What should have a good coworking space?
The first coworking spaces registered were opened in San Francisco in 2005. Since then, not only have they proliferated all over the world but they have evolved a lot.
This is what a good coworking space must offer today:
• Design. It is most proven: when the space is bright, orderly and welcoming, we produce more and better. A good decoration is the key to going to the office with more enthusiasm.
• Equipment and services: wifi, meeting rooms, kitchen, bathrooms, showers, sofas, reception, cleaning ... The list should be extensive and of quality.
• Networking. Not only is it enough to work, you also have to save time to socialize and make contacts that could become new partners or clients. The most advanced coworking spaces know this and for that reason they organize afterwork activities quite frequently.
Specialized coworkings and for artists in Barcelona
Another trend that has been pointed out not a few coworking centers in Barcelona is specialization. That is, in the creation of true hubs of interdisciplinary knowledge within a specific sector: fashion, engineering, design ...
An architect, for example, will surely need to work with an interior designer and a photographer, among others. So ... why not work all together in the same space to save costs and take advantage of new job opportunities?
These are some of the specialized coworking spaces in Barcelona with more personality:
Coworkings for photographers
• The aforementioned Camaleó Coworking, focused on photography, video and design, for example, has material to rent in addition to different sets and an ideal terrace to carry out the recording sessions.
Coworkings for designers: co-sewing
• On the other hand, the Muchafibra workshop, is at the same time a coworking and a dressmaking academy with an agenda full of sewing courses.
• Something different, the Lantoki one invites professional fashion designers to use their space to teach their own workshops and classes. This project also embraces the fashion of co-sewing, that is, something like "collective sewing" with the rent of space and the necessary tools to carry out the creation of pieces. As an extra, in addition, in the Lantoki they have a shop in which the pieces made are sold.
How much does a coworking space cost?
Currently in Barcelona you can find coworking spaces from 150 euros to 300 or 400 monthly depending on the services and additional activities.
