Office Habitat is an editorial platform dedicated to exploring how design shapes the way we gather, create and work. Showcased by designers, for designers, our features highlight the creativity and ideas shaping the future of the evolving culture of workplace across Australia.

We document the ideas, spaces, and people redefining the modern working environment, from workplaces and co-working studios to corporate offices, design practices, creative hubs, and community-led spaces. Our stories bridge culture, craftsmanship, and community, offering a design-led lens on how contemporary environments respond to shifting lifestyles, industry movements, and the evolving needs of work.

Through project features, designer profiles, industry insights, and cultural commentary, Office Habitat curates perspectives across disciplines and sectors. We celebrate the thinkers and makers behind Australia’s workplaces, architects, interior designers, strategists, artists, makers, and everyone shaping the future of work.

Our aim is simple: to create a space where the design community can exchange ideas, explore what truly works, and spark new ways of thinking about how we work, today and tomorrow.
