coworking spaces are quickly becoming a mainstream scene for professionals, students, freelancers, and entrepreneurs to intermingle and brainstorm under one roof. the brooklyn boulders facility in somerville, massachusetts is a dynamic creative locale that takes the notion of shared work environments to the next level, combining community, fitness, extreme sporting and culture. this massive venue synthesizes work and play, hosting a scopic range of athletic and recreational activities just beside the several lengthy tables made available for study and productivity. in fact, the collective office space accommodates stand-up desks with built-in pull-up bars and balance ball seats, which sit atop a towering, 40,000 sq. ft. rock climbing wall that wraps around the multi-level construction and scales to the ceiling. available for enthusiasts of all degrees, the indoor terrain is a main architectural component of the space and introduces group exercise lessons and communal classes to the interior landscape. saunas, a yoga studio, rows of cardio fitness equipment and a weight room add a spectrum of physical activity to the multipurpose arena. local artistic attributes enrich the space throughout, as vibrantly colored graffiti art frescos the exposed walls.
