Start looking for an office and chances are, you’ll be shown a ‘standard’ space based on how many people are in your team. A 4 person office? That’ll be 150 to 200 sq ft according to most flexible office space providers.
But the reality is, not every team works the same way. Some thrive in a tight, focused setup. Others need more room for storage, for meetings, or simply for comfort. That’s why at Pure Offices, we don’t decide how much space you should have. You do.
The myth of the ‘standard’ office size
Businesses come in all shapes and sizes and so should offices. One company might work comfortably in 150 sq ft, while another prefers 250 sq ft or more for the same amount of people. Some need extra storage, a dedicated meeting area or a more open layout to collaborate.
Many office providers allocate space based on a fixed calculation, often around 50 sq ft per person. That might work for some, but others need flexibility. That’s why at Pure Offices, we offer a variety of office sizes, from small private spaces to larger suites, so you can choose what works best for your team.
Different businesses, different needs
Here’s how the same headcount can have very different space requirements (based on a team of 4):
Office size isn’t everything – utilising shared spaces
The size of your private office isn’t the only factor to consider. At Pure Offices, we offer shared breakout spaces, on-site meeting rooms and well designed communal areas. That means you don’t have to fit everything into your office, you can choose a space that works for you and use the amenities when you need them.
Some teams prefer a smaller office because they regularly use meeting rooms and shared spaces. Others want their own dedicated meeting area within their office. It’s all about what suits your business best.
Choosing the right space for your business
At Pure Offices, we don’t assume that all businesses fit into the same space. We offer a variety of options, so you can pick the one that makes sense for your team. And if things change? We make it easy to move within our buildings.
Whether you need a compact, efficient office or something with a little extra room, the choice is yours.
p.s. we offer offices for teams of every size, the 4 person space is just one example. From solo workers to growing teams, we’ve got a space that fits
