Traditional office setting are becoming less common as entrepreneurs, freelancers, and startup communities favor the benefits of co-working spaces. These benefits include work-life balance, community, business development and more.  

The greatest benefit of all is the ability for independent knowledge professionals with complementary skills to easily connect with one another and help grow each other’s businesses. Prior to the development of the first co-working spaces, entrepreneurs turned to business centers, executive suites and telecenters for access to office facilities in strategic locations.  

However, the current iteration of co-working spaces really took up for the social/collaborative aspect, combined with the general aesthetic and material design of the spaces themselves, coupled with purpose and function.
