Coworking at The Box Jelly

If anyone wants to see the interiors of fishcake (where The Box Jelly is) you can have a look at my flickr set of photos I did for Hawaii Luxury Magazine three years ago.

Hey Reychung, Rex here... I didn't know your were doing this... Maura never mentioned it. Hope you are successful with it. Honolulu can use a place like this for us self-employed/home office kind of guys!

Awesome idea. If you guys haven't spoken to Ryan Kanno yet, this might be a good place for Hi-Capacity to meet and coordinate. Also, our company will be renting out our office and will probably need a space to collaborate and meet until our new workspace is built and complete. Is the fee per-person or can there be a group rate setup if 5-6 people are there daily?

I look forward to see the progress. Keep up the great work!

I can see how co-working would be a cool setup. For productivity, it would force me to work on stuff, so I can have something to show to people. That could be a blog post, a mockup for a web design, or an operational piece of programming code. If you made a goal of doing enough to have one thing to present to others every day, you could get a lot done.Then there's the social aspect. While it's relaxing to type away on your laptop in a coffee shop, you can't just wander around and introduce yourself to people. With co-working, you can check out what cool stuff people are making, and get inspired by trading ideas. It will be interesting to see how this turns out. Best of luck to The Box Jelly.

Big ups to @Rechung and the boys from @TheBoxJelly. Glad they're making progress!

A "pop-up coworking space." Cool! For the month? Does that mean The Box Jelly pops up somewhere else next month? It looks great at Fishcake, though I guess anything would in a boutique furniture store. Interesting that they're charging right out of the gate, but hey, how better to gauge if the idea is sustainable?

I enjoyed seeing how coworking can work. It's interesting how so many mainland trends, from coworking spaces to food truck rallies, are making their way to Hawaii and being introduced by young, entrepreneurial types.

my work life has been spent in the traditional structured corporate environment. my wife is an architect and has had a work life less structured. architects like creative spaces and casual synergy. for a self employed person, these co-operatives make a nice compromise between going to a cubicle in a highrise and trying to carve out an isolated home workspace. creatives need the company of other creative people. what a peaceful space BoxJelly is. thanks for showing it to us.
