27岁创始人Luca Yang将悉尼Newtown国王街上2017年关闭的Gould's Books书店旧址改造成O3 Space study cafe，于7月中旬正式开业[1]。Yang花费五个月时间整理、清洁并处理了遗留在书店内的10000本旧书[1]。新空间融合了原书店的历史元素与Studio Ghibli风格装饰，营造出魔幻氛围，吸引年轻用户在此学习和社交[1]。
O3 Space采用付费会员制运营模式，用户可选择免费享受每周3小时使用权，或订阅$10、$20或$50的周套餐[1]。这家study cafe的核心客户为30岁以下的Z世代[1]。悉尼市政府副市长Jess Miller支持了这一建筑改造项目[1]。
O3 Space, a new study cafe, has opened in Newtown at the former site of Gould's Books on King Street, which closed in 2017 [1]. The venue blends the building's literary heritage with Studio Ghibli-inspired design elements, creating what founder Luca Yang, 27, describes as an atmosphere combining magical whimsy with creative study spaces [1]. The transformation required five months of work to sort, clean, and process approximately 10,000 legacy books left behind at the location [1].
The cafe operates on a membership model designed to appeal to Generation Z users under 30 years old [1]. Members can access the space for free for up to three hours per week, or opt for weekly subscriptions priced at $10, $20, or $50 [1]. O3 Space already operates locations in Auckland and Melbourne in addition to the Sydney flagship [1]. Jess Miller, deputy mayor of the City of Sydney, has supported the building's renovation project [1]. The Newtown location launched in mid-July 2024 [1].
