If coworking was just some desks and chairs cramped into a building, you could go on working from home whilst keeping your monthly cost down, whilst going nuts.
Actually, furniture is the least important thing. People are all that counts. Sharing, thriving and laughing together – that counts.
Imagine a place to share, a place to learn from people speaking multiple languages, people working in different fields like programming, graphic design, translation, accounting, beauty, electric cars, marketing, arts … you name it.
Imagine a place to thrive, a place where others motivate you and keep you going on your way from an idea to a sustainable business.
Imagine a place to laugh, over dinners and beers on Fridays, laugh when being out in nature on weekends whilst creating strong bonds, whilst winning new friends.
Sharing, thriving and laughing together.
That’s coworking.
Growing up so close to the wilds of the South African bush is a truly unique experience, which is why our member, Johannesburg native Lauren Coppin, decided to make it the focus of her recent TGIF talk. Presenting on the sunny TLR rooftop recently, Lauren regaled the crowd with tales of the bush.
Solar energy has been a hot topic of conversation for many years now. Despite this, there are still many myths surrounding the industry. These common misconceptions are what prompted Andrés González to give his fellow TLR members an informative talk about solar energy recently, as part of our monthly TGIF event.
They may have a very similar wording, but the phrases ‘working remotely’ and ‘working from home’ are not mutually exclusive, writes TLR member Kelly O’Brien. Here, she takes us through her own experience of remote working across the globe, and explains why she will never return to a traditional 9 to 5 office-based job.
We are an international crowd of easy-going freelancers, innovative entrepreneurs and digital nomads, who share, thrive and laugh together as one big coworking family in Málaga.
… sharing: We are open people and here to help each other. We don’t google for knowledge, we tap into our skill-charged coworking community.
… thriving: By not sitting alone on a desk at home, we learn from each other and grow, both as people and businesses.
…. laughing: Social interactions keep us motivated. Although we all love what we do, doing it laughing makes it even more enjoyable.

Our spacious desks, voice and video conferencing areas, and a fast internet connection are available 24/7 (after a short trial period) in a professional, but not too corporate coworking environment. Our alarm system brings the needed security to the space and your equipment.
People tend to bring in food, home-made or take-away, and enjoy it together whilst having a good laugh. Special Columbian coffee is provided from our friends at Santa Canela.
Chat with others on relaxing sofas, read a book from a bean bag, play a match of ping pong, park your bike or work in the sun. In other words, just feel like home, like in your living room or on your terrace.
Thanks God It’s Friday, birthdays, Halloween, San Juan, Feria, Christmas, weekends … whatever the occasion is, we always find an excuse to party or take a hike around Andalucía’s beautiful flora.
Since 2015 The Living Room forms part of Málaga’s artistic neighbourhood, also known as Soho. On and from your way to the coworking space you are surrounded by impressive graffiti art works and small local businesses of all kind.
