The challenge with a large space and "community feeling" is that for a LONG time, the space is going to feel more empty than full - even with design, strong architectural approach, etc.
An empty room will never feel cozy. A room full of people, at any size large or small, can absolutely have the cozy, community feel. Is there a way to phase in the space, taking over part of it now and eventually expanding it? -Alex -- /ah indyhall.org coworking in philadelphia On Friday, March 30, 2012 at 5:15 PM, OC Houston wrote: > yeeeees, i know i have been to most of your websites before but > everytime i go back i see something different. loving Blankspaces and > feeling a little better by the minute. :-) > > On Mar 30, 3:23 pm, Jerome Chang <[email protected] > (http://blankspaces.com)> wrote: > > We did it thru architecture (desk and office layout, materials, lighting, > > etc.).
