Co-living, Co-working & Co-creating

Co-working by sharing office space for independent activities is trendy in Hong Kong these days. While working in isolation in an office may not be cost-effective and working at home may not have the needed facilities, co-working offers the solution. Cost-saving aside, networking with like-minded peers should generate synergy.

In the late 1970s, I co-lived for years with some Hong Kong University graduates and undergraduates. Economically, we optimized the use of space, and socially, we were quite a young-and-bright community. Learning from my peers, I transformed myself from a part-time housing management student into a full-time law school undergraduate.

Practising as a barrister is an old profession and so is its co-working culture. It is common that independent barristers share a set of chambers to work from the premises. Some chambers even grant permission to door-tenant barristers (without private rooms) to use the chambers facilities such as conference rooms and books at a lower rent.

After work today, a fellow barrister invited me to her drama co-working studio. I witnessed a little-known community of like-mind copyright creators and performers committed to making their dreams come true. I believe co-creating in a co-living or co-working environment is an alternative creative development of the cultural scene in Hong Kong!
