As a space organizer (makerspace, hackerspace) and a product/furniture designer I'm very interested in how to tailor the built environment to maximize the space available to all users.
I'm interested in hearing from anyone that has used any particularly notable 'space hacks' or special fixtures, furnishings and equipment to maximize the floor space available, and in PARTICULAR, to create flexible or shifting-use spaces. With most coworkers having a phone, tablet, laptop to work from ... I'd expect those small products to be essential to making the most of a space ... Do you have flip-down wall desks? Ceiling-mounted power drops? Things that fold up and away? Wall-hung folding chairs? Did you select smaller chairs and other furniture than you would have otherwise? Did you arrange for things to be stowed away when not in use, like aboard a boat? Nets on the walls to hold things, that sort of thing? Did you move towards more compact solutions like wall hooks for coats rather than the retro but popular "coat tree" style of things? How about a lofted area? Any clever use of small nooks? And, finally ... for any size space, did you use space planning software, like an interior design or architecture program such as Revit, to help with space planning, or something like making a scale model on paper or with foam blocks to wargame your space planning? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.
