Going with the ‘Flowspace’ Distinctive luminaires create playful, urban vibe in coworking space By Jason Broadhurst
L
ike millions of others across the globe, Jocelyn Trott found herself working at the dining room table during the height of the
pandemic. With kids underfoot at any given time, she saw the opportunity to develop a coworking space in her community. Coworking spaces have grown in popularity with the pandemic. Some companies have eliminated in-person offices, leaving individuals feeling the need to connect or just get out of the house. Flowspace is Lake Oconee’s first such space, offering 15 private offices and two meeting spaces for remote workers and small businesses. Trott purchased three suites in a commercial building, previously an art gallery and interior design store. As an interior designer, she had distinct design goals for the 4,000 square foot renovation. “I really wanted to create that ‘Wow’ first impression when you walked in the door,” Trott says. “It also needed to be a premium, professional environment because our users often meet customers on-site. And finally, it had to feel warm and inviting, encouraging interaction.”
