A gorgeous light-filled space
We’re loved for our space, with our stunning glass roof that is fully retractable. We have it open on sunny days so you can soak up the rays- or choose a shaded area if that’s what you prefer. This is Melbourne so we’re quick to close the roof when the weather changes!
Our plethora of indoor plants across a large space create an instantly welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re here to work alone or meet friends, the space will always feel bright and welcoming.
