Moss Boss Studios’ office space sits aloft our studio warehouse on the mezzanine level, designed and built to maximise creativity and collaboration.
Close to the skylight cut-outs, the mezzanine level reflects the weather above: warm and bright on sunny days, while perforated copper pendants throw soft light and shadows through the moodier winter months. Soaking up this natural light, mature monstera and fiddle leaf figs, plus our industrial oversized grid mirror which extends the illusion of space.
You might find us sitting at our MBS-made desk; a long slab of rough-edged timber designed to balance personal space with a feeling of connection. Another MBS creation – display shelves cut from railway sleepers – house our design book collection (the favoured gift for any landscape designer) and office knick-knacks.
Select pieces elevate our vintage industrial vibe: a timber-framed glass whiteboard, perfect for group planning sessions, and a vintage green leather swivel chair sourced with much excitement in Islington, NSW.
Finally, to give the mezzanine its edge (literally), long planter boxes are clad with recycled railway sleeper timbers and filled with cascading plants. Not content with any old balustrade, this focus piece adds a lived-in charm to both the mezzanine and ground level views.
