Commenting on the opening, Shiyamal Jayathilake – Managing Director, Third Space Global said “The purpose of the ‘Office’ has changed quite drastically over the last 12-18 months. It's no longer the space to sit in isolation and do your work, that you can do from home. The office is the space to collaborate, create bonds, engage with your fellow team members and have fun, while working. This space we created to foster just that.”

“The design of the office is expected to promote a flexible and enjoyable lifestyle and work culture to create happy employees and a motivated workforce, while nurturing their mental and emotional wellbeing. Added to this to ensure an optimal work-life balance, we have created spaces to ensure staff can avail themselves of a fully-equipped lunch room, breakfast and snack options, with coffee, tea and soft drinks made available for consumption.” He further added.
