Businesses are coming together to create DIY co-working spaces, which function similarly to that of flatmates living together.
Sexual wellness start-up Normal brings the toys, office furniture start-up Recess provides the couches, and non-alcoholic beverage start-up Yes You Can stocks the fridge at their inner-city Chippendale share office – the work version of roommates in a share house.
Mirroring a share house dynamic, Normal has been able to use Yes You Can’s desks during the past week as the latter start-up’s staff have gone on holiday. Mutinex co-founder Henry Innis, who works in a different share office down the road, was more critical of co-working providers, saying they no longer met the needs of start-ups.Mutinex shares its office with Earlywork and Payble as it wanted to work in a space with “like-minded start-ups” rather than corporates.
According to online flexible office marketplace Rubberdesk, the amount of available co-working space nationally increased by 5.7 per cent quarter-on-quarter to almost 180,000 square metres as of June.Rubberdesk cited co-working pricing remaining stable despite traditional office landlords providing strong incentives as the reason for the higher vacancies.
