About us
After home and the office, there is a third desk
The Third Desk opened in 2023 for people whose best hours start at night. Here is why we built it, and the rules that keep it working.
Our story
Built by two people who kept working after dinner
Farah managed serviced offices for ten years. She kept meeting the same type of tenant: the founder who shyly asked if the aircon could stay on past nine. Adrian was that tenant. He ran a data consultancy on European hours, in a tower that shut down around him every evening.
They opened The Third Desk in 2023, on a single floor above KL Sentral, with one promise. The lights, the aircon and the coffee stay on as late as you do. So does the front desk. And the floor never oversells its seats.
Three years on, the floor holds a mix of people. Night shift founders. Remote workers on foreign time zones. Writers who think best after the phones stop ringing.
What we hold constant
Capped occupancy
At most eight memberships sold for every ten desks, never more. Your desk is there when you arrive, at 9am or 2am.
Quiet by design
Calls happen in booths. Meetings happen in rooms. The open floor stays at library volume. Staff will politely quiet a call that strays.
Staffed late
Someone sits at the front desk until midnight, every day. For deliveries, guests, and the small problems that surface at 11pm.
Plain figures
Every plan is one flat monthly figure, with no joining fee and one month of notice. The figure on the plan is the figure on the invoice.
Who runs the floor
Farah Hashim

Adrian Loh
Co-founder, operations
Ran his own consultancy on European hours for six years. Handles memberships, billing and the booking system. Still keeps desk 41.
