Some people may be reluctant to try a coworking environment. They might imagine it being too loud or too open or too casual. Yet Lumicre takes the different needs of various professionals into account when we design our coworking spaces. In the coworking spaces we design, tenants find shared offices, private offices, and even standing-only spaces.
We understand that some people appreciate higher levels of social interaction. As a result, we create gathering spaces where people can enjoy each other’s company. On the other hand, some people want more privacy. Yet even the most social people also need quiet space for from time to time for meetings, phone calls, and other reasons.
Consequently, we design our Houston coworking spaces to meet a wide range of needs. Specifically, your tenants have access to find shared work areas where they can mingle along with meeting rooms for much-needed privacy. Yet on top of functionality, we don’t neglect aesthetics.

Based on the importance of community with the coworking sector, we hire community managers for coworking spaces. But what type of people do we look for? There are several characteristics of successful coworking community managers. Firstly, these people need to love the space itself. Secondly, they should be passionate about people. They need to enjoy being around people and enjoy connecting with others.
Also, community managers should have a willingness to do any job, no matter how small, in order to keep the coworking community running smoothly. At the same time, a good community manager needs to be someone who works well independently and doesn’t require a lot of supervision. They need to be self-motivated problem solvers who can get things done.
Since coworking revolves around the community, you need a community manager to bring the community together. And although the people in your coworking space may work for the same companies or on the same projects, this way of working is still collaborative. As a result, we search for the type of people who embody all the above. We look for community managers who will make coffee, but who can also make conversation and help everyone feel like they belong to a community.
