Spaces
Levels 3 & 13, 111 Somerset, 111 Somerset Road
WHAT: A co-working space with an international membership.
WHO: Travelling workaholics. Or working travelholics.
WHY: Do a one-time sign-up for access to co-working spaces in 44 countries. Members can also access the company’s Business Clubs for private meetings or little get-togethers. And Spaces knows you can’t work hungry: It collaborates with popular F&B places so there’s always a legit cafe selling great coffee within the compound – Spaces at Robinsons has Sarnies on board. Its latest launch at 111 Somerset covers 3,200 sq m; operations will commence in mid-2019.
HOW IT’S USEFUL: Dani van Houten, 48, doesn’t let different time zones affect her productivity. As an investor based in Singapore who also owns several Airbnb homes in the Netherlands, she’s constantly travelling to and fro. Because her membership allows her to access any co-working Spaces, she always has a comfortable working environment in Singapore and the Netherlands.
“Sometimes, when my homes are all rented out back in Amsterdam, I head to Spaces in the daytime to get my work done because I don’t want to disturb my guests. And in Singapore, working at Spaces is comfortable and familiar. You get similar coffee and a quiet space with one membership,” she explains.
Dani adds that the coffee served at Sarnies here matches the brew she gets back home – always a plus.
Reserved co-working spaces are $578 monthly; private offices are from $938 a month.
Trehaus
#03-01 Claymore Connect, 442 Orchard Road
