Studio22 is looking to change how small businesses co-habitate

This new flexible shared workspace aggregator in San Juan is offering coworking basics and more.

In what may be a small victory in favor of work-life balance, a new coworking space has set up shop in a surf town in La Union, putting a reliable workplace within reach of many of the area’s beaches.

Studio22 opened in San Juan, La Union, giving La Union’s locals, transplants, and passersby a shared office space with high-speed Wi-Fi, a coffee/tea/juice station, and spacious desks with power sockets, among other things.

Located in Urbiztondo, near the town’s border with San Fernando, Studio22 is in front of a surfing beach, and also a 5-minute jeepney or tricycle ride away from San Juan’s main surfing area, so those who want to catch some waves in between getting their work done can easily do so – especially with Studio22’s shower rooms and lockers.

The office also has a conference room for rent, big enough to fit about 10 people, and equipped with a smart TV.

At first glance, the space looks like your run-of-the-mill coworking space with its plain white and brick walls, wood-and-metal furniture, and modern decor.

'Co-living'

But as Founder Renz Quiros said, he designed the space to be more than the typical shared workplace. Because of its location – that is, in a town rising on the tourist radar – Studio22 also offers packages that include accommodations and activities, a one-stop shop, if you will, for digital nomads making their way to La Union. Renz calls it “co-living.”
