In Brazil, the concept of 'escritório temporário' is increasingly common due to the rise of flexible work arrangements and business expansion into new markets. Companies often establish temporary offices when entering new regions or during renovation periods. In the USA and NYC, the trend has evolved into 'pop-up offices' and co-working spaces, reflecting modern business culture.
