Taking all this into account, working out a coworking space is a much better idea. A coworking space is no less than a corporate and has all the facilities needed for a proper workplace. Moreover, it has fun zones and organizes community events every week to vent out stress at the workplace. Coworking spaces have an informal atmosphere where people can interact with employees of other companies. This interaction will lead to the exchange of ideas and opinions wherein they can adopt good things from each other. Also interacting with others and discussing things reduces stress.

A traditional work environment usually offers dedicated space, formal timings and infrastructure. They too maintain health and safety standards. But even a good working environment and team bonding could bring in stress. Engaging with the same team or colleagues could cause discomfort or awake a sense of competition.
