Getting There

6 Minutes Walk from Bendemeer MRT

The Hive Lavender is conveniently located near Bendemeer MRT station, an area close to the industrial park.

Despite the rain during our visit, the journey was straightforward.

From Downtown Station, it’s about 13 minutes to Bendemeer on the Downtown Line, followed by a 6-minute walk from Exit B.

Upon arrival, you’ll find the Vanguard Campus building housing The Hive.

Inside, a café greets you on the right, with the entrance located further in, giving it a cozy, hidden feel.

The door opens into an elevator hall.

Features of the Hive. Lavender

The interior boasts a mortar style, with a calm, artistic atmosphere. Creative companies occupy the building, contributing to its unique decor.

Many of the ornaments and decorations placed throughout the building were given by the resident companies.

Notably, it houses three studios—Portrait, Fashion, and Podcast—ideal for various creative projects.

There is a fee to use this service, but it is a great environment for those involved in recording potcasts, photographing products and advertisements, and other work!

Recommended Companies

We experienced a quiet, focused environment in a private office.

In addition to the frequent events held by the shared office management company,

The decorations placed here and there and the overall design of the building conveyed the importance of “playfulness” and “community” very well.

Workplace is not “just a place to work” but a place to live “like home”,

We recommend it for companies that see it as a place to interact with people and work their imagination!
