Work Better, Workhaus

The Workhaus brand concept developed out of the gradual virtualization (related content – great article here about the productivity gains, savings, environmental benefits and even increased safety of going virtual from Inc Mag) of our 12-year-old business and love of working in interesting places outside of our office. As our core staff and clients spread out around the country to live in places close to family or their favorite mountain or terrain, the idea of one central office was not only impractical but more importantly not needed. We have also always enjoyed and am a bit obsessive about creating workspaces.

We are excited about creating collaborative workspaces for people who usually don’t get to work in inspiring creative spaces. And we don’t just mean people who work from home. We hope to attract people who want a more healthy environment to work in. Workhaus is also great for traveling independent professionals who want to avoid the coffee shop shuffle. Imagine your office away from the office.  Workhaus lodges are for people who really love their work. It’s not a place to just socialize about work, but its is surely a place to get a lot of focus, collaborative support and business mentoring. We hope to attract members of all ages and backgrounds and from many industries.

The idea is to create an environment where people are serious about their businesses and have the support and social life of working in an office environment without the boundaries of working with ONLY their company. It’s not for everyone. It’s for people who can conduct their business in a light, mobile, and paperless fashion. We have seen co-working work well for graphic and web designers, techies, writers, consultants, sales people, marketing gurus, and especially bootstrappers who are doing all they can to get a business idea off the ground.
