Culture at BlackBrick

Part of the neighbourhood.

BlackBrick brings travellers and locals together through food, music, art, ideas and everyday encounters. Each building connects to the neighbourhood around it, creating spaces to work, gather and feel part of something.

01 · Culture and programming

Art, creators and live music, shaped with the people around each building.

02 · Space for ideas

Work beside the people building things.

Founders, freelancers and teams in town for the week. A desk in the morning, a meeting at noon, a conversation that carries on downstairs.

A quiet corner to read and think, BlackBrick.

A BlackBrick meeting room
  • Work desks

    Somewhere to settle in for the morning, with coffee close by.

  • Shared workspace

    Co-working is part of BlackBrick Gardens. Spaces vary across the network.

  • Meeting rooms

    Meeting rooms are available at Gardens. Facilities vary by property, so ask the team at your address.

03 · Inside the buildings

Rooms beyond the room.

A cinema, a library, a terrace and a stair worth taking. The shared spaces are where a stay turns into something more.
