About Argil

Why Argil.

I started Argil because I couldn’t find a place in Bali where I could get a full day of work done.

When I moved here, I assumed working remotely would be easy. It wasn’t. Cafés got loud. The Wi‑Fi dropped mid‑call. The coworking spaces I tried were beautiful, but they were built more around pools and events than around work.

So I built Argil around the work. There are quiet areas for when you need to focus, and phone booths and meeting rooms for calls. The chairs are ergonomic and the desks adjust to standing, because days here can be long. The internet is fast, and we’ve built in as much backup as we can, so we’re ready for the worst.

Argil is a coworking space in Pererenan, right next to Canggu. It’s for people who’ve made Bali their base, whether that’s for three months or three years. It’s somewhere to settle into a routine, keep it, and come back to whenever you’re here.

argil

noun

Potter's clay.
Soft enough to shape,
firm enough to hold.

It's where our name comes from, and how we think about good work. It takes patience, pressure and time.

Good work takes time.

How we think.

Three things shape every decision we make about the space.

1

The work comes first

Argil is built around concentration. A quiet Open Area, Hush for silence, and phone booths so calls never land at the next desk.

The room shapes the work

Ergonomic chairs, reliable internet and air conditioning. Long days should feel steady, not something to get through.

Community at a calm volume

You'll be working alongside people who take their work seriously. Anything we add around that should help the work, not compete with it.
