Why Elk Audio Left Its Traditional Office for Embassy House Medborgarplatsen
When people think about coworking spaces, they often picture freelancers, startups, or small teams taking their first steps.
Elk Audio's story is a little different.
The Stockholm-based audio technology company already had its own office. But when the team began evaluating what they needed from their workplace, they chose to move into Embassy House Medborgarplatsen instead.
For a company of eight people developing cutting-edge software for the global music technology industry, it wasn't about finding more space. It was about finding a smarter way to work.
A Stockholm Company Powering Modern Music Technology
Founded in Stockholm, Elk Audio develops advanced software that helps manufacturers create high-performance musical instruments and professional audio products.
The company's technology is designed for real-time audio processing, enabling musicians and creators to work with the responsiveness and reliability that modern music production demands. Today, Elk Audio's solutions are used by manufacturers developing products for musicians around the world.
From their new base at Medborgarplatsen, the team continues to build technology that sits at the intersection of software engineering, creativity, and innovation.
Rethinking the Traditional Office
For many growing companies, renting a private office is seen as the natural next step.
But traditional offices also come with responsibilities. Managing internet providers, cleaning, office equipment, meeting spaces, visitor reception, coffee, maintenance, fire safety, adhering to workplace regulations and countless practical details can take time and energy away from the work that matters most.
Elk Audio chose a different approach.
By moving into Embassy House Medborgarplatsen, the team retains its own dedicated workspace while gaining access to a fully serviced office environment in one of Stockholm's most connected and vibrant neighbourhoods.
Why Established Teams Are Choosing Coworking
The coworking industry has evolved significantly over the past decade. Today, many companies use coworking spaces not because they need a desk, but because they want flexibility, convenience, and a better overall workplace experience.
For teams like Elk Audio, a modern coworking space offers the best of both worlds:
A dedicated office for the entire team
Professional meeting rooms
Reception and visitor services
Shared amenities and common areas
Flexible agreements
A central Stockholm location
Day-to-day support from an on-site team
It allows businesses to enjoy the benefits of a professional office without having to manage every aspect of it themselves.
“What surprised us most about Embassy House wasn't the building or the location, though both are excellent! It was the atmosphere. You actually get to know the other companies here. It feels genuinely human in a way most coworking spaces don't, probably because it's kept at the right size. There's always something happening, and that energy feeds into our own work. Compared to running our own office, it's a completely different experience; everything is handled for us, and the whole team can stay focused on what actually matters for our company."
- Justine Reverdell, CEO of Elk Audio
