Love it. I wanted to do this in Singapore. There are lots of co-working spaces but they're all so damn social, and what I really want is solitude.

I thought it'd be great to make a co-working space called "Solitude" with lots of little 1-person rooms, and make it clear to any new customers that we're not here to chat and hang out.

But alas it seemed that not many people were into this idea, and Singapore is so insanely expensive that it makes more sense to just find a quiet place at the library or something.

Yea the threat of free substitutes is really strong. Plus prices of real estate in NYC and Singapore are insanely expensive.

Where are you based now?

Still in Singapore. Rented a private office at http://smartspace.sg/

dang, i was just there! Next time I'm in town let me pitch you?

Add a cafe in a central location but out of earshot of the rooms, and some open space with a few seats, and you'll be minted.

I'd need a daylight source somewhere!

Except the view won't be quite as lovely as from those garden sheds.
