Hub Martin Place members can head to the aperitivo bar where Fabbrica serves a breakfast-till-late-afternoon menu of their favourites.

The future of work is looking luxe
Workplaces that provide experiences on par with 5-star hotels are blurring the lines of leisure and work.
Rigid structures, isolated cubicles, and limited opportunities for collaboration—the traditional office no longer does the job. Fueled by changing work dynamics and a focus on employee wellbeing, the future of work is creating experiences that make the commute well worth it.
In the ever-evolving landscape of work, the workplace has advanced beyond its conventional boundaries. Traditional offices were only ever a ‘one size fits all’ solution to the endless complexity of work and life— and always destined for failure. It took a worldwide, once-in-a-century pandemic to finally turn the traditional workplace on its head.
The office still has a key role to play in the future of work, but that role has changed. Long gone are the ping pong tables and neon signs of the ‘90’s and ‘00’s. They’ve been replaced with a new baseline expectation for flexibility and adaptability, as well as an emerging list of hospitality-led experiences and amenities that focus on collaboration, community, and health and wellbeing. We’re seeing employeedriven demand for experiences that inspire, engage, and empower individuals. Workplaces are becoming
curated spaces for experiences—offering a destination where people want to go, and a place they can thrive.
And employers are listening. Every day at Hub we talk to businesses—from fast-growing start-ups to enterprise organisations—that are looking for workplace solutions that prioritise their team and align with their aspirations for their business and brand.
This reimagining of the workplace sees priorities shift to lifestyle, wellness and community-building. While this attitude is now being adopted more broadly, Hub’s mission has always been to create environments that not just accommodate work, but elevate it. Rebekah Murphy, Chief Experience Officer at Hub Australia, emphasises the importance of this: "At Hub, we’ve always believed that a workplace should be a hospitality-driven experience—a seamless blend of professional and personal spaces and services to support work, collaboration, and rejuvenation." With a deep understanding that the quality of the workspace experience directly impacts productivity and creativity, we at Hub meticulously curate each of our workspaces to offer more than just a place to work. All our Hub clubhouses elevate the workspace
experience by providing an array of top-tier services and amenities—from our dedicated concierge and clubhouse teams through to in-house cafes, wellness spaces, parents retreats, move rooms and more. Hub takes great care in thoughtfully curating these services, ensuring they cater to the diverse personal needs of our members. This commitment to enhancing our members' lives spans every aspect of their daily experience. However, our commitment extends beyond seamless services and functional amenities; we take immense pride in shaping environments that cultivate thriving communities.
Rebekah further highlights Hub's approach: "Our focus is on creating spaces that foster meaningful connections and inspire growth. We want our members to walk into a Hub location and feel a sense of belonging, a community that propels them forward. We believe that this is an integral part of our role as a premium workspace experience provider—creating an ecosystem of active participation in which everyone benefits." This emphasis on community-building and collaboration sets the stage for the workplace of the future—one that thrives on human interaction and shared success.
Community-building is not limited to casual interactions; it's embedded in the fabric of our culture at Hub. Regular events, workshops, and networking sessions create opportunities for our members to form lasting connections. "The power of our community lies in its ability to drive growth," Rebekah states. "We’re constantly looking for opportunities to deliver additional value for our members. One example is our executive network program that members can opt into. Initiated for executives, innovators and thought leaders, our executive connection network provides an opportunity to tap into expertise, new perspectives and support from like-minded professionals.
At Hub’s flagship location—Hub Martin Place— workspace experience is elevated to ground-
breaking new heights. The boundaries between work and leisure are blurred, and executive members can enjoy an environment that caters to both their professional and personal needs. The finer experiential details are on display with hotelesque services that start with sparkling water on arrival, and trickle down to the bespoke Martin Place monogram impressed upon your ice cube at the bar. "Every touchpoint matters," Rebekah emphasises. "From the moment you step into Hub Martin Place to work, to when you unwind, we want to offer an experience that resonates with our members’ aspirations.
“We have designed the workspace experience at Hub Martin Place around three key pillars: lifestyle concierge services offering work and lifestyle
"At Hub, we've always believed that a workplace should be a hospitality-driven experience a seamless blend of professional and personal spaces and services to support work, collaboration, and rejuvenation."

