As a result of the collaboration with the coworking brand Cloudworks, the Catalan architecture firm Elastiko Architects devised the creation of a workspace in an old office building from the 70s in Barcelona's Eixample.

Cloudworks Sant Joan occupies two floors of the building, the 7th floor which is organized around a central "open office" space and the 10th floor, where team offices coexist with shared spaces. Open spaces are projected in front of the traditional offices, allowing visual connections.
