There are days when one simply can’t get anything done at their office, simply because working at the same place every weekday becomes a chore. That is exactly what co-working spaces are for, as they offer a fresh vibe and will lend professionals a new perspective that could even aid their creativity.
Here are 10 co-working spaces around Klang Valley that every professional nomad will gladly enjoy.
1. White Space
White Space is the right fit for professional nomads who are looking for privacy while they work. Suitable for the corporate-like beings, White Space has 4 branches around Klang Valley and each space varies from the other in terms of design and functionality.