Adding a touch of culture and art to our spaces, TITLE bookstore, Milligram stationery, and Wentworth Gallery provide members with access to inspiring literary works, premium stationery, and exceptional art pieces. These partnerships enable us to offer a holistic lifestyle experience within our workspace, ensuring that every aspect of our members' lives is enriched.
"Hospitality isn't just about providing services—it's about making people feel welcome, valued and cared for," Rebekah asserts. With employee wellbeing now ranked a top priority, Hub Martin Place incorporates in-workplace amenities such as the endota Relaxation room—thoughtfully co-designed with endota to provide an in-office workday retreat. And we also provide a resident executive coach who assists members in reaching their professional and personal potential. Hub’s commitment to wellbeing extends beyond the workspace with brand collaborations that deliver holistic wellbeing programs, such as access to Sydney's private gym for business executives, Lockeroom.
The Hub Martin Place concierge team provide work and lifestyle management services for our busy executive members—from making reservations with local restaurant partners Aalia, Kazan or L’Uva, to booking tickets to a nearby show at Theatre Royal or facilitating corporate gifting solutions through our gifting partner, Sorry Thanks I Love You. This approach acknowledges that a balanced and healthy workforce is not just beneficial—it's essential for sustained success. "We're not just providing a place to work— we're empowering individuals to thrive in all aspects of their lives," Rebekah says.
As a purpose-driven organisation, our mission extends to our commitment to positively impact the world around us. At Hub Australia, we are proud to have achieved carbon neutrality across all our business operations and locations, setting a pioneering standard in our sector and securing our place as one of Australia's earliest certified B Corporations.
Rebekah speaks to our ethos by emphasising, "We’re proud of our commitment to create a positive impact on our communities, environment, and members through a number of impact-focused initiatives.
Whether that’s offering our members a working day that’s carbon neutral, executing our Reconciliation Action Plan or donating 1% of our memberships each year to impact-focused businesses". At Hub Martin Place, sustainability takes centre stage, with both the broader building and Hub workspaces thoughtfully designed to attain a series of 'green' milestones. These include an impressive 5-Star NABERs Base Building Energy rating, 4-Star Green Star Design and As Built rating.
In the midst of this constantly shifting landscape, what lies ahead for the future of work? Our outlook is one of optimism, as summarised by Rebekah: "Hub has been redefining the workspace experience in Australia since 2011, and Hub Martin Place is another example of this. As we continue to expand our network across Australia, our aim is to stay at the forefront of the industry - leading the way with a workspace experience that continues to balance productivity, well-being and a sense of connection for our community." In this vision, the workplace is not just a physical destination—it's a catalyst for transformation, collaboration, and a brighter future.
management; holistic executive wellbeing programs that promote sustainable high-performance and encourage a healthier lifestyle; and elevated hospitality experiences via partnerships with some of Australia’s leading hospitality brands.”

FABBRICA
Dubbed by Timeout as ‘the city worker’s wingman’, Fabbrica (factory in Italian) has won many fans. And for good reason.
Brought to you by the same folks behind fellow Sydney stalwarts Love, Tilly Devine, Dear Sainte Eloise and Ragazzi, Fabbrica is a boundary-pushing dining and retail space.
Fabbrica is tucked below street level on King Street in the CBD, underneath the Acne Studios boutique and an easy four minute stroll from Hub Martin Place. You can find yourself a perch to sit in the courtyard and feast on fresh homemade pasta, a limited run of deli sandwiches and lip-smackingly good bakery items like bombolini (Italian doughnuts) and cannoli. The pasta is made fresh daily; their spaghetti cacio e pepe comes highly recommended. The sandwiches change daily, and almost always sell out.
If you’re lucky enough to arrive in time, you’ll be treated to combinations like pepperoni, LP’s mortadella, ham,
pickles, provolone; coronation chicken, apricot relish, almond; or roast pumpkin, goats curd, hazelnut, salsa verde, rocket. Or there’s the fluffy, perfectly chewy house-baked focaccia. Daily toppings change but you can’t go past simple delights like cherry tomato, olive oil and salt.
If you’re just passing through, pick up cured meats, cheese, or one of the many bottles of minimal intervention Italian wine that line the walls, great for a cosy night at home or for your next dinner party.
