Appears a new office model that is popular with real estate business owners
According to this unit, the concept of working from home; or “teleworking” has been familiar to many people since before the pandemic, especially to freelancers or outsourced services. But in the past two years, this concept is no longer a trend, but has become a necessity and imperative for businesses to continue operating during the peak of the epidemic. The wave of working from home makes investors consider office space in the long term.
Up to now, when employees have gradually returned to work at the office, some companies have quickly come up with long-term flexible working plans so that employees can have a balance between work and life. However, there are still certain limitations when working from home for families with young children at home or limited living space in big cities where it is difficult to have office space dedicated to work. The solution to these problems has appeared in Singapore and Shanghai, which are famously expensive and lack of space. The third space next to the main office and home workspace is the “office cocoon”.
An office cocoon is a space built in small rooms with full specialized facilities such as telephones, high-speed secure Internet, and can be used by the hour or by time packages. These small rooms can sit from 1 to 4 people, with locations located in commercial centers, office floors in large buildings, coffee shops or right in coworking office floors. The purpose of the small rooms placed everywhere is to help users freely choose a private space close to home, close to customers without spending much time moving.
Switch, a Singaporean company, has led the market in creating this office cocoon, and they call it “the world’s first anytime, anywhere office platform”. Users can book and pay via the mobile app. The company has placed office pods in more than 30 locations, ranging from retail malls and hotels to office floors and coworking spaces. Shanghai-based real estate developer Shui On has also developed a similar type of office cocoon in the office space it manages. Shui On notes that this type of space is used an average of 4.3 hours per day, including weekends.
Ms. Trang Bui, General Director, Cushman & Wakefield Vietnam shared: “Through discussions with partner businesses in Vietnam, we have received positive feedback from investors when discussing the model. working in an office cocoon Real estate investors and homeowners can benefit from adding an office solution to an existing space, for example, a hotel can convert large meeting rooms into suites office suites, making them only available to members on a loyalty program tier or with a discounted rate for in-house guests.Retail owners with multiple Shopping Center, shophouse premises can also apply for this cocoon shape to fill dead corners, areas left vacant for a long time due to disease effects.
This service also brings many potential customers to visit as well as use the surrounding shopping and dining facilities outside of working time. This model can even be combined with a cafe and coworking space to provide a space that can provide both privacy and comfort.
