Industry Business Hub is an inspired new commercial precinct that epitomizes the cutting-edge in contemporary workspace design and modern urban life.
Offering an impressive selection of flexible workspaces and poised on the edge of the CBD and surrounding inner-city precincts, Industry Business Hub locates and connects its residents to the heart of it all.
Inspired by the warehouse studios of New York’s Meatpacking District, yet transformed into something truly ‘Melburnian’, the spaces feature exposed ceilings, generous volumes and polished concrete floors. The open plan design of warehouses with exposed concrete and services is slick yet edgy and provides a space that is ideal for creative professionals.
With the construction budget relatively limited, this forced the design team to deal with basic elemental components, materials and recycling wherever possible.
