of

oday, the number of people who work remotely and independently
is increasing. For this type of worker, traditional offices won't do.
New spaces—more flexible and collaborative—are burgeoning,
aiming to build communities in an environment that facilitates
productivity and fosters inspiration, boosts creativity, and encourages the
exchange of ideas and experiences.
Nestled in a historic building that formerly housed Vice Media in
Williamsburg—Brooklyn's cultural hub with shops, cafes and restaurants
within reach—e New Work Project reflects this growing trend. Created
by e New Design Project, helmed by Fanny Abbes and James Davison,
this co-working space opened its doors in August 2017. Members are
drawn from a range of creative industries including advertising, PR
and marketing, architecture and design, TV,
film and media, fashion and publishing. e
atmosphere reflects this creative clientele.
Adorned in black-and-white with brass
detailing, the different refined areas consist
of workstations, conference rooms, lounges,
gallery desks and private studios. Midcentury
furniture and elegant lighting fixtures combine
with custom pieces by e New Design Project
and others created in collaboration with local
designers such as J.M. Szymanski and textile
company Eskayel.
"Brooklyn is now recognized as a thriving
hub of creativity and entrepreneurship," says
Davison. "e New Work Project is an intimate,
one-of-a-kind, design-led workspace for
individually minded creators and innovators."