You’ll also find the shelves stocked with luxe pantry supplies like smoked paprika from Spain, saffron threads, smoked red gum salt and in-house olives and pickles. Or better yet, pick up one of their take-home pasta packs, which includes fresh pasta and sauce for an easy and delicious heat-and-eat meal for two.
Fabbrica is only one of the (many) hits from The Love Tilly Group. This team has gems dotted around Sydney. Tucked down an alleyway in Darlinghurst you’ll find
Love, Tilly Devine (LTD), one of Sydney’s original wine bars. Opening way back in 2010, this cosy bar quickly became known for showcasing Australian natural wine stocking young, up-and-coming producers. Dear Sainte Eloise followed in 2017 in Potts Point. Like LTD, the focus here is on wine, but there’s also a seasonal menu that’s sure to impress.
In 2019 the group opened Ragazzi, which now needs no introduction. This cosy and casual CBD spot features hand-rolled pasta made using the highest quality ingredients and a wine list that highlights Italian winemaking. The good news for Hub Martin Place members? Ragazzi is three minutes on foot from the office.
When their restaurants were forced to close during COVID, the team were compelled to rethink their offering. The answer? Fresh pasta and sauce to heat and serve at home. But rather than a stop gap during the pandemic, the team used this as an opportunity to create a whole new brand and business. Fabbrica was born.
Post pandemic, the Love Tilly Devine Group keep dishing out hits. Barcelona was the inspiration for La Salut, a 40-seat wine bar in Redfern. Here you can expect all of the vibrancy and culture of Barcelona with a tapas style dining experience that’s constantly evolving.
Early in 2023, Fabbrica Pasta Bar, an expansion of the CBD version, popped up in Balmain’s Exchange Hotel. And then came The Love Tilly Group’s most ambitious venture, Palazzo Salato, a Roman-inspired trattoria in the heart of the CBD. Palazzo Salato is a little fancier than its siblings, and quite a bit bigger, with 120 seats.
The most recent addition to the group is Fabbrica Bread Shop in Rozelle—the first space dedicated entirely to baked goods. You’ll find some of the Fabbrica OG favourites, alongside some new experimental additions. At Hub Martin Place, we’re lucky enough to have Fabbrica as one of our hospitality partners.
We’ve worked with the Fabbrica team to develop a bespoke menu for the Hub Martin Place café and
aperitivo bar. Think Italian pastries for breakfast followed by Fabbrica’s sell-out sandwiches or freshlybaked focaccia for lunch.
As the working day draws to a close, retire to the Hub Martin Place bar for a charcuterie and cheese board, with a selection of cured meats, cheese and bits from Fabbrica’s favourite local and international producers. Our serviced meeting room spaces also offer Fabbrica catering—the perfect way to impress your clients, partners and guests.
And, of course, the Hub Martin Place lifestyle concierge team are on call to help you with your reservation needs. Dinner at Ragazzi?
We’re proud to have Fabbrica as one of our hospitality partners at Hub Martin Place. All the food in our café, aperitivo bar, and serviced meeting spaces is catered by Fabbrica. Continental sandwiches made with fresh deli goods, gourmet charcuterie boards, breakfast sfogliatelle, bombolini, and cinnamon buns can all be delivered straight to any our meeting spaces.

“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. I love finishing this with the smoked EVOO –it’s a wicked product that adds a whole extra dimension to the dish.”
SCOTT M c COMAS-WILLIAMS, TILLY GROUP EXECUTIVE CHEF
RECIPE
Fabbrica’s conchiglie, chickpeas, with smoked extra virgin olive oil
Recreate this mouth-watering dish at home thanks to Fabbrica sharing the love with this simple recipe.
INGREDIENTS
300g fresh Fabbrica conchiglie
150g chickpeas
Olive oil
1 brown onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, sliced
½ bunch thyme, chopped
1 bay leaf
1 large red pepper, diced
1 tin crushed tomatoes
½ tbsp smoked paprika
1 bunch flat leaf parsley, roughly chopped
Sherry vinegar to taste
Smoked EVOO
Sea salt
Cracked black pepper
METHOD (SERVES 2)
Soak the chickpeas overnight in cold water.
