Event space currently includes art galleries, restaurants and marine clubs. Knight says Auckland's Redwoods Treehouse restaurant often uses the site when business is slow.
An advertising executive by day and entrepreneur by night, creator Matt Knight said it is a simple idea, which benefits both parties.
It was three years ago when Knight's inspiration struck. After watching the recession eat-up most of his colleagues' jobs, leaving behind only their empty desks, he decided there must be a good way to use the leftover space.
Today, when he looks around the office he sees desks filled with the 18 other companies who share this space.
The trend has crossed the world to New York, AirBNB.com an American house-sharing website was based on a similar concept.
This may be the next step for Sharedspace, which already lists industrial space, car parks and pop-up shops.
Knight said the possibilities of what could be listed are endless-lawnmowers, cars and dogs. The listing stays active for half a year, and fees range from $59-$199 depending on the listing package.
