What is the difference between Commons, a dedicated desk, and a private office?
Commons gives you access to shared workspace in SOMA’s calm, focused setting. A dedicated desk is a reserved spot you can make your own, with lockable storage for your belongings. A private office gives you a furnished, lockable space for yourself or a small team.