Drain the water, pop them in a pot and cover with fresh water, bring to boil and simmer. Keep an eye on the water level as the chickpeas will suck a lot of it up. They will take around two hours to cook.
While the chickpeas are cooking, get a separate pot on medium to high heat and start sautéing the onions in a good whack of olive oil. Cook, stirring, for about five minutes before adding the garlic, thyme, bay and diced pepper. Turn heat down to medium and cook for another 10 minutes.
Add the tomato along with a splash of water and the paprika, allow to boil then turn heat down to medium and cook for around 20 mins to half an hour.
Turn heat off and leave in the pot when it’s ready.
When the chickpeas are done – they should be quite tender for this dish – skim off any foam from the top of the pot and then add the chickpeas and about a cup of cooking liquid to the tomato and pepper base. Turn the heat on and allow everything to get to know each other.
Get a pot of water on for the pasta, bring to the boil and cook your pasta in it for around three minutes before adding to the main pot.
Give everything a stir and keep cooking for a couple minutes. Add a decent splash of vinegar, a good whack of salt and pepper (give it a taste, it will appreciate a heavy hand with the seasoning) and a healthy hit of the smoked olive oil and toss/stir everything together.
Finish with some roughly chopped or torn parsley and serve.
Crafting the Future of Cocktails
In the heart of Australia's thriving cocktail culture, a revolution is quietly unfolding. It's a transformation that promises to elevate the art of mixology, offering a sophisticated and convenient cocktail experience that's delighting both connoisseurs and novices alike. At the forefront of this revolution is Cocktail Porter, a company that's changing the way Aussies enjoy cocktails, one meticulously crafted bottle at a time.
Cocktail Porter's journey begins with a simple yet powerful idea: to bring the elegance and sophistication of the cocktail bar into the comfort of your own home, hotel room, or even your favourite bottle shop. In a world where convenience often takes precedence, Cocktail Porter seeks to ensure that quality and craftsmanship never take a back seat.
At the heart of this venture is a commitment to supplying boutique, handcrafted bottled cocktails and curated cocktail experiences. These are not your run-of-the-mill libations but meticulously crafted elixirs that exemplify the art and science of mixology.
One of the hallmarks of Cocktail Porter's approach is its collaboration with premium Australian distilleries. This partnership brings to life a sensory experience that taps into the rich tapestry of local botanical tastes, celebrating the diverse flavours Australia has to offer. Each bespoke cocktail is a tribute to our country's vibrant and unique terroir, an ode to the indigenous ingredients and traditional distilling techniques that define the nation's spirit.
At the helm of this innovative venture stands Tim Philips, an award-winning mixologist whose expertise has earned him recognition and respect in the global cocktail
community. With a keen eye for quality and a deep understanding of the alchemical magic that happens behind the bar, Tim curates every cocktail with precision and passion. His creations are a testament to the art of mixology, where science and artistry combine to create unforgettable sensory experiences.
Complementing Tim's creative prowess is Cam Northway, the founder and owner of Sweet&Chilli Australia, a globally renowned drinks agency. Cam brings a wealth of industry knowledge and a commitment to excellence that perfectly aligns with the values of Cocktail Porter. His collaboration with Tim Philips is nothing short of alchemy—a fusion of creativity, expertise, and a shared vision for redefining the cocktail landscape.
So, what sets Cocktail Porter apart from your typical cocktail experience? It's not just the convenience of having a handcrafted cocktail delivered to your doorstep, although that's certainly a significant draw. It's the attention to detail, the commitment to quality, and the celebration of local flavours that truly make the difference.
Imagine sipping on a Poor Toms Blood Orange Negroni, where the vibrant, citrusy notes of blood oranges harmonise with the bitter complexity of vermouth and the depth of gin, delivering an exquisite symphony of flavours. Or perhaps you’d prefer a Regal Rouge Wild Rosè Martini, an aromatic masterpiece where the delicate essence of strawberry gin intertwines with the sophistication of Australia’s finest Wild Rosè Vermouth, creating an alluring bouquet of taste sensations.
Cocktail Porter has not only brought the cocktail bar to your doorstep but has also opened up exciting possibilities for hotels, bottle shops and now the office.

The inclusion of these meticulously crafted cocktails within our Hub Martin Place drinks list introduces further sophistication and luxury to the workspace experience.

