We are FRIENDS, an intentionally small, creative co-working community in the heart of Boerum Hill, Brooklyn.
FRIENDS is the work home to a wonderfully small group of creatively minded humans — designers, filmmakers, writers, illustrators, developers, photographers etc.
We work out of the third floor of 47 Bergen Street in Brooklyn in a beautiful open space with exposed brick, old wooden floors, and lots of natural light. The space includes a lounge area, full kitchen, phone booths, a conference room, lunch tables, whiteboards, and 30 work stations.
We welcome new members who are curious, take their side projects seriously, and who believe that collaborating is good for the soul. We adopt humans who love what they do and continuously strive to grow and get better. We appreciate people who love the internet as much as we do. We want doers and kind souls.
Seth Godin puts it best:
"Who you hang out with determines what you dream about and what you collide with. And the collisions and the dreams lead to your changes. And the changes are what you become. Change the outcome by changing your circle.”
– Seth Godin
FRIENDS is one of Tina Roth Eisenberg's labors of love. She started the first creative co-working space in Brooklyn in 2008 and called it Studiomates. In 2015 she moved the community to the current space and decided the new chapter called for a new name: “First we were Studiomates, now we are FRIENDS.”

CURRENT MEMBERS
FRIENDS operates out of a historic factory building in Boerum Hill. The space is divided into a lounge and kitchen area in the front and a quiet work area in the back. The lounge area also includes two phone booths and a conference room. We are part of The Invisible Dog Art Center, rubbing shoulders with amazing 30 artists in residence. If surrounding yourself with kind, driven, creative people is your thing, you'll love it here.
