Private Office, Dedicated Desk, or Coworking? What’s Right for You?

As the way we work continues to evolve, so do our workspace needs. At ThriveCo, we understand that one size doesn’t fit all—which is why we offer a variety of flexible workspace solutions designed to fit your unique work style, business needs, and budget.

Whether you're a solo entrepreneur, a growing team, or a remote worker seeking structure, choosing between a private office, a dedicated desk, or a coworking membership can feel overwhelming. Let’s break down the differences so you can confidently find the setup that helps you thrive.


🏢 Private Office: Your Own Four Walls

Best for: Small teams, consultants, founders, or anyone who needs confidentiality and focus.

A private office at ThriveCo gives you your own fully furnished space behind a locked door. It’s perfect for those who need a quiet, professional environment or frequently meet with clients. You get the best of both worlds: complete privacy when you need it and access to a vibrant community when you don’t.

What you get:

  • A fully enclosed, secure office space

  • 24/7 access to ThriveCo

  • Access to all shared amenities (kitchen, meeting rooms, lounge)

  • A professional business address in the St. Louis area

  • Customizable layout options for your team

Ideal for: Lawyers, therapists, startups, and remote executives.


💼 Dedicated Desk: Your Personal HQ Within a Shared Space

Best for: Freelancers, remote workers, creatives, or anyone who likes consistency.

With a dedicated desk, you get your own workstation in a shared office area. Unlike hot desks, your space is always yours—set it up once, and it's ready every day. You’ll enjoy the structure of a routine while still being part of a collaborative, open environment.

What you get:

  • Your own desk, chair, and storage in a shared space

  • 24/7 access

  • Access to meeting rooms and ThriveCo amenities

  • A quiet, consistent workspace with a community vibe

Ideal for: Designers, writers, developers, and solo consultants.


☕ Coworking Membership: Flexibility at Its Finest

Best for: Remote workers, digital nomads, part-timers, or anyone who prefers variety.

Coworking memberships at ThriveCo offer flexible, drop-in access to our shared workspaces. Choose where you work each day—by the window, near the coffee machine, or in a quiet corner. It's the most affordable and flexible option, perfect if you don't need a fixed desk.

What you get:

  • Access during business hours or 24/7 (depending on plan)

  • Use of any open desk in the common areas

  • Fast Wi-Fi, hot coffee, and community events

  • A built-in network of fellow professionals

Ideal for: Side hustlers, consultants on the go, and anyone escaping the home-office blues.
