About us

We’re on an evidence-based mission to demonstrate that workspace can be beautiful, functional, and better for ourselves and the planet. Zero greenwash. We’re also driven by a belief that your companies are made up of people with deep skillsets and an increasing desire to leave a positive imprint. Where we can help that happen, we will. But above all our promise is that Koba will be a wonderful place to work, whether you’re a team of two or two hundred.

    Wellbeing is at the heart of Koba, and earlier this week at 100 Barbirolli Square, our residents got a refreshing boost with a Feast & Flow pop-up! Feast & Flow is on a mission to weave wellness into daily life - one person, one community, one workplace at a time. At Koba, we're all about promoting a healthier, happier workspace and these fresh juices and smoothies went down a treat with our residents 🥒🫚🍎

Their commitment to genuine community and sustainability is inspiring. At Koba, we’re also dedicated to reducing our environmental impact and knowing that other operators in our sector are ‘walking the walk’ is encouraging.

    It's said that having plants in a workspace reduces stress, boosts creativity and enhances mood - at Koba 100 Barbirolli, we have over 300 of them, and yes they're all real! Since working at Koba, I’ve realised how much greenery changes a space. It’s not just about looking nice, these plants help purify the air, reduce allergens, and create a more calming, focused environment🌱✨ I wanted to create a video highlighting some of our plants and capture a few of my favorite spots, including The Oasis—our little tech-free sanctuary. If you ever needed proof that plants make a workspace better, here it is! 🍃💚
