Coworking for People Who Hate Coworking (Yes, We Exist)

Let’s be real: Coworking is not for everyone.
You’ve probably tried one of those big-name coworking spaces before. At first, it sounds great — unlimited coffee, cool furniture, community vibes. But five minutes in, you’re dodging ping-pong balls, hearing five Zoom calls at once, and wondering if anyone in the “quiet zone” actually understands the concept of silence.
🙅♀️ Why Some People Don’t Like Coworking
It’s not that you hate being around people — you just hate the wrong kind of coworking.
Here’s what turns people off:
Constant noise: Background chatter, phone calls, loud music
Forced networking: "Community" that feels more like social pressure
Distractions everywhere: Events in the lounge, dogs in the kitchen, random conversations when you’re on deadline
No personal space: Oversold memberships = no seats, no peace, no boundaries
If your idea of a perfect workday includes focus, comfort, and maybe a friendly hello (not a group icebreaker), you’re not being difficult — you’re just not the coworking chain target demographic.
🌿 So...What If There Was Another Option?
That’s where we come in.
At ZED, we’ve created a different kind of coworking space — one designed for people who thought they didn’t like coworking.
Here’s what makes us different:
Quiet by default – No music blaring, no chaos. Just peace.
Small and cozy – Think more “coffeehouse calm” than “open office arena”
Clean, comfortable, and distraction-free – The kind of space that helps you breathe and focus
Respectful community – Everyone values the same vibe: calm, considerate, and chill
No pressure to socialize – Come to work. Chat if you want. Leave when you’re done.
We’ve had so many new members say things like:
“I didn’t think coworking was for me...until I found this place.”
And that’s the best compliment we could ever get.
