The fourth type of office space is socialization, which is designed for the work place to provide a place where you can escape and mingle with other co-workers, or even clients.

In this work space it is designed to provide multiple places to sit, large tables, possibly TVs, and in a kitchen setting there could be a fridge, and a microwave that helps provide and establish a comfortable environment.
