We allow them to work from home whenever they like, hence the desire to provide a place they want to show up at.

  I think this is key. This is what we did in grad school and it worked great. You worked at home most of the time and came to the office to chalk talk or do work where you don't mind interruptions. That tends to work great when everyone is a five minute bike ride to the office/lab. It's a tougher proposition when a non-trivial number of members of the team are 30 minute auto commutes from the office.

    This is what my and my cofounder do with coworking, spend a fair bit of time working from home but it is good to get into a communal space every now and then. Even if the productivity is lower, being around those your working with leads to things that wouldn't have been thought up or noticed otherwise. The same with others not working on the same thing as you, even now and then things come up and tend to kickstart something or give new insights.
