There's a good chance that you've heard me say (read: rant) something like "coworking isn't about the desks".
Well, Indy Hall is working on a new project to really emphasize that we're thinking far beyond the desks, with an urban cohousing project that is the first step towards an entire Indy Hall-concepted Urban Village. http://village.indyhall.org I'm sure Raines is going to be excited to hear about our endeavors in cohousing. He's about to become one of our trusted advisors, even though he doesn't know it yet ;) To be clear - we're not building a live-work space. We're taking the best lessons we've learned in making our version of the best place to work and applying them to making our version of the best place to live. It's exciting, insane, and awesome to be learning so much so quickly again. Our development partners, http://postgreenhomes.com, have done some incredible work in the sustainable urban home industry and making Philadelphia a shining example, so you can imagine we're pumped to finally be working together. You can also check out some of the press we've garnered in the last week since the announcement - we've had inquiries for stories from bigger news outlets but we've decided to hold them off until we've got something bigger to show off. http://technicallyphilly.com/2011/04/26/indy-hall-and-postgreen-were-building-a-house http://www.flyingkitemedia.com/devnews/cohousing0510.aspx I'm particularly excited to be applying the lessons learned in building Indy Hall to another related endeavor, one that I expect will provide lessons we can apply back to the workspace as well. We've been fielding questions for the last couple of weeks since we announced the project so if anyone has them here, I'm happy to answer them as well. -Alex /ah indyhall.org coworking in philadelphia -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.
