13 coolest co-working spaces in Singapore for the work-at-home-mum!

12 min read
coolest co-working spaces

The reality of working from home can be less than perfect.

Being a Work-at-Home Mum (WAHM) can be a dream come true for many women. After all, it seems like a perfect way to carve out a successful career for yourself yet be at home to take care of your children.

However, you know that reality can be less than perfect. Your children’s frequent calls for your attention and sudden outbursts would often result in you doing neither your work nor child-minding, well enough.

That is why you may need to consider a working space out of your home, where you can work productively for a few hours a week, and yet go back to enjoying your children when you get back home.

You may have tried parking yourself at cafes but find that you are unable to leave your seat for a short break in fear of losing your space. Or you may have had the experience of scouring for empty seats at the packed libraries where you have to compete with earnest students.

Many co-working spaces have sprouted in the recent years to accommodate mums who need the extra space to work peacefully. Although you could choose any co-working space in the island, there are some which have WAHMs specifically in mind.

Go to the next page to read about the coolest co-working spaces for you to choose from, depending on your needs.

 

For the Entrepreneur

The Working Capitol

1A Keong Saik Rd, S089109

coolest co-working spaces

The Working Capitol is great if you have a team and you want to bounce ideas off one another, as you can use one of the clusters of work desks (Workspaces) there. There are also meeting rooms and breakout areas, including a café, where you can unwind with fellow freelancers or entrepreneurs.

Alternatively, you can also switch to working solo at a quiet place at any of the bright Workspots there, at about $450 per month for three days a week.

The Co

75 High Street, S179435

Nestled right in the heart of the city, The Co offers eight levels of ample space for co-working. You can hold meetings there as well as have breakout sessions, besides having office spaces. Networking events and presentations can also be conducted at the The Magnet Bar, Cove and Third Space.

You can rent a co-working space for $45 per day, and for $350 a month, you will be offered office space, for a maximum of 10 visits. If you want unlimited access 24/7, you can sign up for the package which also offers a mailing address, at $600 per month.

For the Techie

Hackerspace

 70A Bussorah Street,  S199483

Hackerspace is a haven for you if you are in love with robots and linus boxes.  Hackerspace is the pioneer in co-working spaces in Singapore and this is the place for you to network and create innovative products if your area of work lies in technology, science, digital art or computer.

The committee in charge of this space is highly selective, mainly favouring tech start-ups over businesses which are non-tech by nature. You can reserve a desk for yourself, storing your things there and even labelling it, at $512 per month. If you only need to use the space for a short period of time, you need only pay $64 per month.

For a start, you can opt for a three-month membership, choosing from two types of co-working space: sharing and regular. The latter is a wiser alternative only if you intend to use your hot-desk more frequently.