THE ART OF WORKPLACE DESIGN
How Hassell crafts authentic spaces for human connection.
In anticipation of the opening of Hub Martin Place, we sat down with Hassell, the design firm behind the overall restoration and interior design of the space at 44 Martin Place, to chat about the process of creating workplaces made for fostering connections.
Despite some common conceptions about interior design, architects and designers never make design choices based on pure aesthetics alone. Domino Risch, principal and commercial and workplace sector coleader at award-winning design firm Hassell, says the design process is really all about creating a space that feels both authentic and purposeful for people to connect with each other.
“When we design a workplace, we try to align the approach with what our clients are trying to achieve for the users of the space, and what the building or site suggests is an appropriate response,” Risch says. “It should serve all of the traditional functions
of a contemporary workspace, but also be warm and welcoming in new ways. What we do as designers is make choices through design that hopefully make people really want to be in the space, because it offers more than their home or other third spaces do,” Risch says.
Hassell has been an industry leader for over 80 years, founded in 1938 in Adelaide. It’s now an international design firm with nine studios across the globe and over 750 staff, specialising in architecture, landscape architecture, interior design, and design strategy.
The team at Hassell has worked on many projects with Hub over the years, each time breathing new life into commercial and heritage buildings across the country. The success of each project has ultimately come down to the strong relationship built between Hassell and Hub.
From the firm’s first project with Hub in 2013, which was worlds apart in design and execution from this new
clubhouse at the recently re-lifed heritage gem at 44 Martin Place, the process of working together to create great places for Hub members and their businesses to grow has remained much the same. “It all centres around the location of the site—the building and the precinct around the area is critical in shaping the personality of each clubhouse,” Risch explains. “Hub Martin Place is located right in the beating heart of the CBD, set in a beautiful sandstone building full of heritage and history. It all starts there.”
Originally completed in 1938, the building at 44 Martin Place is one of the finest remaining Australian examples of the inter-war Art Deco period and features strong Egyptian influences, relief sculpture, the famous MLC clock tower, and Sydney sandstone. It was originally named after the first occupants—Mutual Life & Citizens Assurance Company—and has recently undergone a considered base building refurbishment (also by Hassell), taking the bones of its early Art Deco style and
elevating them using luxury materials like brass, bronze, granite, and marble.
Simone Daly-Sorokowski, design leader for the project and Associate at Hassell, approached the design of the space by drawing on the heritage language of the building itself. “There’s the striking sandstone façade and street level base of red rose granite that the building sits on,” Daly-Sorokowski says. “We’ve taken cues from that red and the iconic urban context of Martin Place, and used it throughout the space to connect the old to the new, and build a strong relationship between the inside and outside of the building.”
Red-stained bamboo entrances to the office suites, deep red leather seating, an exposed waffle grid ceiling, and a glossy red-tiled aperitivo bar reminiscent of a whisky lounge evoke an invitation to escape the busy city
rush, with spaces for dwelling, gathering, and passing through. Think hotel bar rather than your everyday café, enveloped in luxury. This move towards a hospitalitycentred offering in the workplace is a hallmark of Hub clubhouses, where members connect and collaborate with each other and their guests over a coffee, or perhaps something more refreshing.
“The very nature of how we work has changed, and people are now choosing to come into the office to connect with each other,” Risch says. “It’s this social energy and building connections with each other that sometimes doesn’t feel like traditional ‘work’ or productivity, but is crucial to the success of every organisation. That’s why we put so much energy and thought into these spaces where people bump into each other or sit and have a conversation." Sustainability is, of course, considered throughout.
Though bamboo does have an aesthetic appeal, it was also selected because of how fast-growing and sustainable it is as a natural resource. Opting for a timber frame instead of aluminium means higher carbon offsets and less embodied energy use, given it's a renewable resource.
“In the day and age we’re in now, we need to be renewing and refurbishing our buildings instead of knocking them down and rebuilding,” Risch explains. “We need to make the best of what we have and give them a second life, instead of starting from scratch and putting everything into landfill every time. Hub Martin Place is a brilliant example of how to authentically breathe new life and purpose into a beautiful heritage building that sits in the heart of Sydney.”
"The very nature of how we work has changed, and people are now choosing to come into the office to connect with each other."
