Hybrid working and changing team structures are leading companies to increasingly look for workplaces that can adapt alongside their organization. Flexible office solutions are playing an ever-growing role in this. What once started as a solution for freelancers and start-ups has now developed into a fully-fledged alternative to traditional office leasing. <\/p>\n

An organization that has experienced this development up close is Element Offices. We spoke with Sam van Breukelen, Sales Manager at Element Offices, about the changing office market, their Walborg location in Amsterdam, and the future of flexible working.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t

From niche to the new standard<\/span><\/h2>\n

Flexado and Element Offices have been working together on flexible workspace solutions for more than fourteen years. During that time, the market has undergone a clear development. Whereas flexible offices were once mainly popular among start-ups and freelancers, today corporates and larger organizations are increasingly choosing flexible workspaces as well. According to Van Breukelen, hybrid working has particularly accelerated this development. \u201cCompanies want fewer long-term commitments and are looking for workspaces that can adapt to their growth or change,\u201d he explains. Where it used to be primarily a fixed workplace, it is increasingly becoming a place where teams come together, meet clients, and collaborate. \u201cMore and more companies are combining working from home with an inspiring workplace,\u201d says Van Breukelen. Flexible office locations offer various possibilities for this, such as private offices, flexible desks, meeting rooms, and virtual office addresses. \u201cAs a result, flexible offices have evolved from a niche product into a fully-fledged alternative to traditional lease agreements.\u201d <\/p>\n

At the same time, users\u2019 expectations have also changed. \u2018It\u2019s no longer just about a desk and internet,\u2019 he says. \u2018Companies are looking for a complete experience with design, hospitality, community, and high-quality facilities.\u2019 Element Offices has been focusing on exactly that combination for many years.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t

Walborg: a new perspective on office space in Amsterdam<\/span><\/h2>\n

With Walborg, Element Offices responds to a clear demand in the Amsterdam office market. According to Van Breukelen, the goal was to create more than just workplaces. \u201cWith Walborg, we wanted to establish an inspiring working environment where tranquility, greenery, and urban dynamism come together.\u201d Design, sustainability, and flexibility form the foundation, allowing companies to easily adapt their workspace to changing needs. In a competitive market such as Amsterdam, differentiation is essential. Element Offices therefore places strong emphasis on the overall work experience. \u201cOur locations are designed with great attention to interior design and atmosphere, making them feel more like a boutique hotel than a traditional office.\u201d Walborg also holds a BREEAM Outstanding certification, placing it among the most sustainable office buildings in the Netherlands. \u201cCompanies don\u2019t just rent an office with us, but a complete working environment.\u201d<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t

The power of community in the workplace<\/span><\/h2>\n

In addition to design and facilities, community is playing an increasingly important role within modern office locations. Many companies are not only looking for a workplace, but also for an environment where they become part of a network of other professionals. \u201cMany entrepreneurs appreciate becoming part of a network of ambitious companies,\u201d says Van Breukelen. At Walborg, this is encouraged through shared spaces such as The Lounge, where members can meet, collaborate, or network informally. In addition, Element Offices regularly organizes events, and companies can easily connect with other organizations within the network through the Element Offices app. \u201cThis creates a dynamic environment in which collaboration and knowledge sharing arise naturally.\u201d<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t

What companies expect from a workplace today<\/span><\/h2>\n

When choosing office space, companies nowadays consider a broader combination of factors. Flexibility is often at the top of the list. \u201cOrganizations want contracts that can adapt to their growth,\u201d says Van Breukelen.
In addition, accessibility, sustainability, and appearance play an important role. The quality of the working environment is also receiving more attention. \u201cCompanies pay more attention to good design, comfortable workspaces, strong meeting facilities, and a professional reception for visitors.\u201d At the same time, the social component is becoming more important as well. \u201cCommunity and networking opportunities are playing an increasingly significant role, because companies value an inspiring environment where collaboration and interaction are possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t

Who Walborg is designed for<\/span><\/h2>\n
Walborg primarily appeals to organizations that want to combine flexibility with a professional and representative working environment. Think of growing companies, scale-ups, family offices, financial service providers, and international teams. \u201cCompanies that regularly receive clients especially appreciate the location\u2019s appearance and hospitality,\u201d says Van Breukelen. Sustainability also plays an important role, as the building is among the most sustainable office locations in the Netherlands. <\/span><\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t

A strategic expansion in Amsterdam <\/span><\/h2>\n
With Walborg, Element Offices strengthens its network of flexible workspaces in the Netherlands. The location aligns with the strategy to develop high-quality and inspiring working environments in strategic locations. \u201cWithin our network, we want to offer entrepreneurs and companies the opportunity to work flexibly from different locations, with the same level of quality and service,\u201d says Van Breukelen. Walborg plays an important role in the Amsterdam region by combining accessibility, sustainability, and design. <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t

The future of flexible work<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n
Looking ahead, Element Offices expects office locations to continue evolving into places where collaboration, inspiration, and connection take center stage. \u201cThe office will become less of a place you are required to go to and more of a place you want to go to,\u201d says Van Breukelen. \u201cWe believe the future lies in workplaces that function like a kind of hotel for businesses: flexible, fully serviced, and focused on the success of the organizations that work there.\u201d <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t
