Founded in 2021, la vida buena residency is an Oakland based design and creative residency supporting the importance of creative work and its impact on society. We offer space, time and programs for reflection and creation. 


We envision a place curated with the headspace to reflect as well as the inspiration to create. 


We are made up of artists, architects, chefs, designers, writers, curators or simply people looking to be inspired. If you view creative thought, practice and cross cultural communication as an integral part of growth–la vida buena is for you.
