🪴 Why Independent Coworking Spaces Are the Future (and Why You’ll Love It at Area)
Coworking has come a long way since the days of hot desks and instant coffee. What started as a practical solution for freelancers has turned into a global movement — and with so many options now, finding the right coworking space can feel like online dating.
Do you want something sleek and anonymous, or warm and full of personality?
At Area, we’re proudly in the second camp.
The Rise of Independent Coworking
In a world of cookie-cutter offices, independent coworking spaces really stand out. They’re human-sized, community-led, and often rooted in their neighbourhoods — places where people actually know each other’s names (and dogs).
Freelancers, startups and remote workers are realising that the best coworking spaces don’t just rent you a desk — they give you belonging, calm, and a bit of joy in your workday.
What Makes Area Different
We’re an independent, design-led coworking space in the heart of Delicias, Madrid. That means we can keep things personal, flexible and a little fun — without layers of corporate nonsense.
Here’s what our members love most:
Community without the cringe. You can chat in the kitchen, join events, or just do your thing — no forced networking or awkward icebreakers.
Design that makes you want to stay. Natural light, beautiful furniture, and that feeling that someone actually thought about the space (because we did).
Proper coffee. Enough said.
A human touch. You’ll always deal directly with us — Hugo and Jack — not a faceless team.
Real People, Real Work
Our members are a mix of freelancers, small companies, and remote workers from all over. Some come every day, others pop in a few times a month — but all of them share the same thing: a desire to work somewhere that feels good.
We’ve built Area around that idea. Because if you’re spending most of your week in one place, it should be somewhere that makes you feel inspired (and not like you’re counting down to Friday).
Come See for Yourself
We always invite new people to come for a free trial day — no strings attached, just bring your laptop, make yourself a coffee, and get a feel for the place.
We think you’ll love it here.
And if you don’t, at least you’ll have had a great coffee and met Rufi, our unofficial head of vibes 🐶
