5 Reasons to Choose a Private Office in a Coworking Space
By Benoît C., 30 August 2023
At a time when flexibility and collaboration have become central to new ways of working, coworking spaces have emerged as havens for freelancers and small teams.
Among the many options available within coworking environments, private offices stand out by combining the privacy of a traditional office with the stimulating energy of a shared workspace. At Greenspace, we offer spaces where small businesses and teams of 1 to 6 people can thrive.
In this article, we will explore five reasons to choose a private office within a coworking space.
Whether you are a growing startup, a passionate freelancer or a creative team looking for a place to bring your ideas to life, we believe the benefits of a private office can meet your specific needs.
Discover how a private office at Greenspace Paris can not only improve your productivity and concentration, but also give you access to all the advantages of coworking. We will look at those benefits in the next section.
Step into an environment where comfort, design and functionality come together to create the ideal workspace.
1. Privacy and concentration
A private office provides an environment where your team can focus without being distracted by the conversations or activities of other members.
It also allows you to take calls discreetly without having to leave your office.
Of course, most coworking spaces also provide call boxes and meeting rooms, including five call boxes and three meeting rooms at Greenspace, so that your office does not turn into a call centre and disturb the rest of the team.
These spaces can also be useful for important confidential meetings, sensitive tasks or projects requiring a higher level of concentration.
The combination of a private office, meeting rooms and call boxes therefore allows you to work in your own bubble and choose the most suitable space depending on the type of call and the number of people in the office.
2. Personalising your workspace
By choosing a private office, you can customise the space to meet your team’s specific needs.
The offices come furnished with desks, chairs, storage and some basic decoration, but you can add your own personal touches and adjust the number of desks according to the size of your team.
Add your company colours, plants, a whiteboard or even a sofa, almost anything is possible. At Greenspace, the office is part of our coworking space, but it is also your own.
According to the Journal of Experimental Psychology, working in an environment with plants can increase employee productivity and creativity by 15%. Not bad, right?
This allows you to create a workspace tailored to your preferences and provide your team with a healthy, comfortable environment where they can feel good and be more productive.
3. Flexibility and scalability
Choosing a private office in a coworking space offers far greater flexibility than a traditional three, six or nine-year commercial lease.
There is no need to predict your company’s growth over the next three years. In coworking spaces, the notice period is generally only two to three months.
You can also adjust the size of your workspace as your needs evolve, whether by increasing or reducing the office capacity. Simply speak with the management team to explore the available options and find the best solution to support your company’s growth.
4. Access to shared facilities
One of the main advantages of coworking is access to a wide range of shared facilities, including meeting rooms, call boxes, relaxation areas and a cafeteria.
You also benefit from spaces that would otherwise take up part of your own office without directly contributing to your working area, such as bathrooms, technical rooms and circulation areas.
5. Community and networking
Even with a private office, you are still surrounded by other professionals and friendly neighbours.
This creates opportunities to connect, share informal moments, especially during lunch breaks, and meet people with similar interests.
These interactions can benefit your personal wellbeing, your company, future partnerships and upcoming projects.
Private offices at Greenspace
Greenspace has welcomed around one hundred coworkers since 2010, and many of them have chosen to work from a private office.
From communications, web and audiovisual production agencies to early-stage startup teams, remote employees and freelancers looking for an independent workspace, all of them have found a solution that suits their needs.
On average, members occupying a private office at Greenspace stay longer than those working in the open-plan areas.
These small teams do more than simply settle into a workspace.
They grow within an environment of their own, where they can build their company culture while still enjoying the benefits of the wider Greenspace community.
And honestly, we understand why. It is certainly more appealing than working from an anonymous office floor in La Défense.
If you are looking for a workspace where you can grow your business and achieve your goals, a private office in a coworking space could be the perfect solution.
