Increase Your Productivity At The Best Co-Working Spaces In Singapore

The popularity of the self-employed movement has been increasing exponentially, giving rise to buzzword phrases like ‘location independence’ and ‘digital nomad’. One issue that faces this group of freelancers and entrepreneurs is finding a place to work that minimizes distractions and maximizes productivity. Working at home can be fraught with distractions, and additionally many feel lonely after losing the camaraderie of colleagues. To that end, coworking spaces have popped up all over the world where one can benefit from sharing a workspace with people in different industries and retain the benefits of colleagues without the drawbacks. Many coworking spaces also host a variety of events from formal networking to casual social gatherings to increase professional and friendly connections between members. Here are the best spots in Singapore to boost that productivity within a social space.

The Great Room sets itself apart from other coworking spaces as Singapore’s first hospitality-inspired coworking space. CEO and co-founder of The Great Room, Ms Jaelle Ang, previously worked with luxury hotel brand Four Seasons and noticed that people are more driven to be professionally successful when working from a hotel. With that in mind, she hired Distillery Studio, the hospitality specialist behind the Manhattan Bar, to design The Great Room. Besides the traditional hotdesks, The Great Room also offers Hot Office, which gives members the privacy and security of a dedicated office while still having the collaborative benefits of a coworking space.

3. Trehaus

Trehaus is Singapore’s first coworking space catering to working parents. The space is divided into two areas: the Workspace and the Kids’ Atelier. Trehaus was founded by working mothers Rachel Teo, Tjin Lee, Elaine Kim, and educator Elizabeth Wu, who understand the struggles of having a good work and family life balance. Besides The Workspace, which is equipped with the standard private and common desks, The Kids’ Atelier offers childcare services for infants and learning programs for toddlers.

They offer four tiers of membership geared towards freelancers, entrepreneurs, startups, and large companies in common and private spaces. All membership levels include access to private events and corporate perks.
