Collective Works

So the start-​up I work at has recently moved into Collective Works, a shared office space nestled in the CBD.
The concept of shared office spaces are a little new for me, but apparently it’s really catching on here in Singapore, and is a pretty established idea over in the States and Europe.
That said, I love this space. Fully stocked fridge with drinks at around $ 1. Nespresso coffee machine. A selection of teas. Fibre optic wired and wireless internet. Printers. And my personal favourite, Eubiq power strips! (I’ll be happy to gush about Singaporean-​designed Eubiq outlet systems, but that’s not the point here. Read up more here:
)
The location is, admittedly, a double-​edged sword. You’re super central, and there’re crazy plenty awesome eateries around the area. However. There’re also crazy many people in the area, and sometimes the crush gets really frustrating. But as the photos show, this is definitely one of the premier spaces out there.
BEST PART? It’s totes affordable for start-​ups like us! Rates for a shared (i.e. hot desking) workstation run from $ 150 to $ 700 (roughly for 25 to 160 desktime hours) to $ 700-​$ 800 for your own private desk.
I should also mention that a big reason why Collective Works gets a 5 star review? Is that the owner, Jonathan, is awesome friendly, and that really sets such a good ‘tone’ for the space.
