Customer Profile
Placed just outside the
main coworking spaces
on each floor, HAVENS
provide members with a
convenient space for
private phone calls.
A COVE, adjacent to the
main-level coworking
space, features a member
wall, which attracts people
seeking out new connections.
Two large coworking spaces each offer a distinct vibe.
Outfitted with external monitors and plenty of easy-to-
access electrical outlets, this second-floor HIVE invites
people to sit down and focus, while the main-level
coworking space is more social.
IMPACT HUB SEATTLE LANDSCAPE
Multifunctional spaces are key to supporting a
coworking environment, so Impact Hub Seattle
worked with Herman Miller to create a landscape
that’s functional enough to support coworking
for a variety of members and flexible enough
to host events.

tactics to facilitate member connections. Intake
interviews surface the types of people each new
member is interested in meeting and result in two
or three such connections made on the member’s
first day on site. A hosting team serves as the
connectors-in-residence, as adept at making
introductions as they are at answering logistical
questions. And an online member directory is in
the works that will create a database of all 600-
plus Impact Hub Seattle members, searchable by
interests or skill sets.
The functional workspace that makes the Hub
so attractive to new members also does its part
to facilitate community. Occupying two stories of
a former residential furniture showroom on the
fringes of downtown, Impact Hub Seattle offers
members a variety of work settings optimized for
flexibility and choice.
“In terms of the way the space is configured, I always
think about collaboration as the default and privacy
as an easy option,” said Brian Howe, Impact Hub
Seattle CEO. “Having furniture that is highly durable
but also flexible and can meet the current demands
of any given space is really important. We actually
get quite a high level of feedback from people
saying, ‘I love that the space is always changing.’”
The space is poised for its biggest change yet in
2014. An expansion into the building next door will

two-level PLAZA, known
as “The Triangle,” for
impromptu meetings.
During events, it provides
reception or overflow space.
