According to Gensler’s Global Workplace Survey 2025, organizations are moving away from the traditional corporate office model and seeking environments that support collaboration, adaptability, and well-being. Shared workspaces and flex offices are leading that shift — not just as a trend, but as infrastructure for the future of work.
Collaboration as a Core Value
Human interaction remains one of the top reasons employees return to the office. Gensler found that meeting, collaborating, and socializing with colleagues consistently rank among the highest workplace drivers. Unfortunately, outdated office layouts often fail to provide the proper spaces for these types of interactions.
At Woven, collaboration is built into the very fabric of the environment. From dedicated meeting rooms designed for brainstorming and presentations, to open lounge areas that encourage spontaneous interaction, the space reflects how work actually happens. These touchpoints create a rhythm of connection — structured where it needs to be, and open-ended when it matters most.
Flexibility Is the Future
The survey revealed that flexibility is no longer optional — it’s an expectation. Employees want the ability to choose where and how they work depending on their tasks and energy levels. The highest-performing workplaces are those that offer a range of settings tailored for focus, teamwork, or quick recharge moments.
Woven embodies this principle by offering multiple modes of work under one roof: private spaces for deep focus, community areas for networking, and reservable meeting spaces for teams of any size. That way, residents aren’t locked into any one way of working — they can shift seamlessly as their day demands.

Addressing Real Challenges
Of course, flexibility alone isn’t enough if the space doesn’t address the pain points employees face daily. Noise and distractions remain one of the biggest frustrations in open environments. Gensler’s research underscores that interruptions — from conversations to foot traffic — are a top productivity killer.
Woven’s design addresses these challenges with acoustically-engineered rooms and booths to offer respite from the buzz, while keeping teams connected to the energy of a shared workplace. It’s a balance of energy and privacy — community vibrance without sacrificing focus.
Future-Ready Design
Together, these trends make one thing clear: the workplace is no longer about a standard format. It’s about creating an ecosystem that supports a spectrum of needs. This is where shared workspaces and flex offices excel — and where Woven serves as a real-world example of what the future of work looks like.
Located in the heart of downtown Las Vegas, Woven offers more than just square footage — it’s a living demonstration of how purposeful design can meet shifting expectations and priorities: spaces that enable connection, empower choice, and minimize friction. For solopreneurs, growing teams, or established businesses, it’s not just about adapting to new workplace expectations — it’s about thriving within them.
Why Choose Woven
The message from Gensler’s research is unambiguous—employees are asking for work environments that are collaborative, flexible, and supportive of well-being.
Woven shows how these principles move from theory to practice. It’s not about replacing the office of the past—it’s redefining what the office can be.
