Design of The Working Capitol co-working space in Singapore

The Working Capitol was recently named by Forbes as one of Asia's top co-working spaces. In the rapid growth of Singapore's co-working wave, standing out is not easy, but The Working Capitol has done so. After the successful Keong Saik Road flagship, the brand opened a new co-working space at 140 Robinson Road, extending beloved qualities of wellbeing, social connection and cross-industry exchange while raising the bar. Developed by HASSELL together with The Working Capitol leaders, the 11-story downtown space blends hotel-like amenities with inspiring rooms suited to varied work styles and events, ideal for companies reshaping how they operate. Co-working that turns the cubicle inside out: the architects and owner studied why Keong Saik succeeded, wanting Robinson Road to go further. The new design focuses on individual users and their changing needs, fostering innovation, collaboration and satisfaction beyond traditional cubicles. The space offers collaborative work areas, quiet zones, private offices and a duplex penthouse, plus food and beverage outlets, a 20-meter outdoor pool and gym, sky gardens, a bar and member lounges, providing premium work and rest environments suited to different companies and users; circulation between spaces creates opportunities for events, exchange and chance encounters. The polished yet not-too-perfect new co-working space sits elegantly within the concrete facade, lightly covering rather than hiding it like a second skin. The material approach respects and preserves the raw original building skin, with exposed interior walls finished in plywood and rubber flooring throughout. Dynamic, multicolored split-tone glass, understated refined details and the brand's signature teal accents create an elegant yet playful urban experience.
