6 hidden gem coworking spaces in Singapore (2025 Edition)

Post on June 3, 2025

Whether you’re a freelancer, remote employee, or entrepreneur, we get it: sometimes, your usual desk just doesn’t cut it. That’s where a change of scenery comes in. The right space can reset your brain, boost your focus, and reignite your creativity. And the best part? You don’t have to stay locked in the CBD or squeeze into crowded hotspots to find a great coworking vibe.

From stylish shophouses to hotel lounges with 24/7 access, these 6 under-the-radar coworking spaces in Singapore are all available via the workbuddy app. Each one is thoughtfully designed, refreshingly different, and perfect for those looking to break out of the routine.

1. 8 at Barat – Bukit Merah *new*

Tucked away in Bukit Merah, 8 at Barat is where work meets play. Think sleek, modern interiors with pops of colour, spacious workstations, and a casual café-style vibe that makes it feel more like a creative clubhouse than an office. There’s a breakout lounge for informal chats, a quiet zone for deep work, and even recreational areas like karaoke and a pool table to unwind when the brain fog hits. Regular founder talks, intimate networking mixers, and an open event space perfect for team town halls offer the right mix of productivity and connection.

Best for: Creatives, freelancers, and anyone who wants a relaxed yet professional atmosphere.

2. Holiday Inn Express – Orchard Road *new*

Need a late-night work session or somewhere to work between meetings in town? This hotel-based coworking space in Holiday Inn Express Orchard is open until 9PM – perfect for night owls or anyone with calls across time zones. The setting is sleek, air-conditioned, and comfy, with plush seating, power outlets, and Wi-Fi that’s strong enough for Zoom marathons. Bonus: there's coffee and refreshments on-site, plus you're steps from all the best post-work dinner spots.

Best for: Remote workers with flexible hours or business travellers needing a central pitstop.

3. JustCo – Marina Square

A stylish alternative to the usual downtown towers, JustCo Marina Square is bright, energetic, and filled with natural light. You’ll find plenty of hot desks, meeting rooms, and breakout spaces across the spacious layout. What makes it extra special? The glass walls overlooking Marina Bay, the built-in community events, and the mix of retail and dining options right outside the door.

Best for: Startup teams, solo hustlers, and anyone who wants a fun-yet-functional work environment.

4. Crane – Joo Chiat

Set inside a heritage shophouse in the heart of the East, Crane Joo Chiat is as much a lifestyle space as it is a coworking hub. The space is decked out in rattan chairs, leafy plants, and sun-drenched nooks – ideal for reading, writing, or slow-focus mornings. With regular community events (think creative workshops, wellness sessions, and talks), Crane offers a vibe that’s both tranquil and inspiring. Plus, the coffee from the in-house Kohi Roastery? Chef’s kiss.

Best for: Writers, creatives, and slow-start Mondays.

5. The Hive – Carpenter Street

A stone’s throw from Clarke Quay but far from the hustle, The Hive Carpenter spans six beautifully designed floors, each with its own vibe. Rooftop lounge? Check. Cosy café corner? You got it. Artful interiors and natural light? Everywhere. It’s the kind of space that instantly lifts your energy, whether you’re working solo or planning a team brainstorm.

Best for: Hybrid workers, small teams, and midweek productivity resets.

6. The Co Duxton – Duxton Hill

Part of a growing crop of boutique coworking spaces, The Co Duxton is more than just a pretty space. This charming coworking spot in Duxton Hill blends minimalist interiors with soft lighting and plant-filled corners for a workspace that feels calm, not clinical. But what sets it apart is its commitment to wellbeing. Regular events like sound baths, mindfulness workshops, and somatic healing sessions bring a restorative energy into the workday. Whether you're looking to crush your to-do list or take a mental breather, this is a space that supports both.

Best for: Founders and freelancers who value a community-driven space.
