Beautiful, bright and bold Brisbane coworking space

Gravity, a luxury members only coworking environment, launched in Sydney early last year. Located in the much sought-after CBD building 50 Carrington, the space was designed by interior designer Jacqui Esdaile of Valmont.

Here, home-style furniture in rich tones and textures contrasts against a minimalist interior with polished concrete floors and minted grey walls. Floor to ceiling glass panels conceal private meeting rooms, while a central break-out area homes a high-end mess hall/brassiere.

And now Gravity has opened its second office in the heart of Brisbane’s CBD at 140 Creek Street. Recognising the need for a local narrative for Gravity’s second space, Jacqui has echoed the design cues from the Sydney predecessor, whilst subtlety referencing the Queensland culture — that being inherently bright, bold and welcoming.

The aspirational work environment, which features a bright open plan formal reception area, dedicated team meeting rooms and a central break-out kitchen and dining room — all finished with high-specification materials, drop pendant lighting and local Queensland plant foliage — is the first of its kind for the Brisbane market.

Next, Jacqui will be applying the finishing touches to renderings for a Melbourne site, aiming to have each address have its own identity, the way each of our states have.

Garden Brasserie, a look for all seasons

Interiors Addict is a big fan of Neutral Bay’s Garden Brasserie, with its living garden wall and cosy mezzanine level. We spoke to Jacqui Esdaile, head of design for Valmont, about how she and her team achieved the look.

“Garden Brasserie evolved from the desire for a social space that breaks the standard mould of wine bars popping up across Sydney’s inner city,” she says. “Working closely with the owners from concept to implementation we created a location with light, bright, open space for daytime get togethers, and an intimate, playful space for evenings.

“The design was based on a European sunroom theme by day and an intimate garden party by night, creating the perfect setting for patrons visiting day or night, summer or winter, weekdays or weekends. We think the success of the fitout comes down to the Garden Brasserie’s clever balance of furnishings, the creation of different atmospheres in different spaces and the subtle integration of split levels. “
