[Coworking] Re: Small Coworking Space: Is it too small? (Slight math problem)

We started with a space of 1000sqf, I agree with everyone below - it's all about the way you design the space. But my advice is, don't get hung up on that. Start with what suits the numbers and keep changing the space as you go along. Let it evolve. Year and a half later and I am finally

Re: [Coworking] Smallest viable office size?

I very much understand the problem, but the solution of "make the office smaller" always feels short sighted to me. My best answer to folks whose work isn't coworking compatible looks like this: *"Do you have one (or two or three) days a month worth of work that isn't that? * *Time you spend

Re: [Coworking] Smallest viable office size?

Just to be explicit... When you say: Imagine a 6x8' room was not an option. What *other* ways could we help this kind of person's needs? The needs that you are identifying: 1 - Phone privacy - so people don't hear the content of the call 2 - Phone disruption - so others don't get bother by phone

Haha. It’s almost a coincidence, and it almost isn’t. I called out the Exec suites offices as “office prisons” in my original business plan from 2006-2007. Jerome > On Jan 12, 2018, at 1:17 PM, Alex Hillman > wrote: > > > > > > > -- > The

[Coworking] Smallest viable office size?

Curious if any of you have pushed the limit of how small a micro-office could be? There are so many people who are just always on the phone or meeting clients for coaching or whatnot and can't work in the open area but are dying for the coworking community. What is your smallest office size?

Re: [Coworking] Smallest viable office size?

The strategy of making the office smaller is to offer a workspace that both offers an affordable price point, and a level of privacy/ergonomics that that member simply needs to be productive. Yes, one way is indeed like Alex says, which is to only come in to a Coworking space for certain types

Re: [Coworking] Smallest viable office size?

We have a bunch of 6x8 phone rooms. They're very comfortable. I'm so glad we have them. They're well ventilated, ergonomically designed, and are NOT productive spaces for every day use. That's the thing. It's not hard to give somebody something they need. But is it actually better? Or even in

Re: [Coworking] Smallest viable office size?

I’ve personally worked in our 6x8 offices, and so have legions of others for months at a time. They’ve seemed pretty happy, as I have, too. I think plenty of people work differently enough, that no one solution fits. That said, Alex, what is it that you’re trying to solve that you think the bar

Re: [Coworking] Smallest viable office size?

It really depends on what you mean by "office" If you mean the size of a room which one person is going to sit by themselves for the whole day working on projects, it would be different that the size of a room for someone to make a private call or to have a one on one meeting. The phone booth
