Fort Future is designed primarily as a shared space for meetings, collaboration, and intentional working sessions—rather than as an open, drop-in coworking environment.
Members may absolutely use the space for solo work, calls, or focused thinking during their booked time. We simply ask that bookings reflect planned use of the space, since availability is shared across members and groups.
-
A booking refers to reserved time in the space, regardless of group size.
Included hours can be used for:
team meetings
collaborative work sessions
planning retreats
solo working or calls
Hours are counted by time reserved, not by number of people present.
