“Pasta e ceci is a lovely wholesome Italian combo of chickpeas and pasta. When I cook chickpeas, I take inspo from my years and years of Spanish training prior to moving to the pasta world. This means peppers, paprika and tomato! This recipe is vego, but if you wanted to meat it up, it’s brilliant with any form of pork (bacon, pancetta, sausage etc.) so feel free to add your own spin.

In the pursuit of wellbeing, it's common to focus on mental exercises, but the undeniable truth lies in the realm of physical activity. Here are Lockeroom’s key insights for executives seeking genuine wellbeing.

3 AN EXECUTIVE SOLUTION Executives often grapple with limited time and unique challenges. In such a scenario, personalised training emerges as the ultimate solution, offering safety, flexibility, and effectiveness unparalleled by other systems.
Lockeroom’s mission is to dramatically improve the health and fitness of business executives and their private gyms are highly exclusive. Thanks to our partnership, we've unlocked 10 foundation memberships for Hub Martin Place members. Make your enquiry through the lifestyle concierge team.

Phil Stallard Describing himself as an “Emotional Abstractionist”, Phil Stallard dedicates himself to creating exuberantly coloured paintings with Sydney centric iconography. The theme of water has been a prominent reference point for Phil, of which he further draws upon personal memories of Sydney and the Hawkesbury. With an aptitude to push the genre of landscape painting through an interplay between abstraction and realism, Philip’s strength is found in the ability to balance spontaneous painterly marks with careful consideration for geometric compositions.
