In the ever-evolving landscape of modern work, the concept of flexible spaces has become a mainstay for businesses and professionals worldwide.

 The ability to seamlessly transition from one workspace to another has opened up exciting possibilities, and by Desk Surfing at locations like Work Club Locomotive in Sydney, we have turned this trend into an art form by now.

For the Office Hub team, Desk Surfing has become second nature. With our extensive experience, we've mastered the art of navigating coworking spaces across Sydney.

From Railways to Workspace

The backdrop for this Desk Surfing episode is South Eveleigh, a place with a rich historical significance. In the 19th century, it served as the birthplace of Australia's national rail network. However, it has undergone a remarkable transformation, evolving from an industrial hub into a trendy destination where work, dining, and leisure harmoniously coexist.

Despite its proximity to Redfern Station, the walk to Locomotive Street got our team slightly drenched thanks to the unexpected weather, setting the stage for a memorable day.

A Day at Work Club Locomotive

Every great day starts with two essential ingredients: good coffee and good company. For the Office Hub team, this means gathering for our weekly breakfast meeting at a café just next door to Work Club.

We make our way to our temporary office, and fall in love as we enter the premises - the space is nothing short of breathtaking. Work Club has always been synonymous with impeccable Scandi design, but this particular location holds a unique charm. Restored touches from its industrial past combined seamlessly with modern aesthetics, creates a one-of-a-kind ambiance.

We embark on a personalized tour of the space, and it quickly becomes apparent that this place had been abuzz with activity all week, hosting events nearly every day. And we get it, Work Club Locomotive provides the perfect backdrop for any event!

Just when we thought the tour couldn't get any better, it’s crashed by an unexpected guest — Boston, the office mascot in the form of a French Bulldog. What is more loveable—the remarkable space or the adorable Boston? Luckily, we don't have to choose; we get to enjoy both throughout the day.

In our dedicated office for the day, we find Boston's cozy dog bed and floor-to-ceiling glass windows offering captivating views of the Locomotive Workshop. It was an experience beyond compare, turning this office space into a treat for the senses.

The day's schedule is brimming with team meetings and online Zoom calls, providing ample opportunities to explore the various meeting rooms that Work Club has to offer. Each room is a unique gem in its own right, designed to cater to meetings of all kinds. 

Our day at Work Club Locomotive is a reminder that a workspace can be more than just a place to work—it can be an experience that engages all the senses and leaves a lasting impression. With a workspace like this, every day can feel like a perfect day.
