Designing Effective Coworking Layouts
Get the membership mix right
Private offices usually earn the most per sq ft; hot desks fill the gaps; meeting rooms bring in extra revenue. The mix should follow local demand.
Design points
- Quiet and loud zones separated by the kitchen or circulation.
- Plenty of phone booths.
- Movable partitions so private office sizes can change.
- Robust finishes; coworking gets heavy use.
Finding the building
Because Fraser Bond also handles commercial lettings, we can help find and negotiate a suitable floor or building before the fit-out.

How many desks fit in a coworking space?
Often one workstation per 60–80 sq ft of net space in desk areas, but the overall mix sets the total.
Can private offices be reconfigured later?
Yes, if you use demountable partitions from the start.