Up your gifting game with expert curation from our corporate gifting partner
Giving gifts is truly an art form, one that requires a keen eye for sourcing the perfect present for any occasion. When it comes to corporate gifting, it's not just about the act of giving; it's a strategic tool that can leave a lasting impression. Gifts are a tangible representation of your company's values and ethos, and choosing the right ones requires careful thought and consideration. Whether you're aiming to connect with new clients, express gratitude to existing ones, or foster a more engaged team, purposeful, thoughtful, and personalised gifts that align with your brand can make all the difference.
If navigating the world of gifting isn't your forte, let Sorry Thanks I Love You (STILY) take the reins. As our trusted corporate gifting partner, they are poised to fulfil your gifting brief through our lifestyle concierge team. Whether it's end-of-year client gifts, team acknowledgments, or milestone celebrations, STILY and the Hub Martin Place concierge team have you covered.
STILY's foundation lies in understanding the motivations behind gift-giving, and since 2013, they've been elevating this art. From hosting numerous pop-up concept retail spaces over the past decade, they've now found a permanent home just a stone's throw from Hub Martin Place, in the basement of Westfield Sydney.
This immersive concept store is a retailed space with a difference, starting with its sculptural timber walls that enclose a sprawling 300-square-metre space. Peer through the wood wall panels and you’ll find an
emporium of carefully curated items curated from both Australia and around the world. STILY was born out of a desire to offer a refreshing alternative to lacklustre gifting sites and the uninspired fallback of a lastminute gift voucher. Their focus is on handcrafted, expertly designed products that tell a meaningful story. Their offerings span a wide spectrum, from fashion to fragrance, flowers to food and beverages, jewellery, books, and more.
We’re talking Astier de Villatte incense handmade in Japan; resin homewares from cult favourite Dinosaur Design; handcrafted Bahen & Co chocolate made by a former wine-maker in Margaret River; sophisticated, complex honey from the nectar of some of the most remote wildflowers in Tasmania courtesy of Yves Ginat and Miellerie; and buttery salted caramels created by two great forces, Olsson’s, the oldest family-owned and operated company producing salt in Australia, and Pepe Saya’s, iconic cultured butter favoured by the finest chefs in Australia. You’ll also find iconic powerhouse brands like Issey Miyake, Rains, Y-3 and MM6 Maison Margiela.

Nasomatto Duro
Named after the Italian word for ‘hard’, Gualtieri created Duro to “enhance the manifestations of male strength”, and it certainly delivers. It’s a dry woody scent with an undercurrent of leather and animalic musk, and is the perfect thing to put on when you want to smell both vigorous and dependable.
→ Bold, raw and edgy
→ Combines notes of hardwood with leather and spice
→ Produced by hand on small batches at the Nasomatto laboratory.
NASOMATTO
Italian for ‘The Mad Nose’, Nasomatto is the project of seasoned perfumer Alessandro Gualtieri. Having cut his teeth creating designer perfumes for houses such as Fendi, Versace and Helmut Lang, Gualtieri dissented in order to realise the heretical scents of his fervent imagination. The formula of the fragrances in the Nasomatto line are kept secret but are believed to be inspired by ancient Middle Eastern perfumery.
Each scent is designed as a conceptual offering, intended to create a unique feeling in the wearer. Gualtieri describes the motto of the line as “No Limits”—what happens if you take a sensation and distil it to its most absolute essence?
Tasmanian Gourmet Hamper
There's no filler in here. No weird vinegar, token cookies, or oil that's doomed to slowly go off in the back recesses of the cupboard.
Every item in this gourmet ensemble has been made by small batch artisan producers in Tasmania and selected by Bruny Island Cheese's Nick Haddow. On their own, each item makes for a tears-of-joy-inducing present. (We're looking at you, spiced cherries.) Together, it's almost too much awesomeness at once.
BRUNY ISLAND CHEESE COMPANY
After spending ten years learning his craft from specialist cheesemakers across Europe and the UK, Nick Haddow established his own cheese factory on a wild island where shucked oysters cost a dollar. A passionate traditionalist, Nick is the only man in Australia making cheese from raw milk, and as such enjoys a cult following amongst turophiles around the world.
