Our comprehensive range of workspace brands, products, and services enables us to offer more choice and greater flexibility than any other competitor. And with a global network spanning thousands of locations, our workspaces can suit every type of workstyle and customer.
This document explores the many possibilities for partnering with us, starting with an overview of our extensive brand portfolio, fit-out specifications, floor plan options, and cost estimates..
Our brands offer a set of components to create a flexible workspace environment to match the needs of our customers. We combine these components together to create the best experience possible.
In each location, there is always a combination of reception, common areas and private workspaces.
Common areas: coworking, business club, kitchen
Private workspaces: offices, meeting rooms, dedicated coworking desks
Our locations can also include a dedicated cafe area which forms part of the business club.
So we created a global network of workspaces that enable people to work closer, better, faster, happier, together, and in a more agile way.
“ We expect easy access to hassle-free, reliable work environments everywhere, so our global teams can focus on work.”
We’ve made it our mission to help businesses choose a way of working that’s best for their people.

Intelligent floor planning, optimised space allocation, and a thorough understanding of how buildings are utilised is what enables our IWG locations to be successful.
Typically, we allocate locations as follows:
• Club/coworking: 5-10%
• Meeting rooms: 3-5%
• Offices: 65-75% - made up of predominantly small and medium-sized offices
• Other (e.g. corridors & event space): 10-15%
Our unsurpassed experience and expertise in the global office market enables our planners to get the best efficiency out of every project.
We split our floor plans by distinguishing into three key areas:
• Reception & coworking: Receptions are the first impression that a customer has of a location, so we typically recommend placing receptions near the entrance. In locations that have a business club and coworking area, reception is directly connected in order to provide the best service.
• Meeting rooms: The size and number of meeting rooms per location varies on the floor plan and local market
• Offices: Offices typically make up over 65% of our floor plans as they are the key revenue generator. There are many different office type and size combinations which can be used to optimise efficiency and space utilisation
We use these areas and the features of the property to create layouts which maximise earnings potential and enhance customer experience.
The next section shows a selection of example floor plans.
We divided the business club into four distinct areas to enable customers and visitors to fully enjoy the impressive views and greenery.
