“Barnfox was born out of a passion to create community-driven spaces that empower the remote workforce to get away, live, work, and play from anywhere in the world,” said CEO & Co-Founder Frederick Pikovsky. “Remote work has necessitated spaces like Barnfox to exist around the country and to meet that need we have moved quickly to introduce solutions for individuals and companies.”
Located at 821 Broadway, Barnfox’s newest location and first residency was commissioned by Nirvana Health to support a hybrid/remote workforce. The space is equipped with Barnfox’s signature amenities and member programming, and provides a flexible solution to underutilized commercial office space. Residencies was launched in response to a waitlist of over 100 individuals and companies interested in Barnfox spaces.

“As Barnfox has grown from one to four locations, we have always kept the local environment at the heart of every decision we have made,” said Co-Founder Tim Tedesco. “Reconnecting with nature is core to Barnfox’s existence, and with each new location we are creating new opportunities through events and activities to help members replenish in nature.”
To create an integrated offsite retreat ecosystem, Barnfox also introduced an accommodations program in early 2021, a collection of unique partner accommodations located close to Barnfox workspaces. Members get access to exclusive booking rates and benefits. Barnfox has also hired former WeWork Executive Kiel Lawrence as Head of Development/Board Member to spearhead future Barnfox locations and developments such as the introduction of Residencies.
