Australian-first co-working space makes its mark

A co-working space designed for people with varying abilities is thriving in the South Australian suburb of Port Adelaide.

Called ‘co-able’, the innovative collaborative venture is the first of its kind in Australia, offering single room workspaces and suites to sole traders and small businesses.

If you’ve ever thought about spending your working days in an accessible and inclusive professional home, check this out.

co-able founder, Shane Hryhorec, says the concept was developed when he began looking for a commercial space to rent and realised a lot of spaces weren’t accessible for wheelchair users. From there, a vision was born to provide a destination that included a range of providers all working towards improving the lives of people with disability.

Every aspect of co-able – from the boardroom and communal kitchen to the dining area and bathrooms, and everything in between – has been designed with accessibility and inclusivity top of mind. Features highlighted on the co-able website include:

  • A large, high weight capacity lift
  • Braille on signage
  • Tactile pads
  • Touch screen video intercom in suites
  • Large accessible bathrooms
  • Firm surfaces for easy wheelchair rolling
  • Quiet areas
  • Large, free flowing walkways
  • Accessible street parking
  • Wide doorways
  • Curb cuts around the building

Excitingly, Shane hopes to bring the co-able concept to other locations, in particular in Melbourne and Sydney.