Bruny Island Cheese Company cheeses are made and matured using traditional techniques, they change seasonally and reflect the seasonal nature of their Huon dairy farm and herd of rare breed cows. Nick’s dedication to integrity and flavour results in some of the finest artisan cheeses made in Australia.

From a vividly illustrated anthology featuring stories of Indigenous Australia to a deep dive into the history of Swiss graphic design, here are five books we’ve pulled straight from the shelves of Hub Martin Place—thanks to our bookstore partner, Title.
100 Years of Swiss Graphic Design Newton, Riviera
VARIOUS AUTHORS
Swiss design is some of the finest in the world, refined and precise, from their watches to their pocket knives.
100 Years of Swiss Graphic Design details the country’s similarly elegant and essential approach to graphic design, from posters to corporate design, typography, and photo-graphics, and how they’ve evolved over the years to inform changing eras, political outlooks, and art movements. A must for any typeface fanatic or graphic design guru.
Dreaming the Land
An anthology featuring more than 100 artists, Dreaming the Land explores the deep connection between art, story, and Country of Indigenous Australia. Accompanying the works and words on each artist are contributions from writers Margot Neale and Djon Mundine on the movement from the early 70s to now, and its impact on both the high-end art world and the grassroots Indigenous communities.
Black Fire! New Spirits!
From the printing press of the brilliant Soul Jazz Records, Black Fire! New Spirits: Images of a Revolution explores American jazz as it exploded alongside the civil rights movement in radical directions between 1960–1975. Black Power and a new spiritual awakening combined to help define a generation of musicians, always pushing outwards, to explore how far the avant-garde could go.
In this book, big names like John Coltrane, Miles Davis, and Pharoah Sanders are photographed alongside lesser-known artists like saxophonist Anthony Braxton, flautist Hubert Laws, and Mary Lou Williams.
Helmut Newton is perhaps best known for photographing women, tall, staunch, and powerful. Here, however, he turns his lens to the French Riviera—specifically Monaco —after 20 years in Paris. The change in location saw him try his hand at landscapes while also photographing the ‘beautiful people’ including David Bowie, Paloma Picasso, and Monaco’s own Princess Caroline.
World Explained!
Distilled by design and ready to deep-dive, The World Explained by Jan Schwochow offers a compendium of 264 charts and infographics illustrating weird and wonderful topics like the international differences between red/green stop/go men, global gold reserves, and the shared and divergent theories of John F Kennedy’s murder. Schwochow covers a range of topics, including technology, art, science, politics, sports, and economy to help you better understand and enjoy information.

UNLOCKING TRUE WELLBEING
with wellness partner, Lockeroom
Sydney, a city renowned for its thriving business culture and relentless pursuit of excellence, has a well-kept secret nestled within its vibrant streets —a gym like no other.
Lockeroom Gym, often hailed as Australia's most exclusive fitness haven, has established itself as a sanctuary for high-achieving individuals, offering more than just a place to break a sweat. In a world where fitness is often compartmentalised into mere physical exertion, Lockeroom stands out for its holistic approach, commitment to personal growth, and unique networking opportunities.
With a strict membership limit of just 100, Lockeroom isn't your typical gym. It's an exclusive club, and the doors are open only to CEOs, directors, and company founders—individuals who understand the value of personalised fitness and the importance of nurturing their wellbeing. But it's not just about who you are; it's also about who you can become within this extraordinary community.
At Lockeroom, fitness isn't a solitary endeavour. Members are encouraged to engage with their fellow achievers, fostering a sense of camaraderie and connection that extends beyond the gym floor. It's a place where you can put in the physical work while enjoying the company of like-minded individuals who share your commitment to personal betterment.
The gym takes personalisation to a whole new level. Every member benefits from unlimited personal training for the first month, along with dietary guidance from an in-house dietician. Those opting for a highertier membership receive ongoing dietary support, ensuring that their nutritional needs align with their fitness goals. It's an all-encompassing approach, recognising that true fitness extends beyond exercise to encompass what you put into your body.
The gym also understands the demanding lifestyles of its clientele. It offers gradual habit-building, accommodating busy schedules filled with business meetings, networking events, and long lunches. Lockeroom ensures that fitness becomes an integral part of its members' lives, enhancing both physical vitality and mental resilience.
