So it's Friday at the office and you don't want to leave. SAY WHAT?!?! If this were my office I might have a hard time tearing myself away, even on a Friday afternoon. The Superette office, a completely gutted warehouse space where hard work is key, because you are "not here to fuck spiders", but to "do epic shit". Yeah, THAT'S RIGHT.

Look at those walls. Love! Imagine all the amazingly creative work you could achieve in your office if you were surrounded by so many other people's creative gems. From Apartment FS by Stuttgart-based architects Ippolito Fleitz Group.

The workplace today needs community, connection and inclusion. Base 64 is set up as a community of cohabitating businesses under the umbrella of former Internode chief Simon Hackett. Seen as a technology incubator, it eschews the short term excesses of a Silicon Valley “fun park” office for an emphasis on belonging, integration with the outdoors, rich, lush, tactile materials and a sense of comfort and well being. All this is underpinned by a strict environmental responsibility and adaptive re-use.
What do you get when decor diva Tamara Kaye-Honey of House of Honey weaves her magic for hotel gurus Mr & Mrs Smith? Why a design marriage made in heaven of course! Which is why, if you have to drag your sorry old self into work on a Saturday I hope it is somewhere as stylish as this.
Tucked up under these open stairs is a clever little office space while further bespoke cabinetry helps overcome the limitations of this narrow open plan living dining kitchen space. North Fitzroy Residence by Chamberlain Architects. Crafted architectural solutions to enrich daily life.
