Spaces

Spaces is an international flexible-workspace and coworking brand that combines thoughtfully designed offices with a vibrant community, serving everyone from freelancers and startups to global enterprises. The brand positions itself around creativity and collaboration, describing its environments as crafted to "elevate your work and spark new ideas." Its product range spans private offices for individuals, small teams, and large teams; dedicated desks; coworking day passes and hourly coworking; meeting rooms, boardrooms, conference rooms, and collaboration rooms; training rooms, event spaces, and interview rooms; full-floor offices and entire buildings; virtual offices and registered business addresses; call answering; and an All Access membership giving seamless entry to a global network of locations. It also offers specialized spaces such as beauty and wellness suites and medical offices, plus workplace recovery and enterprise all-access options. Beyond physical space, Spaces markets enterprise-grade workplace technology: private internet and network solutions, data storage and server space, dedicated on-site IT support, network security with custom firewalls and access controls, and spaces engineered for technical teams and secure workloads. The brand organizes its offering by company size — freelancers and individuals, startups and scaleups, small and medium enterprises, national businesses, international businesses, and global enterprises — and by industry, including professional services, financial services, healthcare, technology, transport and logistics, and industrial sectors. A Spaces mobile app supports booking and service management on the go. Spaces is part of IWG plc, the international workplace group whose portfolio also includes Regus and other flexible-workspace brands. The brand operates a global network of locations and sells through online quotes, centre tours, and direct online booking for meeting rooms, day passes, and memberships. Its identity is design-led and community-oriented, differentiating it within the IWG family as the more creative, hospitality-flavored coworking proposition aimed at people and companies that "love to create."

Spaces was founded in Amsterdam in 2006 by Martijn Roordink and Frederique Keuning as a coworking and flexible-office concept built around design and community. It grew as an independent European coworking operator before being acquired by IWG plc (then Regus Group), which integrated it into its global flexible-workspace portfolio alongside Regus and other brands. Under IWG ownership, Spaces expanded internationally, opening design-led centres in major cities and positioning itself as the group's more creative, hospitality-influenced coworking brand. The brand broadened its product range over time from core coworking and private offices to a full suite of workplace services: meeting and event spaces, virtual offices and registered business addresses, call answering, workplace recovery, and specialized spaces such as beauty and wellness suites and medical offices. It also developed enterprise-grade technology offerings, including private internet and network solutions, data storage and server space, dedicated on-site IT support, and network security with custom firewalls and access controls. Spaces organizes its solutions by company size and by industry, and supports booking through online quotes, centre tours, and direct online reservations for meeting rooms, day passes, and memberships, as well as a mobile app. As part of IWG plc, it operates within a global network of flexible-workspace locations.
