Interior Design, 2019

Interplay is a co-working space for nonprofit and startup organizations located in Franklinton. Its mission is to attract aid for local issues and commerce for the local economy. It does so by solving issues that nonprofits have when finding an office space, such as affordable rent and amenities. Interplay also houses a consulting firm, which is a valuable resource for small nonprofits and startups. Public spaces, like a coffee shop, event space, and lecture room, bring in the community and keep them informed on the work and services being done by the nonprofits at Interplay. Part of the revenue from these public spaces is then contributed to the fundraising efforts of these nonprofits, creating a symbiotic relationship between the community and nonprofit organizations at Interplay.
