As the startup scene becomes bigger and bigger in Malaysia and the world, cool co-working spaces complementing this industry are not showing any signs of slowing down either.
One particularly new co-working space that recently piqued the attention of fellow Malaysians is Sandbox. Sandbox is a co-working space designed for mobility, keeping those who are constantly on the move for work in mind. This is the place to be if you’re a freelancer, remote worker or digital nomad.
Sandbox is located in Sri Petaling, in the middle of the prime F&B area and conveniently, next to two parking lots as well.
They’ve got swings, beanbags and guitars as their decor, providing a really cosy vibe to it. You can either get your work done here, take a nap from a hardcore brainstorming session or just chill out and sink into the bean bags. Ideally, making yourself at home.
Traditional desks are provided, however, it’s really up to you where and how you want to get in the zone. You can dress up or down, whatever makes you comfortable and you’re even allowed to bring in “outside food”, so long as you clean up after. Bestnyer!
If this caught your attention, drop by for the day. Their charge starts at RM28 per day, or RM208 for any 10 days within a month. That means you get to work for only RM20.80/day!
That’s not all. Shared amenities at Sandbox include:
- A WiFi speed of 100 MBPS.
- Free flow of coffee, tea and light packaged snacks like wafers, biscuits, and cookies.
- Private phone booths so you can take a call without nosy eavesdroppers.
- Access to a shower room.
Alternatively, you can opt to become one of Sandbox’s “residents” for a monthly fee of RM480. The resident privilege lets you gain 24×7 access to a dedicated work desk. Want a little more privacy or maybe set up your little office away from home? There are private suites available for rent at RM580 a month.
Other amenities that Sandbox residents are entitled to include:
- 24/7 building access
- Printing credit
- Meeting room credit
- A business address with mail and package handling
- A lockable drawer
Sandbox’s coolest feature is their well-integrated app family—one’s an administrative app and the other’s a location-based security app.
The administrative app is pretty much Sandbox’s personal “WhatsApp group” where the community can use to text newcomers a simple ‘hi’ or simply send a message to the admin if the air conditioner’s too cold. You can even manage the booking of meeting rooms with the app or receive updates on some new snacks in the pantry. This means higher productivity rate because you essentially do not need to move at all!
The security app is quite intriguing as well. It can grant access to the building even when the app is inactive and the phone tucked away into your bag or pocket. Basically, the Sandbox system auto-detects the presence of their community members through the app and access is granted instantly. How cool is that?!
If you’re keen to give this cosy lil’ community playground a go, Sandbox is available for trial periods. That way, you can come and see if this co-working space is the right fit for you in the long run.
