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.
