There’s A Coworking Space Hidden In Parkview Square, AKA Singapore’s “Gotham” Building In Bugis

The Work Project at Parkview Square


You’ve likely seen Parkview Square in passing and have been wowed by its stunning architecture and neo-art deco facade. Affectionately nicknamed “the gotham building” in Bugis, it’s fittingly pretty mysterious and exclusive in nature. Barhoppers might be privy to the fact that the renowned Atlas Bar is housed within, but did you know there’s a co-working space in Parkview Square?

It’s called The Work Project, and here’s what you can expect when you take up a private office, hotdesking day pass, dedicated desk, event space booking, or virtual office service here:

Fun fact: The Work Project’s Parkview Square office has been in operation since 2018. You’d hardly be able to tell, though, as the co-working space is maintained superbly and looks closer to brand new than over half a decade old.

Speaking of brand new, The Work Project recently unveiled an expansion that takes over the entire 7th storey of Parkview Square. This opens up vacancies for companies and teams looking to snag a primo office space, which is reason to rejoice as slots have been snatched up like hotcakes on the OG 10th floor.

It’s easy to see why. First of all, Parkview Square sits as an unbeatably convenient spot downtown. You’re right smack in the middle of Singapore City, while still being able to dodge the chaos and crowds of the CBD. Bugis MRT Station is minutes away on foot, connecting you to both the East-West as well as Downtown Lines, making commutes a breeze.

If you’re someone who’s highly motivated and inspired by your working environment, The Work Project will immerse you in equal parts “locking in to get the job done”, and “chilling out for a vibey recharge”.

The Work Project Private Office Space

The dedicated work zones enable deep concentration and productivity, with thoughtful touches like tableside pedestal drawers and enough charging ports to juice up all your devices. With its central location offering views of cityscapes, busy highways, and even the sea afar, Parkview Square’s gorgeous scenery is definitely a plus point.

The Work Project Tables

Some people do their best work alone, and others thrive off bustling atmospheres with the sound of lively discussion and the tippity-tap of numerous keyboards. At The Work Project, you can access both simply by sauntering from a private office space to one of the communal spaces.

The Work Project - Co-Working Space

Grab a spot in the lounge to be motivated by fellow workers cranking out their tasks. Those needing to bounce ideas off others can also schedule a productive chat in the various nooks. And for wider team discussions, there are a myriad of meeting rooms available for use.

Need to hop on a call and don’t wish to bother those around you? There are plenty of soundproof phone booths which double as cosy focus pods.


Other amenities


The Work Project Pantry Coffee Machine

Nothing powers you up for more productivity quite like a well-stocked pantry. The Work Project’s pantry spaces are equipped with a coffee machine, an assortment of teas, and a range of sweet and savoury snacks to tackle the munchies.

To simplify your lunch prep process, there are also fridges, microwaves, and cabinets filled with all sorts of crockery and cutlery you might need.

The Work Project - Wellness Room

The dedicated Wellness Room provides a quiet and private space for nursing mums, those who need to perform prayers, and anyone who could benefit from taking a breather. You’ll even find handy meditation guides and breathing exercises inside!


Bonus: Atlas Bar for after-work drinks

If you enjoy a good tipple after work, and value the ambience of a bar, having your office space be right above the iconic Atlas Bar is certainly worth shouting out about.

Last but not least, The Work Project even offers virtual office services. “What on earth is a virtual office?”, you might ask.

In a nutshell, the service is for companies operating remotely but who are still required or prefer to have amenities like a business address, mail management system, and call handling through a dedicated business phone number and either a receptionist or automated system to answer and route calls. Should this be something that you need, you can engage The Work Project for a virtual office from $85/hour.
