Coledale, 2020 | Dharawal Country
WorkLife is a company that facilitates a series of co-working spaces in small towns along the NSW South Coast. This site is located in Coledale, on the Northern Illawarra Coastline.
In 2020 COVID brought immediate demand for working from home, however this cannot always be accommodated at ones home. Co-working spaces can fill this gap allowing access to shared facilities and resources and offering a range of workspaces on a demand driven basis.
This project came up as a unique opportunity to establish the first of such spaces in the northern suburbs of Wollongong. The commercial space had to be adapted to create a desirable and efficient arrangement for a variety of work environments, catering for different needs and personalities.
WorkLife prides itself on its ability to foster community and the space was also intended to host the regular events from networking to art exhibitions, the company hosts.
Key consideration to atmosphere, light, sound, longevity and flexibility were key to this projects success.
