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.
