Tour the MBS industrial-and-jungle-inspired, multi-purpose studio warehouse, a love story of our skill set and style.
Stretching the limits of square metres, this one-room warehouse is home to a trade workshop, office, kitchen, bathroom, storage, showroom, plant wall, moss wall, and a general hangout area. Awarding each area space and distinction, nothing is cramped – there’s even room for a bath.
Throughout the space you’ll find sourced vintage pieces and MBS-made recycled custom furniture, like our saloon-style doors salvaged from a demolished power plant, and the industrial billiard table light illuminating the large recycled timber table.
Juxtaposing colour and texture with a forest of indoor plants, our signature rustic materials, weathered by natural forces, tell their own story of nature: time erodes, sun bleaches, water carves rivets. The result is a natural harmony – the intended outcome of all MBS landscape and interior designs.
Horticulturally-driven biophilic design (inviting plants to the built environment) addresses the intrinsic desire for humans to coexist with nature – improving wellbeing, creativity and productivity. Plant selection and placement softens heavy industrial materials (corten, concrete and copper) for a striking indoor jungle aesthetic.
The impressive double storey vertical garden features a myriad of ferns, monstera and rhipsales. An established fiddle leaf fig and lady palm sit in oversized Atlantis pots; their leaves sway in the afternoon cross-breeze. True to our name, moss can be found in the vibrant moss wall bathroom, wall art pieces and even a coffee table.
Skylights naturally brighten the space during the day to keep our plants and people happy, while ambient lighting is strategically placed for evening soirees – assisted by an outdoor wood fire oven and kitchen for cocktail-making.
Our studio is open by appointment. Arrive, absorb, have a coffee (or something stronger) and a chat. Peruse our products – from Corten letterboxes to copper outdoor showers – and savour the atmosphere of our wilderness. We’d love to see you here.
