O que são os espaços de convivência e quais os benefícios?

Outdoor living and coworking spaces are a growing trend, especially in a post-pandemic world. Gradually, people are returning to their “normal” lives and work routines. Thus, these external spaces help with the readaptation and make the transition from the home office to the face-to-face more natural.

See, in this post, why living and coworking spaces are trending in the market!

Qual é a importância dos espaços de convivência?

The living spaces in external areas are intended for employees to rest during breaks. They can count on tables, snooker, coffee areas, plants, hammocks and several other elements that combine with the outdoor spaces.

Especially in this post-pandemic period, these spaces help people reconnect with the “real world”. A return guided by the secure connection between co-workers can reduce turnover and absenteeism rates among employees.

Being in a healthy and restful environment, feeling the outdoors and being in contact with nature and with colleagues favors interaction between professionals, allowing the creation of a bond of belonging with the company and making returning to work far away more natural from the home office.

Além disso, as áreas de convivência também melhoram a produtividade dos colaboradores. Quando eles podem descansar em um ambiente tranquilo e confortável com seus colegas, as chances de voltarem mais focados ao trabalho é bem maior.

Por que espaços de convivência estão virando tendências?

Living areas arranged outdoors are gaining ground in companies. The environments that stand out the most are the rooftops! Rooftops are located on the top of buildings, that is, they are environments built on the roofs of buildings.

They are a strong trend, as they allow employees to have a privileged view of the city and breathe pure air while resting during breaks or participating in company celebrations.

The coworking trend is all about flexibility. The environments are open for several hours a day, are cheaper, have their own lighting and furniture, many packages already include expenses with electricity and internet, in addition to other advantages, such as integration between different audiences and a privileged location in cities.

In addition, coworking appears to be linked to another trend, the “anywhere office” – or, in literal translation, “office anywhere”. This disruptive work model allows employees not to be tied to the company's traditional office, being able to work elsewhere and be even more productive for it.

Características de um bom espaço de convivência

Para entender o que são espaços de convivência, é importante considerar alguns elementos fundamentais que tornam esses locais mais funcionais e agradáveis.

Um bom espaço de convivência deve contar com áreas bem planejadas, iluminação adequada, mobiliário confortável e design que favoreça a interação social.

Além disso, esses ambientes precisam ser acessíveis e inclusivos, garantindo que todos possam usufruir deles de maneira confortável e segura.

Tipos de espaços de convivência

Agora que sabemos o que são espaços de convivência, é hora de conhecer seus diferentes tipos e aplicações.

Esses espaços podem ser encontrados em diversos contextos, desde empresas e instituições de ensino até áreas públicas e comerciais. Alguns dos principais tipos incluem:

  • Espaços corporativos: ambientes voltados para o descanso e socialização de funcionários dentro de empresas e escritórios.
  • Coworkings: locais compartilhados que incentivam a troca de experiências e colaboração entre profissionais de diferentes áreas.
  • Praças e parques urbanos: espaços ao ar livre que promovem encontros, lazer e atividades recreativas para a população.
  • Áreas de lazer em condomínios: ambientes projetados para fortalecer a interação entre moradores e proporcionar momentos de relaxamento.

Esses espaços desempenham um papel essencial na criação de ambientes mais acolhedores e produtivos, reforçando a importância de um planejamento adequado para atender às necessidades dos usuários.

O que se atentar em um espaço de convivência?

The first step in choosing an external coworking space is evaluating where it is located. As this solution is much more accessible than having your own office, it is interesting to look for a good location to bring more prestige to clients.

Spaces on Avenida Paulista with affordable prices, for example, are a great option for startups, self-employed professionals, agencies, consultancies and other types of companies to stand out.

After evaluating the location, it is important to check the spaces available in the coworking environment. The space may have more open environments, ideal for companies with many programmers, while other environments may have slightly more closed spaces, more suitable for legal assistance, for example.

The outdoor coworking space must also have access to quality internet, good lighting (which can be natural) and adequate furniture, with chairs, tables and workstations, in addition to an equipped bathroom and kitchen. Everything must be focused on ergonomics to improve the quality of life and well-being of professionals.
