Abstract:
The new modern community consists of more freelancers, start-ups and soloentrepreneurs, and will constitute a large amount of the total workforce in the future. Nowadays younger generations like-minded people as well as a “fun and social” workplace. This place can be a co-working a facility, which has become a part of the current sharing economy revolution.
The aim of this thesis is to investigate a solution for achieving an extroverted and inclusive working environment that can encourage its users to interact, thereby creating a social platform where they quickly bounce ideas back and forth. The intention is to combine interest for sustainability and create a comfortable, homelike environment in the workspaces to enhance work efficiency and productivity. The result is a design proposal for a co-working Hub with flexible shared spaces for activities such as co-working and co-creating. The aim is to provide the users with an environment that encourages social interaction and enhance networking and collaboration opportunities for businesses by working in close proximity to people in other fields that share similar values. This will contribute to a city centre that will be attractive to visit, work and live in.
