Coworking phone booth: an amenity that pays for itself.
A quiet place to take a call is the first thing coworking residents ask about. A Silentbox booth answers that — and with the Cloud model it becomes a revenue stream: app-based unlocking, pay-per-hour billing, running 24/7 with zero staff.

A phone booth in a coworking space: amenity or business
At one coworking table sit a developer on a daily stand-up, a recruiter mid-interview and a founder on an investor call — and they all disturb each other. Booths with 35 dB of insulation dissolve the conflict: calls happen behind a closed door while the shared floor stays quiet. For the operator it's a sales argument too — "we have somewhere to take a call" has long been a baseline expectation of residents.
The Cloud model goes further and makes the booth profitable: a guest unlocks the door through the app and pays per hour via Apple Pay or Google Pay, while the booth runs around the clock with no front desk involved. Silentbox operates on a revenue-share basis, so the incentives align. Cloud booths already run this way at El Corte Inglés in Lisbon and Lexidy in Barcelona — with 200+ people a day passing by, the investment pays back in 6 months.
What coworking pods give the operator
35 dB insulation
Certified to ISO 11957, Class A: a conversation is inaudible one meter away. The resident gets guaranteed privacy, the neighbouring desks get silence.
Cloud: pay-per-hour
App-based unlocking, payment via Apple Pay or Google Pay, per-hour billing. The booth earns 24/7 — no reception desk, no keys.
ROI from 6 months
With 200+ people a day, a Cloud booth returns the investment in half a year. Revenue-share with Silentbox — we only earn together with you.
Installation without renovation
From 2 hours and the booth is live. No drilling, no dust, no landlord approvals: the coworking space never closes, not even for a day.
Comfort under heavy use
Ventilation at 250–600 m³/h with a presence sensor: the air refreshes every 2–3 minutes even when the booth is occupied all day long.
Scales with your network
500+ installations in 30+ countries, production in 3–6 weeks, delivery in 10–25 days. Opening a new location — the booths arrive before launch day.
How coworking booths work through the day
A resident's call
A regular member takes the booth for 30 minutes for a stand-up or a client call. The shared floor stays quiet, and the resident stops hunting for a free meeting room.
Cloud rental by the minute
A guest without a membership scans a code, pays with Apple Pay and talks as long as needed. The booth monetises foot traffic that used to simply walk past.
An interview or negotiation
The Duet with its two-seat table is a mini meeting room for interviews, client meetings or mentoring sessions. Booked the same way — through the app.
The night shift
A freelancer with an 11 p.m. call to San Francisco doesn't need an administrator: a Cloud booth opens with the app and runs 24/7 with zero staff.
Silentbox booths for a coworking space
From a call booth to a four-seat meeting pod — every model ships with ventilation, LED lighting and a 220V outlet. Any of them can join Cloud.
Frequently asked questions about booths for coworking
How does the Cloud model work for a coworking space?
The booth connects to the Silentbox Cloud platform: the user unlocks the door through the app and pays per hour via Apple Pay or Google Pay. The booth runs 24/7 without staff, and revenue is split on a revenue-share basis. Live examples already run at El Corte Inglés in Lisbon and Lexidy in Barcelona.
When does a Cloud booth pay for itself?
With traffic of 200+ people a day — in roughly 6 months. The key factor is location footfall: the more people pass the booth, the faster it turns profitable. We'll send a payback model built on your numbers together with the quote.
Buying or renting — which suits a coworking space better?
It depends on the horizon. Buying, backed by the 10/5/3 warranty, wins for stable locations. Booth rental is a separate option for testing demand or short-term projects. The Cloud model with revenue-share is the third path — the booth earns on its own.
How many booths does a coworking space need?
A benchmark: one booth per 15–20 residents, plus one Duet per 40–50 for meetings. Start with two or three — the first month's booking stats will show the real demand, and orders of 5+ booths qualify for package terms. A rule of thumb for a phone booth coworking space: one booth per 15–20 desks, then add by real demand.
Can the booths survive all-day heavy use?
Yes, they're built for it. Ventilation at 250–600 m³/h refreshes the air every 2–3 minutes, and a presence sensor switches light and airflow on automatically. Warranty: 10 years on the frame, 5 on electronics, 3 on moving parts.
