Housed at 11 Barrack Street, in the city centre, The Pillars is a purpose-built members’ club housed on four levels that features two-hatted Eleven Barack restaurant by The Bentley Group; meeting spaces; a private boardroom; private work environments; a members’ lounge and library; a wellness facility; garden terrace; and rooftop bar.

The initiative of six Australian entrepreneurs, the venue is promoted as “Australia’s first purpose-built gathering space for the nation’s most progressive minds in business, technology and entrepreneurship, unified by a commitment to innovation, inclusive leadership and sustainable growth in the Australian economy”.

The Pillars features spaces “designed to support a broad community of innovators, with a focus on attracting and elevating women in business”.

“We have created a future-focused destination for Australia’s most progressive minds in business, technology and entrepreneurship,” says Bradley Delamare, co-founder of The Pillars and chief executive officer of coworking office space company Tank Stream Labs.

“The Pillars is a new landmark community that reflects the diversity of thought, industry, gender, culture and background that will drive Australia’s future.

“Despite global influences and uncertainties, Australian entrepreneurs continue to demonstrate resilience and grit, and The Pillars delivers the right environment to encourage collaboration, innovation and support.”

The venue has a pipeline of curated events, mentorship programs and networking opportunities in the works.

“We have brought to life our vision to create a space that is purposefully designed to support all working styles, and a place that truly encourages innovation – from quiet concentration to expansive event space for lively collaboration – encouraging productivity, creativity and a sense of belonging,” says Emma Blomfield, The Pillars co-founder and design director, and founder of EB Design Studio.
