The 18 best coworking spaces in Singapore

If you’re lucky enough to be a remote worker, freelancer, small business owner, or just want a change in scenery on the days you’re allowed to work from home — coworking spaces should definitely be on your radar!

For the newbies who haven’t ventured into the world of coworking yet, welcome. And for the experienced ones who have tried a coworking space or two, we hope this comprehensive list gives you more options to check out too.

Working in a different environment every once in a while can be a refreshing change. And whilst it’s tempting to work in your pyjamas all day, it can be difficult to stay productive when your bed is three steps away, even if you’ve got an awesome home office setup. It’s good to have alternative working options in hand, so you know where to head to if you want to switch things up.

Coworking ticks a lot of boxes in terms of working needs, but it’s important to try different ones out so you can find a space that best suits you. There’s nothing better than discovering a coworking space where you can really focus, smash out some deep work, and even make new friends!

In this blog, we take a look at some of the best coworking spaces in Singapore. But in case you aren’t convinced, let’s have a quick look at why we’re huge advocates of coworking.

Perks of a coworking space

Hot desking is a common practice in coworking spaces.

If you love the idea of being spontaneous and not knowing what your workspace is going to look like until you get there, coworking spaces are for you. Hot desking gives you the flexibility to choose your optimal workspace based on your mood of the day (and the available spaces of course). Even if you’re not a fan of hot desking, there are also designated desk options available, so fret not.

Coworking is an inexpensive solution besides running an office if you’re sick of working from home. Regardless of whether you’re a small business owner, a self-employed freelancer, or a remote worker, you get to enjoy similar amenities without having to fork out for long term leases, hefty electrical bills, installing heavy equipment, or anything else related to office operations. Flexible plans are often available for growing businesses.

With a fully stocked pantry, coffee machines (which are highly important!), private meeting rooms, event spaces, high speed internet, printers and more, all the running costs are covered. All you have to do is rock up, and get to work. How convenient is that? Have a client coming? Some offer reception services.

Working from home can be distracting at times — especially if you have to deal with kids, pets, household chores, and more. Remote working can also lead to remoteliness, because it entails spending large amounts of time alone. That’s where coworking spaces come in! It provides you with the opportunity to surround yourself with like-minded, hardworking and motivated individuals.

Coworking spaces tend to pride themselves on building a growing community of talented individuals from all industries and backgrounds, as well as curating an exciting calendar of events and workshops every month. Keen to network or make some new work besties? Head to your nearest coworking space and start socialising.
