At Arrowstreet Architecture and Design, we think outside the box, literally, when it comes to coworking. In fact, we’re proud to have designed one of the most dynamic coworking space networks in the United States: Brooklyn Boulders (BKB), which features productive environments for users to work and mingle amongst a series of climbing walls. BKB outposts are now active in a variety of old and new spaces, from a converted warehouse in Somerville, Mass. to a luxury residential building in Long Island City, N.Y.
As the architect of the Brooklyn Boulders projects, I’m a true believer when it comes to the multiple benefits of the “active collaborative workplace”, which can not only make us more motivated, but healthier as well. However, even if your coworking space features Xbox and a barista in lieu of a climbing wall, there are reasons aplenty to abandon the nine-to-five grind in favor of the coworking experience.
