A [https://residential.jll.co.uk/insights/research/has-covid-19-altered-our-housing-needs JLL survey] of 1,300 20-25 year olds in May 2020 following the Coronavirus pandemic lock down found:

* A dramatic shift in staff appetite for home working.
* An increase in numbers wanting to move home to acquire more private space for home working with faster broadband.

It appears that the appeal of home working is primarily influenced by wasted downtime and the inconvenience of commuting. Pre COVID-19, 2% of the population worked 3-4 days a week from home. Post COVID-19 (although still in the eye of the storm) 24% of respondents expressed a wish to work 3-4 days from home.

From manager’s viewpoint, conventional offices will always be required for collaborative and creative activity as well as corporate cohesion. There are however compelling adverse environmental and health issues in relation to public and private transport. There is accumulating evidence demonstrating to employers that home working is as productive as office working, with improved cognitive performance and sleep patterns.

However, for all the advantages of cutting out commuting to central offices, home working has its distractions. Productivity can be disturbed by family and domestic issues particularly when children are around. Separation between work and social life is generally considered desirable and co-location both can increase stress levels.

One of the reasons given by those wanting to escape urban living, other than the affordability of house and garden space, is a greater sense of community living.

However, many houses simply do not have a space for a dedicated office. To satisfy this growing demand there is the opportunity to provide small, intimate, local workspaces a stone’s throw away from residences in a form that is a cross between an airport lounge and a serviced office.

Facilities such as sports clubs, town and village halls often struggle to generate income when they are not being used for their primary activity, which can be as much as three quarters of the time. The facilities are generally built for a specific purpose that is not easily adapted to another use. However, changing work patterns may offer an opportunity to provide local communal office hubs available during working to people nearby who may otherwise be working from home.

Services might include:

* Office style desk space.
* A ‘lounge’ area.
* Fast internet service
* Catering facilities or services.
* Parking.

* Private meeting rooms.
* Photocopying and printing.

Cost considerations would include; utilities, internet provision, catering and cleaning, furnishings and so on.

Charges can be set by studying local furnished office facilities and charge out rates this might include:

* Basic membership per month.
* Workstation hire per day.
* Meeting room hire per hour.
* Food and beverage provision.

The resulting shift in working patterns could not only improve work/life balance and re-invigorate community facilities, it could relieve congestion in our cities and on our transport network and reduce the resulting carbon emissions.
