’s Shih Tzu.
Maeve’s joyful personality helped transform their household into a more relaxed and connected little community of its own, bringing together two previously anxious rescue dogs and helping solidify their family.
In many ways, the spirit of Maeve House follows her lead — welcoming, social, and happiest when people gather together.
The Story Behind the House
The idea for Maeve House began when co-founder and artist Sierra Bailey was searching for a new studio space.
While she needed a place to work, what she realized she truly wanted was something more difficult to find — a sense of community. After decades of being self-employed, Sierra knew firsthand how isolating working alone could be.
At the same time, her husband Adam Fujawa was ready to shift his professional focus toward the parts of his previous work he loved most: hospitality and caring for a space where people gather.
Together they began imagining what it would look like to create a place in South Austin where people could work during the day, but also connect naturally with others around them.
Listening to the Community
As Sierra and Adam explored the idea, they spoke with dozens of people in the surrounding South Austin neighborhoods about how they worked and what they wished existed closer to home.
Three themes emerged again and again.
People wanted a space that felt warm and welcoming, not cold or corporate.
They wanted a third place where they could attend low-key gatherings and meet others nearby.
And they wanted something beautiful and thoughtfully designed that felt like an extension of their neighborhood.
Those conversations helped shape the vision for Maeve House.
Local Roots
Sierra and Adam live just a few miles away in the Shady Hollow neighborhood of South Austin.
Maeve House was created to be the kind of place they wanted in their own community — welcoming, creative, and designed for real connection.
The House is proudly locally owned and independent, built for the rhythm of South Austin life.
The Spirit of the House
Maeve House blends coworking, community, and hospitality in a setting that feels more like a beautifully lived-in home than a traditional workspace.
Members spend their time working at shared tables, gathering in cozy rooms, attending clubs and events, or simply enjoying conversation over coffee.
Every person who walks through the yellow door adds something to the House.
And that shared sense of belonging is what makes Maeve House special.
A Small Note About Dogs
Ironically, Maeve House is a dog-free House.
We obviously love them — the rooms are even named after our dogs — but many of us are grateful that we can spend a few focused hours working while our dogs stay happily at home.
