The Idea
What if underused hotel and restaurant space could become flexible co-working hubs during the day?
Spacemize set out to connect:
-
Venues with idle daytime capacity
-
Remote professionals looking for affordable, short-term workspaces
The challenge wasn’t technical complexity alone — it was validating whether the business model had real-world traction.
This project was about building just enough — and building it right.
The Goal
Develop a functional MVP that would:
-
Allow venues to register and manage available space
-
Enable members to purchase daily or monthly passes
-
Provide map-based location discovery
-
Support time-slot booking
-
Enable QR-based check-in upon arrival
-
Track bookings, commissions, and usage analytics
The objective was clear:
Launch, observe, learn, iterate.
What We Built
We delivered a two-sided marketplace platform supporting both venues and members.
Venue Dashboard
-
Application and approval flow
-
Amenity configuration (Wi-Fi, coffee, chargers, etc.)
-
Booking schedule management
-
Operational reports (confirmed bookings, commissions, activity tracking)
Member Experience
-
Purchase daily or monthly passes
-
Locate available venues via interactive map
-
Book time slots
-
Check in using QR code upon arrival
Behind the scenes, the platform handled booking logic, payment workflows, scheduling conflicts, and role-based permissions.
Approach
This project followed a lean, validation-first methodology.
Instead of overbuilding:
-
Core functionality was prioritized
-
Real users were onboarded quickly
-
Feedback loops were short
-
Improvements were incremental
The system was architected for scalability — but intentionally built as an MVP to reduce risk.
Team
-
Project Manager / Business Analyst
-
UX/UI Designer
-
Backend Developer
-

A focused team with clear ownership and fast iteration cycles.
Technology Stack
Backend: ASP.NET, Web API 2, Entity Framework, C#
Frontend: Angular, TypeScript, JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3
Database: MS SQL Server
The architecture supported modular expansion if market validation succeeded.
Results
After launch:
-
Real venues onboarded
-
Real members began booking
-
User behavior data was collected
-
Product refinements were implemented
Within months, the client secured investment and transitioned further development locally.
The MVP successfully validated the concept and proved market interest.
