5 Inspiring Workspaces from Around the World 🌍

Hey friends,

Lately, I've been reflecting on how much our surroundings shape the way we feel and work.

Ever notice how a beautiful space can completely change your mood? There's something magical about working in a space that just gets it—where the design makes you feel both inspired and at ease.

With so many cool co-working spots popping up all over the world, it's hard not to be a little obsessed with how design impacts our productivity (and sanity, let’s be real).

Beautiful, thoughtfully designed spaces aren’t just nice to look at — they genuinely influence how we show up in our work and daily lives.

And with the rise of remote work, the lines between life and work have blurred more than ever, making it even more important to choose inspiring places to stay productive and creative.

So, let’s take a virtual trip to check out five of the most stunning workspaces around the globe. And who knows? You might just pick up a little inspo for your own space.

Let’s dive in!👇

1.Crew Collective & Café, 📍Montreal, Canada

Imagine this: You walk into a space that was once a grand 1920s bank, and now it’s a co-working haven and a café. Yes, please!

With 50-foot vaulted ceilings and stunning architecture, it’s like stepping back in time—only now, there’s a coffee in hand and a cozy workspace calling your name.

Local architect Henri Cleinge worked some serious magic here by turning old bank teller counters into natural partitions, and using sleek glass walls to create workspaces that feel open and airy without losing any of that historic charm.

The result? A place where history and modern design meet to create an inspiring environment for work and connection.

2. Andwork Shibuya, 📍Tokyo, Japan

If you’re looking for a workspace that’s equal parts creative and fun, Andwork in Shibuya is your spot. Nestled in one of Tokyo’s trendiest neighborhoods, this place is more than just a workspace — it’s a whole vibe.

Whether you’re looking to get creative, grab a drink, or just meet up with some friends (and maybe do a little work), andwork has you covered. (Also, how great is the name? Love a clever pun!)

The best part? It’s located inside a boutique hotel, which means you get all the perks you never knew you needed — nap rooms, shower services, and those cozy hotel vibes while you work.

If you’re a member, you can sneak in a power nap or freshen up with a quick shower between meetings. It’s like having the comfort of a hotel wrapped into your everyday office.

And if you’re loving the concept, good news — they’ve got six other amazing locations across Japan, from The Millennials Shibuya in Tokyo to The Lively Hakata in Fukuoka.

No matter which one you pick, you’re getting that same stylish, flexible workspace that makes you feel like you’re on a mini retreat, even when you’re deep in work mode.

3.NeueHouse Bradbury📍Los Angeles, California

Okay, next let’s talk about NeueHouse Bradbury in downtown LA.

If you’re into spaces that blend old-school charm with modern flair, this place is a total gem.

Walking into NeueHouse feels like stepping onto the set of a classic film. Designed by architect Sumner Hunt and completed in 1893, the Bradbury Building exudes an incredible mix of historical elegance and contemporary style.

Think stunning wrought-iron railings, vintage birdcage elevators, and grand Italian marble staircases — all framed by a 50-foot-high skylit atrium.

Spanning a magnificent 25,000 square feet across the entire second floor, this coworking space sits inside the oldest commercial building in Los Angeles, which is as iconic as it gets.

And it’s not just about looks.

This place has everything you could dream of: a café/bar that's open from morning till night, a cool communal gallery, a wellness room, and plenty of flexible studios. It’s perfect for diving into work or just relaxing with a coffee.

Anwar Mekhayech from DesignAgency says it best: “The NeueHouse model blends the idea of hospitality, social club, and workspace all into one, requiring a refined and sophisticated environment that’s conducive to the tastes of creative professionals.”

4. The Work Project 📍Hong Kong

Alright, let’s talk about The Work Project in Hong Kong—this place takes the idea of a typical office and flips it on its head.

Located in the heart of Causeway Bay, it’s 33,000 square feet of pure, innovative design spread over four floors.

With 74 private offices (fitting anywhere from two to twelve people) and 80 hot desks, this space really knows how to cater to both small teams and solo workers alike.

What I love about this space is how it draws inspiration from the area’s waterfront heritage.

The meeting rooms? They have these beautiful timber canopies, and there’s a mix of metal and frosted glass to let in natural light without sacrificing privacy.

Plus, shared spaces like lounges, work bars, and Bean Tables (which are basically these cool, curved communal tables) encourage you to meet and mingle while still getting stuff done.

It’s designed to make those spontaneous "hey, let’s collaborate" moments happen naturally.

The cherry on top? A stunning vertical garden by Patrick Blanc, a botanical pioneer.

In a city that’s known for its towering skyscrapers and busy streets, it’s such a refreshing way to bring a little bit of nature indoors.

Oh, and here’s the kicker—the whole place is a multi-sensory experience.

Everything, from the music and scent to the furniture and even the refreshments, has been carefully curated to boost productivity.

And if that’s not enough, they’ve also nailed the hospitality game.

Many of their services are curated by ex-hoteliers, so you know they’re serious about making this a place where you can work and feel pampered at the same time.

5. WeWork Weihai Lu📍Shanghai, China

Last but definitely not least, let’s talk about the stunning WeWork on Weihai Lu in Shanghai.

If you’ve ever worked remotely, chances are you’ve set foot in a WeWork before—but trust me, this one is something special.

Located in Shanghai’s Jing'An district, this 5,500 square foot space has a pretty wild backstory.

What started as an opium factory in the 1930s later became an artist’s residence in the 2000s, and today, it’s been totally transformed into one of the most stylish WeWork branches you’ll ever see.

The design is a collaboration between LineHouse and WeWork’s own design team, and the result is a space that’s full of surprises.

It’s playful, bold, and takes you on a bit of an unexpected design journey.

Think whimsical touches, festive vibes, and a lot of personality.

Trust me, it’s as cool as it sounds.

One of the highlights? A vibrant green steel staircase that twists its way through the building. It’s clad in triangular oak pieces with one side painted in shades of blue, creating a gradient that shifts as you walk around.

One moment, you’re looking at warm wood tones, and the next, it’s all cool blues.

It’s like walking through a piece of art—playful, unique, and totally unforgettable.

After exploring these five incredible spaces, one thing is clear: the environments we choose to work in can have a huge impact on how we feel, think, and create.

Whether it's the history embedded in the architecture or the clever design choices that enhance comfort and productivity, these workspaces are prime examples of how thoughtful design goes beyond aesthetics—it shapes our mindset and the work we do.

Now that we’ve explored these incredible workspaces, I’d love to hear from you!
