A Coworking Space With A Difference

Jan 07, 2020

Height Adjustable Desks

We have strived to provide the best coworking environment at our new venture TheSpace here in Farnham, Surrey, hence our investment in height adjustable desks throughout the 1st floor of our offices, so if you fancy standing whilst working, make sure you book as a member one of the 6 hotdesks on our first floor. We are not doctors but have experienced back pain so know the advantages our desks can bring.
 
Why Height Adjustable Desks
The benefits of height adjustable desks in a coworking space are clear in terms of comfort and wellbeing. The main problem with most computer work stations lies in what would seem contrary to natural instinct: the human body as a whole is designed to be in motion, and not to be sitting for extended periods of time. Movement is imperative for spinal health, by improving circulation and reducing muscle fatigue. Relief from Static Muscle Fatigue may only be achieved through muscle movement. Increased blood flow to fatigued muscles occurs when standing and walking, which re-energies the muscles. According to the most recent research people need to get out of their chairs and move at least five minutes per hour. 
Back pain is one of the most common complaints of office or coworkers who sit all day in a serviced office or coworking building. To determine if standing desks could improve this, several studies have been done on employees with long-term back pain. Participants have reported up to a 32% improvement in lower back pain after several weeks of using standing desks. Another study published by the CDC found that use of a sit-stand desk reduced upper back and neck pain by 54% after just 4 weeks. Additionally, removal of the sit-stand desks reversed some of those improvements within a 2-week period.
 
Adjustable height desks allow the user to select a working position that is ideal for their body.
Coworkers who alternate between a sitting and standing positions in the office will have more energy, experience reduced fatigue levels, and reduce their risk of injury caused by working in one body position too long. Height Adjustable desks allow multiple users to move the work surface to meet their individual needs.
 
Sitting as well as Standing at your Hotdesk
That being said, when the human body is standing, pressure on the intervertebral discs of the lower back is fairly low, much lower than when we sit unsupported. Standing uses about 20% more energy than sitting however, so your body tires more quickly than sitting. So we also invested in the highest spec office chairs we can find.... all part of providing the best working environment for you to get on and do what's best... your work...

Different coworking venues have different pricing models, but we like to keep our offering very simple and more importantly flexible for our coworking members. We have designed our latest venue here in Farnham to be a members only "club", to give an added sense of community between our members, all of which are local or working in the area who get to know each other, swap ideas and networks and give that sense of community. Most of our members have the facility to work from home, but prefer what we can offer them in terms of a productive environment and that separation of work from home again.

What our Coworking Members in Farnham think of our hotdesk venue

Coworking still open with Covid Lockdown
15 Jul, 2020
The Space was already designed in January to be a low density coworking or workspace in Farnham, we only have desks for up to 15 hotdesks in our centre across 2 floors in our charming centre on East Street. The historic building has vaulted ceilings, huge sash windows and oozes character right in the centre of Farnham so is already light, airy and has the feeling of space. So when Covid arrived we were lucky as we didn’t have to make many changes. What we did do was half the number of desks for our co-working members and do all the necessary sanitisation precautions that have now become the norm with Covid and the return to work.

How will Covid-19 change coworking and working from home
By Nick Kent 17 Apr, 2020
After 3+ weeks of working from home in and around Farnham, we are curious how the workplace will change once the brakes are lifted in Surrey and people start to return to work. Things for sure will have changed in that even the most traditional leaders and managers must have changed their view on how productive their team can be working from home. I for one have found some aspects truly challenging (the locked in a room syndrome and the lack of human intervention), but equally there are aspects that I have enjoyed (eating with the family at a reasonable hour, not commuting, walking the dog for your screen-break) and sometimes productivity has shot up (ability to really focus etc).
