Private Workspace for Rent

Secure, Dedicated Offices for Focused Professional Work

Silk Screen Studios offers fully private, individual workspaces designed for professionals who require security, confidentiality, and uninterrupted focus. Our historic warehouse at 179 W. Berks St. houses 57 separate units, each functioning as a complete, lockable office under your exclusive control. Unlike shared environments where colleagues and strangers occupy adjacent desks, our model provides genuine privacy — your space, your lock, your schedule. Situated in Philadelphia’s Fishtown district, the building combines the autonomy of independent office space with the convenience of month-to-month flexibility, eliminating both the distractions of public coworking and the burdens of traditional commercial leases.

FAQ

How is privacy maintained between adjacent units?

Each unit operates as a completely separate office with locking doors and solid walls — not partitions or dividers. You control access to your space exclusively. Sound travels less than in open environments due to the building's heavy timber and brick construction.

Can I store confidential documents and equipment securely?

Yes. Your unit remains locked when unoccupied, accessible only through your personal access credentials. Many members store client files, expensive equipment, inventory, and proprietary materials on-site with confidence in the building's security systems.

What kind of professionals currently occupy the building?

Current members include therapists conducting private sessions, designers protecting client work, consultants managing proprietary strategies, and healthcare practitioners maintaining HIPAA compliance. The common thread is the need for genuine privacy rather than shared workspace exposure.

How does the access system work?

App-controlled secure entry allows you to manage your own schedule and grant temporary access to clients, team members, or vendors as needed. No reception desk, no sign-in sheets, no shared access logs — your comings and goings remain private.

What happens if my space requirements change?

Month-to-month agreements allow you to adjust your commitment as your practice evolves. Expand to larger units when your business grows or adjust based on operational changes without lease penalties or complex negotiations.

Can clients visit my workspace directly?

Absolutely. Your private workspace functions as your business address where you can receive clients, conduct meetings, and manage operations with complete autonomy. Many practitioners use their units as their primary business location.
