The struggle to find a balance between work and life is hard for anyone in creative industry, but even more so for creatives who freelance; for these unlucky individuals, work life and home life often fall into a single space. I’ve struggled with this for a long time now and know how frustrating it can be, I have gone to the furthest lengths to strike a balance, squatting at spare desks, coffee shops, and pretty much anywhere else you can think of. All this misery ended yesterday when I signed up at workspace, a vancouver based shared work environment.
I originally found it on one of my daily reads, matthewgood.org, thinking it a similar community to Flickr, I clicked. My life changed a little at that point, I called immediately and checked the facility out; everything is totally worth the monthly rate, beautiful view, a vast range of personalities, and the coffee is great. If you can sympathize with my tone and need to get back into overdrive, check it out soon as space is filling up fast.

Dear Todd
I came across the Workspace while looking for information on other work space options (I am a freelance designer and wanted to create a place like this in Milan, Italy where I currently live.) I was surprised and disappointed to see that they have closed and was curious to understand why. Do you know anything about it or anyone who I may contact to learn more, it seemed like a great place. I would appreciate any info-thanks! [email protected]
