Working from home seemed like the ideal setup at first, but for many freelancers, remote employees and business owners, the reality of lone working has set in. Spending day after day staring at the same four walls, without a colleague to chat with or a proper change of scenery, can leave you feeling isolated, uninspired and constantly distracted by household chores.

At the same time, taking on a long, expensive office lease just doesn’t make sense if it’s just you or a tiny team.

That is why so many people are making the switch to shared workspaces. At Oak House, we’ve seen a steady stream of local professionals looking for a friendly, hassle-free environment where they can get out of the house, be around other people and get things done without being tied down by long contracts.

One of the biggest benefits of moving away from lone working is the natural human connection it brings back into your week. A quick chat by the kettle or a shared lunch break in our communal areas can make a world of difference to your mindset.

You get all the social perks of working in a bustling office but with complete freedom over your schedule.

You also don’t have to worry about utility bills, maintenance or cleaning, everything is completely taken care of for you. You simply show up, pick your spot, plug in and enjoy a productive day.

Located in St John’s with convenient on-site parking, Oak House makes it easy to leave the isolation of home working behind and join a supportive local community.
