You guys are definitely clearing some runway arent you! Nothing is actually FREE as you seem to be claiming? Your space looks a little cramped and dumpy to me. Also i feel the only idiots willing to drop 500 quid a month on a desk with you are aspiring Carsonified wannabes.

Good luck to them.

Looks interesting, we set up the same concept in Hasselt (Belgium) a few weeks ago (http://www.zuivelmarkt19.be). Our office itself is quite a bit smaller, but in my opinion the general feeling is way more comfortable/less crowded.

Anyhow, there are very big advantages working in an environment with co-entrepreneurs, really hope this concept will become more widely accepted.

Very enterprising – nice to see the desks of the employees you recently fired aren’t just gathering dust :)

I was just reading about Hyper Island (design school in Sweden) doing this for companies… offering space within the schools creative environment for employees to work and “become inspired”. I’m all for it and hope it’s a trend that catches on!

Another great idea, Ryan! If I was down in Bath, I’d jump at it like a shot.

@James – I suppose you can as the contract will allow you 24 hour access. Lol.

Great idea Carsonified! :)

Dayumm :( Looks amazing. Great offer guys! I just wished I lived a bit closer, unless your willing to let me rent out a beanbag as a bed? Hehe!

Good luck guys and I hope i’ll be a part of the Carsonified team one day :p

Oups, these didn’t make it in to my previous comment.

Some coworking links that may be of interest.

This wiki has lots of tips on how to start and joining a cowo space and links to spaces around the world:

My personal favorite is http://citizenspace.us/ where I am fortunate enough to work out of on occasion.
