Hypepotamus and Architecture Tourist are teaming to tour Atlanta's work-spaces and to meet the cool folks who work there. Thanks to my fellow traveler Trish Whitlock. Editor at Hypepotamus. We've done four tours so far. I'm recapping them here in one place.

• DeskHub's CoWorking Space: A Light Filled and Pointy Un-Loft, Terry's Tiny Tour
• Payscape's Work-space: a Pup and a Totem Mural, Terry's Tiny Tour
• Syrup Marketing's Work-space: Climbing Wall and Crow's Nest, Terry's Tiny Tour
• Terry's Tiny Tour: 101 Seconds at Frogtoon in Atlanta Tech Village with Yassine, Selah, & Trish

Yassine Sbiti and Selah Omer (Frogtune), Trish Whitlock (Hypepotamus) at Atlanta Tech Village.

Our first stop was DeskHub CoWorking Space prior to its grand opening: Day-lighted  pointy diagonals in the piano noble of a Buckhead office building with "inside is outside" vanishing thresholds, superb furniture and two kitchens.

We want to return when it opens but it was fun making a ruckus with no one to bother.



Thanks  DeskHub CoWorking Space and my fellow traveler Trish Whitlock. Editor at Hypepotamus.

Our third stop was Syrup Marketing: A half-court basketball sized space, with a climbing wall, crow's nest conference room, foosball, dark rooms and light rooms, big spaces and cozy spaces, FUN coat rack at 0:24 in the video, breathing room. Bravo.

Here's a look around in 104 seconds. Music starts at 0:12.



Lot's of ways to work at Syrup.

Thanks Syrup Marketing and my fellow traveler Trish Whitlock. Editor at Hypepotamus.

More to come.

P.S. Attention  design fans:


Super table.

Our fourth stop was Payscape Advisors. The motif is orange and red from the office dog to the Totem Mural. The plan is a shotgun single axis enfilade. The day-lighting is clerestory. You'd never guess from its warehouse - light industrial disguise.

It's pretty nice outback.

Thanks Payscape and my fellow traveler Trish Whitlock. Editor at Hypepotamus.

More to come.

Our second stop was Atlanta Tech Village. It's a whole building full of tech companies smack on the corner of Piedmont and the Buckhead Loop. Trish Whitlock and I were visiting Yassine Sbiti and Selah Omer at Frogtoon Music. Yassine is founder and CEO, Selah was making it all work. Both were terrific hosts.

Atlanta Tech Village was JUMPING I tell you. The shiny orange wall and Octane Coffee were the CALMING influences. Have you been there?


That's the awesome Trish Whitlock, editor at Hypepotamus on the left, the awesome Octane Coffee barista on the right.

After coffee I didn't know what was going to happen. I was expecting to have my head blown clean off.

Instead we had the warmest little meeting. Yassine and Selah showed us Frogtune Music in their tiny yet totally adequate office.

As we said goodbye, Trish took pictures while I took 101 seconds of video and added a dash of Mozart.


A pleasant dose of warmth and good cheer, you don't meet companies and offices, you meet people. Bravo!


We got a little rowdy, enough that the shush-up-lady-in-yellow-stripes asked us to quiet down. We did.

Thanks Yassine, Selah, and Trish.

What about the first stop, the third, fourth and the rest? More later.
