How we designed an office that supports both work and rest – behind the scenes of The Shire Beyond Coworking

Working in the Rhythm of Sustainability

Environmental awareness has become more than just a trend, it’s now a genuine direction of change in business. More and more companies are asking themselves: How can we operate responsibly – towards people, the environment, and the spaces we work in? Serviced and coworking offices are increasingly becoming the answer. They naturally align with the principles of ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) and promote a more sustainable, eco-friendly way of working.

Shared Space = Smaller Carbon Footprint

The traditional office model often means unused square meters, empty meeting rooms, and wasted energy. Coworking works differently, it’s based on sharing resources. When multiple companies use the same infrastructure, kitchens, IT systems, or lighting, energy and material consumption drop significantly. The result? Less space, a smaller carbon footprint, and greater efficiency. At The Shire, we pay great attention to these aspects, our offices are designed to make the most of natural light, minimize energy waste, and create spaces that support balance and wellbeing.

Ecology in Practice: Materials, Energy, Lifestyle

Sustainable coworking is not only about technology – it’s also a philosophy of design and everyday choices.

At The Shire, we focus on: • Eco-friendly materials – natural wood, glass, and durable finishes that age gracefully instead of requiring frequent replacement. • Energy-efficient solutions – LED lighting and smart HVAC systems that respond to occupancy. • Green zones – plants that purify the air, improve wellbeing, and reduce stress. • A sustainable lifestyle – access to public transport, bicycle racks, and spaces for relaxation and regeneration.

Each of these elements makes daily work more mindful, comfortable, and balanced.

The Social Dimension of Coworking

ESG is not only about the “E” for environment. It’s also about the “S” – the social side of work.

Coworking creates environments where people meet, collaborate, and support one another. It’s a community – not just an office. At The Shire, we regularly organize events, gatherings, and initiatives that connect people. This way, every member becomes part of something bigger – a community that inspires responsibility, creativity, and cooperation.

Transparency and Ethics in Space Management

The final pillar of ESG – “G” for governance – represents transparency, ethics, and accountability in business. The serviced office model naturally supports this approach: instead of rigid, long-term leases, it offers clear terms, transparent costs, and hands-on operational support. At The Shire, we ensure that every aspect of our operations – from client service to building management – aligns with the values of responsible business.

The Future of Work Is Green

Sustainability isn’t an addition to the office – it’s the new standard. Coworking and serviced offices like The Shire prove that comfort, flexibility, and care for the planet can go hand in hand. Shared spaces, smart solutions, and conscious communities are shaping the future of work. Because a truly modern office is one that cares – for people and for the world we live in.

Events and Meetings!

In a world where the pace of work is accelerating and teams increasingly blend in-office and hybrid modes, there is a growing need for spaces that not only offer comfortable office rentals but also create the perfect environment for meetings, workshops, and corporate events. That’s exactly what The Shire – Beyond Coworking is.

A Serviced Office with Soul and Purpose – More Than Just a Workplace

The Shire is a modern network of coworking spaces that combines the flexibility of a serviced office with a unique atmosphere and design tailored to the needs of today’s businesses. Every location – whether in Warsaw, Kraków, or Wrocław – offers not only fully equipped private offices for companies but also communal areas and conference rooms ready to host your next event.

AI Collective at The Shire Infinity – Energy, Knowledge, and Networking

Our spaces are also chosen by organizers of tech events – including the recent AI Collective held at The Shire Infinity in Wrocław. This gathering of artificial intelligence and innovation enthusiasts drew participants from all over Poland. As one of the organizers put it: “Wrocław – you brought the energy and we brought the content.” And indeed – it was an event full of great energy, insightful content, and inspiring conversations.

Importantly, our common areas played a key role – proving to be the perfect setting for forming both personal connections and business relationships. That’s where the most interesting conversations happened after the panels, where business cards were exchanged, and informal chats over coffee took place.

Hosting a training session, board meeting, product presentation, or creative brainstorming session? No matter the nature of your event, at The Shire you’ll find a space that supports your goals – and naturally fosters team bonding and collaboration.

Just a few years ago, coworking was mainly associated with startups, freelancers, and digital nomads. Today, that image is changing rapidly. More and more large, global companies are reserving desks and offices in coworking spaces like The Shire – Beyond Coworking.

Why Do Corporations Choose Coworking | Serviced Offices?

1. Flexibility Without Long-Term Commitments
Instead of locking into a long-term lease, you can choose a model that truly fits your needs. Flexible rental terms allow you to adapt your office space to your company’s evolving situation — without the risk or multi-year obligations.
What’s more, if you’re just starting to build your team or aren’t yet sure how many employees you’ll need at the beginning, a serviced office is the perfect solution. You can start with just a few workstations and add more as you grow — no stress, no relocations, no complications.

2. Proximity to Employees – Distributed Offices Across Cities
You don’t need to have a branch in every city to stay close to your team. Coworking allows employees to work locally — no need for relocation or losing hours in daily commutes.

3. Fully Equipped Infrastructure
High-speed internet, reception, mail handling, cleaning service, technical support, printers, meeting rooms, coffee/tea/water — it’s all ready to go. Companies don’t have to organize it themselves or manage the office.

4. Employee Satisfaction and Loyalty
The ability to work from an inspiring space close to home is a true benefit — it genuinely improves work-life balance, boosts satisfaction, and reduces turnover.

5. A Greener Choice – Fewer Commutes, Smaller Offices
Smaller central offices combined with local coworking spaces mean lower energy consumption and reduced CO₂ emissions — a growing priority for corporations aligning with ESG strategies.

Coworking as Part of a Modern Work Strategy

A modern work strategy is not just about home or office — it’s about the entire ecosystem. Coworking perfectly fills the gap between the two, supporting mobility, cost-efficiency, and organizational culture all at once.

Corporations are turning to coworking because they understand that flexibility is no longer a privilege — it’s the new standard. And The Shire – Beyond Coworking offers more than desks — it delivers a whole community, a way of working, and an atmosphere you won’t find in a traditional office building.
