The more I see of collaborative or shared office spaces the more I feel they are an extremely inspiring and efficient way of working for independent business people! Designer and illustrator Mairead Murphy of
Maike Design Studio converted this disused warehouse space in Northcote, Melbourne into a beautiful, vibrant and inspiring work space for independent designers and artists. It's been designed to maintain the natural light and feeling of large open space but zoned to allow both individual and collaborative work. Minamilist materials have been used to allow the original industrial features to shine through. I could work there, could you?!
Mairead has been so wonderful and sent me an extensive list of where the items are from for example, the dining chairs are
Thonet 214 (15% discount with code MYSCAN), the sofa is
Angelucci, the armchair was found in a skip and upholstered in
Kvadrat tonica fabric, the white rug is
Jimmy Possum, the pendant lights over the dining table are
Lightyears by Caravaggio and the bench and swing are by
Pop & Scott. The list is extensive so if you're wondering about anything else just give me a shout below!

PS I'm off to a great friend's wedding tomorrow - so exciting! I hope you all have a lovely weekend. See you Monday!
