Arrayah is a place where you can just do things.
it’s a bunch of humans
who move into the same neighbourhood,
live together,
build things they’re obsessed with,
and celebrate the joy of real, human connection.

okay okay okay,
but what does that really mean?

——

let’s take it from the top.
humans didn’t evolve in isolation.
we started in bands
small groups of 20–50, hunting,
surviving, building together.

then came villages
places where we raised kids side by side,
shared rituals,
and built the world, shoulder-to-shoulder.

now?
we live in cities.
massive labor markets.
places we move to not for people, but for opportunity.
but something got lost in translation.

——

sooo there’s this guy — Robin Dunbar.
he’s an anthropologist who studied human social networks.
he found that we function best in layers of connection:

5 loved ones
15 close friends
50 good friends
150 meaningful relationships

beyond that, it gets fuzzy.
modern cities break this structure.

——-

so what if we created a new kind of space?
a pocket of Australia
where people lived together for a month.
where neighbours aren’t just neighbours —

they are
launching startups,
painting murals,
prototyping wild ideas.

——

we’re not trying to recreate San Francisco.
the edge of SF was never just capital or talent.

it is energy.
it is momentum.

it is that feeling of:
“You can just do things.”

and the wild thing is —
that ethos?
It’s portable.
you can drop it anywhere in the world.
because i believe that
talent is evenly distributed.

places like Canva, Atlassian, and Linktree didn’t come from Silicon Valley.
they were built here — in Australia.

——

Arrayah is a living, breathing prototype
a neighbourhood of humans.
living together.
creating together.
sharing meals, code, paint, and midnight walks.

it’s a space where serendipity is built in,
and execution is a default setting.

come join this movement and
create in the same postcode

——

our common values are high agency, intensity, ambition and kindness.
we believe if we take better care of the people creating,
we'll make our world more beautiful and vibrant than ever.

much love,
