Staytion Co-Working Spaces | Asset-light evolution flexibility reshapes Hybrid Work across Asia Pacific

Staytion workstations at strategic locations offers flexible pay-per-use or Global Unlimited Membership plans, where users can unlock hybrid workspaces office from hot desks to meeting rooms and studios — all discoverable and bookable on Staytion, Singapore's premium workspace booking platform.

Members enjoy unlimited usage, no lock-in contracts and exclusive perks from Food & Beverage, Wellness and Lifestyle partners, plus five complimentary hours of meeting room access at Staytion Spaces and across the regions in South East Asia  at Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, North Asia - Japan, South Korea, China and Middle East - the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

What happens when the concept of work evolves faster than the spaces built to support it? 

Companies want flexibility but are reluctant to commit. Workers crave autonomy without being tied down. Traditional office leases are rigid with sky high rent and increasingly, staggering behind what people need. 

Co-working spaces promised an answer, but rising costs and unstable demand make sustainability challenging. The gap between the need for flexible, affordable workspace and the realities of today’s market is growing wider.

According to Colliers, demand for office space across Asia Pacific's top markets surged by 15.9% annually, reaching 8.8 million square metres by 2025 — highlighting a growing need for scalable, adaptive solutions.

STAYTION WORKSPACES | Hot Desks | Meeting Rooms | Studios 

Enter Singapore's Staytion, an online platform solving this problem with Airbnb-like ease across Southeast Asia and beyond.

The Future of Coworking is Asset-light

Before Staytion expanded to a digital platform of coworking spaces, Staytion lived on real platforms : born in Singapore’s MRT network, it transformed transit retail spaces into convenient co-working hubs for commuters at Dhoby Ghaut, Marsiling and Paya Lebar

STAYTION Regional Co-working Space

Today, Staytion connects users to workspaces across nine countries in the regions, including Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Japan, China and more.

Staytion is growing not by building spaces but by rethinking access — evolving into a scalable, tech-driven marketplace that work with, rather than competes against, commercial space owners.

By partnering with coworking space brands and lifestyle venues, Staytion sidesteps the need to build or lease spaces and redirects resources toward platform development, user acquisition, and regional growth. 

This approach also allows Staytion to curate a range of spaces — from hot desks, meeting rooms, private studios to even niche lifestyle spaces like dance and photography studios —tailored to users’ evolving needs. This flexibility reflects how people work today: they are mobile, mixed and on demand.

As Staytion’s network expands, users gain more choices while partners benefit from higher visibility and stronger demand.

For flexible work to truly evolve, it’s not enough to offer more spaces, it is about rethinking what a workspace should be.

STAYTION Redefining Co-working for the New Era

Staytion goes beyond traditional co-working. It is a tech-driven, lifestyle-first platform built around how work is changing.

Unlike models locked into fixed leases, Staytion combines its MRT-based venues by placing workspaces within easy reach of commuter networks with a growing marketplace of partner spaces across Southeast Asia.

STAYTION Flexible Passes & Membership 

With Staytion’s flexible passes, which includes pay-per-use or membership plans, users can unlock workspaces across the region — from hot desks to meeting rooms and studios — browse,  discover and book in just a few taps.

At a time when rising costs and rigid commitments weigh down traditional coworking models, Staytion’s asset-light approach enables it to scale quickly while delivering the flexibility users demand.

Building Depth Over Borders

Staytion is not racing to stamp flags on a map as it focused on quality over quantity, building deeper, better networks within the nine countries it already serves: South East Asia - Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, North Asia - Japan, South Korea, China and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Not only does it offer regional businesses a flexible alternative to fixed leases, but it also helps regional teams work seamlessly across Southeast Asia and beyond.

Staytion continually enhances the user experience, making maps more interactive, bookings faster and discovery more intuitive while onboarding more premium coworking and lifestyle venues to enhance workspace options for users, staying ahead of how people want to work.

