Our Reviews.
In close collaboration with our global and local IT and Facilities teams, Eventbrite appointed Gattica Projects and Cradle Design to design, manage and bring to life a new Australasia workplace. Located on Melbourne’s iconic South Bank, the space is aligned with our mission of bringing the world together through live experiences. It provides a variety of settings for our staff to engage with colleagues, customers and the surrounding environment, and was delivered at an incredibly high quality standard, within the time and cost specified.

“Paul had a great feel for the architecture and design of the space and really helped us bring out the natural light and make the area fun and functional. I’m looking forward to developing the next stage of our renovations with Cradle Design.”
