Creative Habitat

Design

Design Services

In addition to partnering with community spaces to hold our signature coworking + childcare co-op programs, we also enjoy designing creative habitats including full-service interior design, concept design, space planning and lighting design.  We believe in designing spaces that inspire creative collaboration for all ages.  The following projects highlight a variety of spaces we have designed to help others work, play, and grow.  We would love to help you create a collaborative space for your community.  All fees rendered for design services support the Creative Habitat nonprofit fund to help grow and develop our coworking + childcare co-op model designed to support small business owners and their families.