STAYTION Milestones That Shaped A Regional Challenger

The numbers speak for themselves; in just two years, Staytion has evolved from MRT stations to the region’s smartphone screens:

Three owned MRT venues at Dhoby Ghaut, Marsiling, and Paya Lebar

600+ partner locations across nine countries

1,500+ workspace listings live on the platform

292 workspace brands onboarded

More than 8,000 registered users and 17,000+ bookings

Multiple industry awards, including Flexible Workspace Initiative of the Year (Real Estate Asia, 2023-2025) and Technology Innovation of the Year (Real Estate Asia, 2024 and 2025)

As Staytion continues to grow, it accelerates the shift in how and where flexible work takes shape across the region.

The Future of Work is Already Here.

From day-pass freelancers to regional enterprise teams, Staytion is redefining what flexible work looks like across Southeast Asia.

By shedding real estate and embracing a platform - first model, it’s building a lifestyle-centric network that lets people work wherever opportunity leads them.

Staytion’s vision is simple. As hybrid work becomes the norm, the future of work won’t be tied to an address — It would be mobile, flexible, and powered by platforms that move with you.

STAYTION Global Unlimited Membership 

One way Staytion brings that future to life is through its Global Unlimited Membership — a single, flexible plan that unlocks access to over 90 premium workspaces across six countries, including The Executive Centre, Staytion Spaces, N9 Offices and more. 

Members enjoy unlimited usage, no lock-in contracts and discounted perks from Food & Beverage, wellness, and lifestyle partners — plus five complimentary hours of meeting room access at Staytion Spaces. New users can enjoy a one-week free trial from 15 May 2025 onwards. 

Explore the next generation of workspaces with Staytion Global Unlimited Membership today with Staytion Spaces, pay as you go workspaces, hot desks and studios, pacing your work life balance wherever you go with Staytion's extensive flexible workspace network across Singapore, Asia Pacific and beyond.

[REVIEW] Sugar(ed) Natural Hair Removal Singapore Body Sugaring Studio

Sugar(ed) is Singapore first professional body sugaring studio, dedicated to the all-natural hair removal technique, specialising in Brazilians, body sugaring options, treatments like Hungarian mineral mud masks and the studio’s signature (V)acial ®, for both men and women.

Sugar(ed) was launched in 2016 by Jasmine Yong, Singaporean entrepreneur, certified sugarist and educator and have expanded to 4 organic hair removal sugaring studio.

In October 2024, Sugar(ed) teamed up with Tamara’s Sugar, an organic product line from Seattle, United States, as its exclusive distributor in Southeast Asia, for professional use and retail.

Popular Tamara's Sugar product includes Regrowth Routine for Bikini or Legs, Sweet Exfoliator Moisture Serum, Soothing Oil, On-the-go Exfoliator, Bamboo + Enzyme Ultra Fine Exfoliating Mask, Hungarian Mud Mask and Body Soothe Lotion.

What is Sugaring ?

Sugaring is the timeless art of natural hair removal, a method of epilation that has been used since 1900 BC for  hairless, totally smooth body and the standard of youth, beauty and innocence for women in Egypt. 

Sugaring Hair Removal & Benefits

• The 100% natural and water-soluble sugar paste is directly applied to skin and flicked off, removing hair from the roots.

• It is gentle and less painful than common waxing methods and removes dead skin cells, leaving skin soft and smooth. 

• The regrowth is slower, finer, softer and lighter in colour and leads to quick hair refinement and diminished hair growth. 

• The sugar growth is applied at body temperature, there is no risk of burns, bruises or blisters.

• Fewer ingrown hairs as hairs are removed in the natural direction of growth, resulting in less breakage and follicle distortion.

• Safe for those suffering from skin issues such as eczema, psoriasis or spider veins.

• Effective for all skin types including sensitive skin.

Sugar(ed) REVIEW : It was a gentle way to remove unwanted hair and great for sensitive skin. As sugaring removes dead skin cells, it helps in exfoliation, revealing smoother, cleaner skin. The regrowth was slower and depending on your hair renewal rate, it could be like weeks before regrowth.

If you’re still shaving or waxing unwanted body hair, you may like to consider sugaring and experience organic hair removal with all natural ingredients.

Sugar(ed) Promotion!

Sugar(ed) celebrates it's 8th Anniversary this year! Current promotion : 50% off for Brazilian first-timers (Virgin Brazilian), until 30th June 2025.
