Purposefully trying to blur the lines between work and life by bringing both concepts together, BARDO “tenants” are free to utilise the club’s facilities, meaning a coffee break can include a cocktail or even a quick massage at spa Mei, and for longer breaks, catching a film in multi-purpose room The Studio. 

Co-working spaces continue to give more and more people the chance to work from anywhere. Now, BARDO, a space in Singapore is trying to take the co-working space to the next level by integrating itself into private members’ club, 1880. 

Of course, BARDO tenants must also join 1880 as a member.

A Tibetan word that refers to an intermediate state, the idea behind BARDO is to offer opportunities to relax and recharge and therefore free your working mind of external influence.

Another element to the BARDO concept is to bring together people to potentially spark off collaborations. This means entrepreneurs could be rubbing shoulders with family offices, investors and venture capitalists.

Facilities at BARDO include administrative services such as printing, courier, notary and mailbox services, three meeting rooms, two sound-proof phone booths, private storage and a concierge.
