Boost Your Productivity: Hidden Features of Our ADGM Coworking Space

They don’t put this one in the brochure, but the real magic starts on your third week—when you accidentally discover the “quiet floor.”

I was on a deadline, tearing my hair out because the main floor sounded like the New York Stock Exchange on steroids. I took the elevator one floor up “just to think,” and walked into what felt like a library designed by Apple. Dimmed lights, noise-cancelling pods that look like something out of a sci-fi movie, and—get this—an actual scent diffuser pumping “focus blend” (bergamot and cedarwood, apparently). I finished a 40-page investor memo in four hours. Four. Hours.

That was a hidden feature number one.

Number two is the nap room everybody pretends they don’t use. It’s disguised as “Wellness Room 3,” but we all know. Blackout curtains, zero-gravity recliners, and a white-noise machine that sounds like you’re sleeping inside a cloud. I once woke up from a 20-minute power nap to find a Post-it on my chest from the community team: “Welcome back, legend.” They even dimmed the lights for me.

Then there are the phone booths. Not the fancy glass ones everyone photographs—those are always booked. I’m talking about the secret one tucked behind the printers on the 17th floor. It has perfect acoustics, a whiteboard wall, and—crucially—no line. I closed my seed round standing in that booth, pacing like a maniac while the investor on the other end thought I was in a proper office.

The real productivity ninja move, though? The “focus hours” nobody enforces but everyone respects. From 8–10 a.m. every weekday, the main floor goes library-quiet. Laptops closed-lid if you’re not typing, no calls outside the booths, no “quick chats.” The first time I experienced it, I thought the Wi-Fi died. Nope—just grown-ups getting things done.

And finally, the coffee machine that nobody talks about because we’re afraid they’ll limit it. Floor 19, far corner, ask the barista for a “founder’s cortado.” It’s a triple shot with a dash of oat milk and some kind of performance mushroom extract. Tastes like regret and ambition. I once wrote an entire grant application in 45 minutes after two of those. Do not operate heavy machinery.

These little secrets aren’t accidents. The community team watches how we work, then quietly adds things. Someone complained about neck pain → standing desks appeared overnight. Too many Zoom backgrounds looked boring → they installed a green screen booth with Abu Dhabi skyline backdrops.

The space doesn’t just give you a desk and fast Wi-Fi. It studies you, anticipates what you’ll need next week, and builds it before you even ask. That’s why my output doubled the moment I stopped fighting the space and started letting it parent me a little.
