Abstract
Coworking spaces have grown to become significant in the business world, with such spaces being adopted more often by the information technology industry. However, the entertainment industry is experiencing an increase in the number of freelancers. This has led to a dearth in suitable infrastructure in the Nigerian context. Adaptability of spaces is often considered an important feature that makes the building useful for changing work environment. To what extent are such spaces compatible with their users’ requirements? Very little study exists on the extent to which adaptability strategies influence users’ perception levels in relation to compatibility within coworking and entertainment spaces, particularly in the Nigerian context. This study therefore aims at designing a coworking entertainment facility for freelancers in the entertainment industry in Lagos, Nigeria using adaptability strategies that are found to influence the level of compatibility between and within spaces positively. The study adopted a questionnaire survey and case studies of existing coworking and entertainment facilities in obtaining data on the adaptability strategies and the users’ perception of compatibility in such spaces. Compatibility looked at areas such as user’s satisfaction with spaces relating to their jobs, activities and the requirements. Quantitative data were analysed using frequencies, percentages, mean ranking and regression analyses. Qualitative data were content-analysed. Results show that the ability of spaces to accommodate users’ job requirements, while achieving a level of security and providing alternative spaces for their activities were influenced by the adaptability strategies applied by the coworking and entertainment spaces studied. Such adaptability strategies include “use of non-fixed objects”, “variety of room sizes”, “frame construction”, and others. The design adopted these adaptabilities strategies that influenced these space compatibility dimensions positively.
