If money is not an object, I would suggest in floor radiant heating topped with quarry tile and area rugs. That way if you wish to change how the space is used, you can simply move rugs and furniture.

Concrete floors are often cold and clammy. Tubes of hot water running under the tiles would be nice for always warm floors. Hot air rises so it keeps the room warm from the bottom up rather than forcing hot air down against its natural flow. Quarry tiles are easy to mop up and do not require a shine. If one breaks it can be replaced without replacing the entire floor.

Having the same floor throughout the shared space is much better when the space is small and must be versatile. It will be nice to be able to turn a rug and move a couch or chair to bring in a temporary table for a bridge night or tupperware party.
