Creative Coworking

Creative Coworking works out of Colvin House, a 1909 Edgewater mansion on Sheridan Road designed by architect George Maher and restored by founder Angela Valavanis as offices and an event venue. The space is aimed at small businesses and remote workers who want a quieter, more residential setting than a downtown tower. Memberships are sold by visits per month, from occasional use up to unlimited, with reserved desks and a four-person private office for people who need more. Valavanis ran the original Creative Coworking in downtown Evanston for 15 years before handing that location to new owners in 2026 to focus on Colvin House.
