Shared Workspace Vs Traditional Workspace

Coworking space versus traditional workplace Every business needs its own place to develop. Therefore, owners have to deal with a tough choice. What kind of place do they need?There are two mainstreams: the traditional working place and the coworking space. There is an entire debate about this issue.Should we choose the first or the second? Well, according to your own needs, you can choose one of the two. Rahul Krishna, from ianwire.com wrote a post about this very opposition. He stresses upon some psychological issues, such as the feeling of being lonely. He says that in a coworking space you are with other people, while in a traditional office you may feel alone.

"In a coworking space, you don’t have to be alone; in a private office, you are alone. Most of the coworking spaces offer isolated areas, where you can work in concentration only if it is a requirement, however you don’t have to be alone as you would be in a private office. Humans are social and just being around other people increases quality of life & work. Additionally, most such spaces host events and meetings on how to grow a business." iamwire.com

Bridgeworkslongbeach.com publishes a post in which they debate on the same topic. They say that renting a traditional office is quite expensive and other alternative should be taken into account. The other alternatives are: coworking and shared workplaces.

"For argument’s sake, say you are lucky enough to land a decent office space in a nice part of town, just big enough to accommodate the current stage of your business, and just expensive enough to make it work with the budget. What happens when you, as most businesses (hopefully) do, grow? It’s time to bring in more talent, more physical resources, and more meeting rooms to accommodate that growing client base. But the building you are in has no more room available. Now brace yourself for a big move to a bigger building, the headache of an address change, designing a whole new space to accurately reflect your business philosophy, not to mention the cost of moving. Or, what if (business Gods forbid), business fails and now you have the overhead of a conventional lease for years to come? (Stress-management workshop, anyone?)" bridgeworkslongbeach.com

Worksnug.com publishes an article by Josherwin in which they enlarge upon another opositon between corporate working places and shared working environment.They utter the fact that corporate working places can be appealing. Nonetheless, the idea of coworking spaces is not to be neglected.

"For corporate office workers, the appeal and benefit of a coworking environment may not be readily apparent. You already have access to traditional office amenities like high-speed internet, printers and conference rooms. However, the workforce is increasingly on the move; by 2015, it’s estimated that there will be 1.3 billion mobile workers worldwide, and these aren’t just full-time telecommuters. These are traditional corporate and office employees that are being given newfound freedom to pursue flexible work. There are a variety of benefits to coworking spaces for both businesses and workers, but there are also new challenges to navigate." worksnug.com

"To dress the concrete up a bit, we did a burnished face to expose the aggregate—you get a really nice detail when you see them up close," says designer Robert Sweet. "To add some texture, we randomly rotated the blocks to use their cavities as planters." The row of cacti, aptly called "fence-post cacti," acts as a privacy wall between the entrance and courtyard.
