Claim your "manspace"

Custom-built manspaces are far more than caves with couches or beer cans. From a backyard bowling alley to a Japanese tea house inside a suburban garage, each space reflects deep personal interests and craftsmanship. Some serve as workshops or training grounds, others as private museums or peaceful retreats. These spaces show how claiming a dedicated place can fuel creativity, pride, and self-understanding.
