As I look out the window of my home office, the gentle drift of ocean currents and the soft peaks of golden sand inspire me to great heights of productivity.
Yeah right. I currently look out onto a row of city council bins, I am sweltering in my 5x 5 metre home office space and I've befriended the neighbourhood stray cat, such is my need for a sounding board to run my ideas pass.
For self-employed people working from home, the Thought Fort is Brisbane's latest 24 hour co-working studio space. It's a great idea for those who don't like to mix their domestic life with work or just need to upgrade to a professional space for client meetings without the complications of leasing a commercial office.
Prices range from daily, weekly or monthly hire and include a desk, air-conditioning, internet access, cleaning, basic printing (don't print a magazine), Friday beers and an exotic fish tank. Also included is the great opportunity to network with like-minded people who are sharing the same experiences of building a business. The current tenants are an eclectic mix of designers, musicians, artists and programmers but don't let this deter you from applying. If you're working on a great idea, you need some temporary office space, you want like-minded people to inspire and support you, then check out the Thought Fort.
The Thought Fort is located 550m away from Brunswick St Station and 850m away from Central Station. read more
