Lots of clothing brands have taken to sponsoring athletes to get their brand name out there, but Quiksilver’s got a different take on the same idea.

SiteLA is a “communal work and exhibition space” in Silver Lake, California, where six women act as “visionaries in residence” and work on varying projects during a year-long stay in the house.

The space is in a corner storefront with no clothing or surf gear anywhere in sight. Instead, the company turned the 1,800-square-foot space into a combined studio, gallery, and performance site.

The women living there have personal passions that echo the Quiksilver spirit: progressive, creative, and confident. Beth Jones, a fashion blogger and entrepreneur; Sarah Anderson, an artist and performer, Pilar Diaz, a bilingual singer-songwriter, Dorothy Le, a bicycling activist, Jesse Rodato, an architect-in-training and interior designer; and Khrystyne Zorian, a car designer.

Each woman has her own project that she’s working on while staying in the house, and public events are also held there.
