Fellow co-workers, I'm in the throws of opening a space and have been knocking around this group for a while now. I've looked at prospective buildings, done some community building and created a website for people to register their interest.
Recently, I was approached by a respected local design agency with a potential offer to share their existing office. It sounds like an interesting idea but I'm concerned that it might feel like we are just 'lodging' in their vacant desks, as opposed to creating and nurturing an independent movement where the core values are collaboration, openness, community, accessibility and sustainability. Has anyone here found themselves in a similar position and if so, were you able to find any middle ground? Am I being over protective of the co-working ethos? Maybe this is a good thing to be closely linked with a respected and long standing agency. Any thoughts on this would be very welcome.
