A typical office structure in Malaysia features the ever-reliable cubicle. Still, sometimes we all need to step out of our comfort zones to get some much-needed work inspiration. That’s where co-working spaces come in. These are venues available for rent where workers/companies/freelancers can conduct brainstorming sessions, meetings or even team building. If you want a different view while you work, check out the Top 10 Co-working spaces in KL & Selangor.
1) Paper + Toast
We all need a boost every now and then, and there’s nothing better than a boost in the form of a yummy meal or a soothing beverage. Paper + Toast has you sorted on that front. In addition to their cool and comfy co-working space, they also have meals available to order, from simple sandwiches to more filling dishes as well. You’ll be well taken care of at their Cyberjaya hub. Event and meeting space is also available here, as well as a virtual office, which is a mail, call and fax management system.
