You might remember Sam Rosen from Apartment Therapy's Walking Tour of 5 lofts in the West Loop. We gave you a sneak peek of his live/work space, which was recently reconfigured into a co-op office. Sam's renting out the co-op to people who need an inexpensive workspace and are willing to share...

At one time, Sam used this large loft as his work-from-home office. He's since moved out and transformed it into a mixed-use workspace. Sam runs his business, One Design, from a corner of the loft.

With so much extra space, Sam decided to make the loft available to other graphic designers, web developers, and self-employed professionals who may need an office away from home, but don't want to create a lot of overhead for themselves. Amenities include a T-1 Internet connection, kitchen and bathroom, furnishings such as a desk and work table, security camera, and Sam's friendly office dog.

Rental rates are $20/day, $90/week, and $300/month. Renters share the space with other co-op members.

AT's original tour of the loft is here. It's since been transformed from a live/work loft into a workspace only, but the tour gives a decent idea of the layout and style. For more information from Sam, click here.
