JustCo
Perhaps it’s the ping-pong table set in the middle of their Robinson Road location, or perhaps it’s the fact that they are opening two more locations in the heart of Singapore’s Central Business District as proof of its track record. Either way, JustCo feels like the perfect blend of home and work, all without feeling stuffy or boring. The best part about JustCo is its experience with people from all walks of life, whether you’re a freelancer looking for a hotdesk or a big business looking for the perfect space to expand and collaborate.

the Hive
The Hive’s name hints at the space’s ultimate goal: collective intelligence, where its members can create bigger and better projects through the result of sharing and collaboration. And with a Hive Passport that allows members access to the eleven outlets across the continent, they have proven their dedication in achieving its goal. Whether you are a jet-setter or a networking enthusiast, there’s always a space for you here.

SpaceMob
SpaceMob advertises itself to be a little secret amongst its patrons, but we are breaking the rules and letting you in. Placed in two thriving districts: the flagship outlet at Claymore and the startup-rich area of Kent Ridge, SpaceMob links the different aspects of entrepreneurship and co-working beautifully into a neat little bow. But, more than that, SpaceMob’s inviting and exhilarating atmosphere has made it a strong name within the co-working community.

The Working Capitol
Located in the heart of Singapore, The Working Capitol is more than just a space for hire. No, it is an ecosystem for collaboration and interaction. Facilities like a hot desk, dedicated desk and a private office aren’t the only draws; other services such as weekly meals and skill-sharing sessions ensure the community remains tight-knit and productive. Looking for a one-off space? The Working Capitol has versatile spaces ready at your disposable too.

With locations spanning across the globe — across four continents (with over fifty locations by year-end!), it is clear that Spaces has grown a community of like-minded individuals, and they continue to do the same right here in Singapore. The emphasis here is on flexibility: it doesn't matter if you’re looking for a one-time meeting space or a fixed spot for your creative endeavours, Spaces has got you covered with their dynamic and energising crowd that is sure to please your entrepreneurial spirit.

The Co.
With its award-winning design and facilities, it is no wonder The Co. has been an attractive choice for those interested in looking for the right co-working space. Priding itself on being a premium choice, The Co. is the perfect breeding ground for those in the creative and startup fields, or simply those who love being in an environment where innovation thrives. In addition to getting a desk or a private suite across the two floors (including a garden area), The Co. also enables members to have access to privileges extended by their partners to ensure a more comprehensive experience.

Huone
The beauty about Huone is that it doesn’t resemble most co-working spaces for the simplest of reasons: it hasn't specifically set out to be just a co-working venue. Instead, it provides spaces to host everything from intimate meetings to large-scale events in its multiple themed rooms that removes the bore and humdrum of plain-ol’ meetings. Though not a co-working spot by name, the "event space" environment it breeds fosters strong interaction and collaboration; perfect for co-working too.

Collective Works
The best part about Collective Works extends far beyond their facilities: it is their commitment to customer service. Through the creation of a custom membership package, Collective Works ensures that you get the space you deserve. Even better, they are launching bespoke services, tailoring the perfect private office for your specific needs, right in the heart of Singapore, to encourage even more growth and collaboration.

Collision8
The diversity in facilities and members have made Collision8 a fitting homage to its namesake— like particles in a collider, Collison8 provides the perfect backdrop for entrepreneurs and innovators to collide and interact. This means they can share and gain knowledge consecutively, while providing key networking opportunities at the same time. When faced with a view of Singapore’s iconic skyline and equally beautiful working space, it is easy to feel like anything is possible.

Trehaus
Whoever said life ends when you have a child clearly has not visited Trehaus. Founded by four working mothers, Trehaus ensures parents can still witness the growing years of their young ones without having to leave work behind. The Kids Atelier concept means your child can enjoy themselves, while still being mere feet from you. But, fear not, that doesn’t mean children would be running amok when you are knee-deep in work. With dedicated spaces for working and for playing, Trehaus ensures that everyone can work and play effectively, whether you are six months old or a little bit older than that.

Gone are the days where you traverse the streets for an empty seat at a cafe, with your laptop in your hands. Here are Singapore’s best co-working spaces.

Co-working is more than just the renting of a single desk, more than just the usage of a beautiful meeting room, more than just a space for mindless working. Co-working is a lifestyle bug, for the creative and the innovative to interact and transform their ideas from paper into reality — and Singapore has definitely caught it.

For the uninitiated, co-working can sound intimidating. After all, traditional networking usually happens ar after-hours events, where you are encouraged to mingle with fellow participants over the common (and oh-so-scintillating) topics of the weather and the food. So the idea of smiling at a stranger while making your cup-of-joe, in a room that’s too familiar to not be home, may sound daunting.

But the truth is, co-working has been on the rise and there are so many of these “co-working spaces” in Singapore that you are sure to find one that is the perfect fit for your working necessities, whether you are a working parent or someone who gets the biggest brainwaves at the latest of hours. Head up to the gallery to check out 10 of Singapore’s coolest co-working spaces that will surely blow your boring office or study room out of the water!
