Take a peek at Burleigh’s new design-led creative space Sun House Studio

08 Jun 2022

On the whole, working from home is great. The lack of any kind of daily commute, the ability to sneak a siesta at lunchtime and wearing pyjamas all day are pretty high up there on the list of perks. The pitfall, of which there is really only one, is that it can be pretty lonely at times. It's a feeling that Marissa Bowden, one half of The Village Markets, knows all too well. It was this exact sentiment that was the catalyst for Sun House Studio, a gorgeous new creative space in Burleigh Heads. more

Dive right in to the coast’s new creative design den, The Ocean Club

06 Oct 2021

There's something uniquely special – and terrifying – about coming up with a completely out-of-the-box idea. On one hand, you're creating something super exciting that's brand-new in the space. On the other hand, there's nobody that you can look to for guidance as what you're creating hasn't been done before. The inspiring duo behind The Ocean Club know this feeling all too well – however, the long slog to get here has well and truly paid off. What Madison and Reuben, creative directors behind The Ocean Club, have achieved is a dreamy new design space, bringing something completely unique to the Gold Coast. more

If your walls are looking a little bare, FINEPRINT co has opened the doors to a stunning new showroom at The Marine Village at Sanctuary Cove. The studio specialises in high-end contemporary art prints for your abode, so go ahead and start visualising where to hang all of your newly acquired pieces! more
