Pasig condo's coworking space boosts remote-working resident's productivity

Almost two years into the coronavirus pandemic, several companies in Metro Manila continue to implement a work-from-home arrangement for their employees. 

The work-from-home setup came to the spotlight as employers looked for alternative work arrangements amid mobility restrictions because of the global health crisis while ensuring that work deliverables expected from their employees remain unhampered.  

While this work arrangement gets the job done, the setup resulted in some unwanted disadvantages like remote workers getting fatigued from working in the same place since the pandemic started.  

Good thing for remote worker Bene Mendoza, he lives in a condominium like Lumiere Residences along Pasig Boulevard in Pasig City, which has its own coworking space facility for residents.

As a creative producer of feature films and narrative series, Bene, once in a while, needs a change of scenery to get his creative juices flowing when working on a project.

“I love the coworking space. It’s very convenient to have it here within the property. It has what I look for in a temporary workspace: quiet location, approachable staff, great aesthetics, very reliable Internet connection, and free water and coffee,” he shared. 

Bene uses the facility at the mezzanine level of Lumiere Residences’ West Tower at least once a week to do meetings; work on important tasks; or just chill out when things get stressful at work. 

“Lumiere Residences’ coworking space is very much conducive as a workplace. I use it when I need an alternative workspace and it’s been a pleasant experience so far. It’s peaceful and quiet, allowing me to focus on my tasks accordingly,” he said. 

Ideal for remote workers, freelancers, start-ups, and students, the facility which was introduced in July 2021, is equipped with a strong and stable internet connection and other essential amenities such as a virtual mailbox, photocopying machine, and printer to help users work efficiently and increase their productivity.

For a minimal usage fee, the facility with cozy interiors is equipped with a 4-seater cabin booth, fixed desks, and hot desks where residents can focus on their work and distance learning needs.

To ensure the safety of everyone, QR codes are used for user login and recording of time while users are required to practice social distancing and frequent hand sanitation while inside the facility.

Besides having a safe and comfortable alternative working space in his own condominium community, Bene is thankful to have a facility that helps him achieve a work-life balance while working from home.

“Thank you, DMCI Homes and Lumiere PMO (Property Management Office), for having this coworking space in our property! Not only you’ve given us an alternative and effective work setup, but you also helped us achieve a work-life balance by physically separating our workspace from our homes within the safe premises of the property,” Bene said.

Having helpful amenities like a coworking facility makes him all the more convinced that he made the right decision to live in the DMCI Homes community. 

"Great amenities, natural ventilations, accessible location," Bene answered when asked what made him decide to live in a DMCI Homes property.

"Though we rarely go out because of the pandemic and usually rely on delivery services for our necessities, the location is very convenient for having an array of selections around the area – from grocery stores, food selections, medical services, etc. Plus, our workplaces are within a 15-min radius," he related.

While the convenient location was his primary consideration in living in Lumiere Residences with his family, Bene is happy to be discovering more features to love about his community in this condo for sale in Pasig.

"I first visited Lumiere in early 2019 and it was an unforgettable one already. I loved the different options for swimming and the natural ventilation in common areas. Props also to the water station, Konbini convenience store, and the coffee shop," he revealed. 

"There are a lot of times that we don’t feel that we live in the metro. The wide landscape of Rizal is also a big plus! It’s literally breathtaking. Our unit is located in one of the atrium floors and I have to say it’s the best place to be located! Pleasing landscape and great ventilation," he beamed.
