The flexible workspace strategy and consulting firm, Beyond Space, founded by Tudor Popp, launches “The State of Flex Office in Romania 2025” — the first study to classify how we understand, design, and measure coworking and flexible workspaces. The report offers the most detailed overview to date of Romania’s coworking and flexible office market, benchmarking it against major European hubs and highlighting emerging trends that are shaping the future of work.

Co-created with European coworking experts Pauline Roussel and Dimitar Inchev (TwoFifty Consulting), the study blends architectural insight, market analytics, and cultural research, decoding how workspaces are evolving from “offices” into experience platforms. Moreover, the study analyzes the evolution, maturity, and potential of Romania’s flex office sector — from Bucharest’s premium hubs to the fast-developing ecosystems in Cluj-Napoca, Timișoara, and Iași.

“We wanted to build a framework that helps companies, developers, and investors understand not just how much flex exists — but what kind of experience it delivers. This study is more than data; it defines a new language for the workplace. The next office revolution will be emotional, not just spatial,” says Tudor Popp, Founder of Beyond Space.

The 2025 report marks only the first phase of Beyond Space’s ongoing research program. In 2026, Phase 2 will extend the analysis with operator and user surveys, financial performance metrics, and cost–benefit benchmarks.
