Base 64

The workplace today needs community, connection and inclusion.
Base 64 is set up as a community of cohabitating businesses under the umbrella of former Internode chief Simon Hackett. Seen as a technology incubator, it eschews the short term excesses of a Silicon Valley “fun park” office for an emphasis on belonging, integration with the outdoors, rich, lush, tactile materials and a sense of comfort and wellbeing.
All this is underpinned by a strict environmental responsibility and adaptive re-use.