What truly sets Lockeroom apart is its focus on networking. The gym recognises that its exclusive clientele presents valuable opportunities for business connections. Members can turn their sweat sessions into networking opportunities, and it's not uncommon for business deals to be struck amidst the weights and cardio machines.
Lockeroom’s founder, Ralph Freedman and Lachlan Royston, identified a gap in the market, recognising that C-suite executives were underserved when it came to their fitness goals. Their vision has paid off, with Lockeroom recently launching a new location on Bligh Street, a stone’s throw from Hub Martin Place. As our wellness partner, Lockeroom have unlocked 10 highly sought-after foundation memberships for Hub Martin Place members who meet their selective requirements.
The future looks promising for Lockeroom as it plans to expand its unique model beyond Sydney's borders. With dreams of establishing branches in global hubs like New York, London, Mumbai, and Singapore, Lockeroom is poised to make a lasting impact on the world of fitness.
In a world where time is precious and fitness goals are diverse, Lockeroom stands as a testament to the power of exclusivity, personalisation, and community. It's more than just a gym; it's a lifestyle, a network, and a path to unlocking excellence in every aspect of life.
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.
1
POWER OF PHYSICAL EXERCISE
Amidst various options, regular vigorous physical exercise stands out as the most potent antidote to sickness and poor health, proving that overall wellbeing starts with the body.
2
BEYOND QUICK FIXES
While supplements, injections, and wellness fads may promise quick results, they pale in comparison to the holistic benefits that consistent physical exercise delivers for both the mind and body.
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.
Elevating workplace wellbeing
The essence of a great workspace experience goes far beyond modern amenities and accessible locations. It encompasses the overall wellbeing of individuals, both personally and professionally.
FEATURE In the wake of the global pandemic, organisations worldwide have been grappling with challenges related to employee retention and engagement. The landscape of work has changed, and so have employee expectations. Professionals want their wellbeing to be a top priority in their workplace, and there are compelling reasons for this shift in attitude, such as physical and mental health issues, burnout concerns, and the impact on work-life balance. Organisations that invest in employee wellbeing not only create a more attractive work environment, but also reap the benefits of higher retention rates, increased productivity, and a positive workplace culture.
We understand that nurturing employee wellbeing is not just a trend, but a key driver of success in the modern workplace. By supporting the wellbeing of our members, we aim to help them to be happier, healthier, and more engaged professionals. Our commitment to this is exemplified at Hub Martin Place, where we’ve proudly taken the concept of employee wellbeing to new heights. Emphasising the importance of holistic personal development, our executive wellness program features a range of partnership-led initiatives, including life coaching, professional networking, and exclusive fitness memberships. We've also established local partnerships with lifestyle brands such as Barberhood, giving all members access to inoffice grooming products and bookable services that further enhance wellbeing.
Another way we’re delivering on our wellness program is through our partnership with endota, a renowned wellness brand that embodies a profound commitment to holistic wellbeing. With a strong ethos rooted in the belief that true wellness encompasses not only physical health but also mental and emotional vitality, endota has become a beacon of tranquillity and rejuvenation. Guided by their vision of fostering a world where everyone can experience the transformative power of wellness, endota has curated a diverse range of spa
experiences and wellness treatments that offer respite from the demands of modern life. Their unwavering dedication to promoting self-care, mindfulness, and the pursuit of balance has made them a trusted destination for those seeking a deeper connection with their inner selves.
In recognition of the need to champion wellbeing in the workplace, endota has extended their services beyond the spa with workplace wellness programs. Retreats, classes and courses are aimed to reduce stress, boost productivity, and foster a positive work environment by promoting self-care and mental wellbeing among employees. Through these holistic wellness offerings, endota is helping to promote a healthier and more balanced work-life for professionals, leading to improved overall workplace satisfaction and performance.
By co-designing our Relax Room at Hub Martin Place with endota, we’ve brought an in-office sanctuary to life, helping members escape the stresses of their work day. Aromatherapy, calming teas, low lighting and lush greenery create a space for quiet reflection and rejuvenation. The endota Organics range is also available for members to experience within our bathroom grooming stations. Made from pure, natural ingredients with sustainably-sourced packaging, these small luxuries are another way we’re promoting selfcare within our community.
