150-year old heritage Collingwood site re-imagined as a social enterprise — a revolutionary transformation, with community in mind.

Converting the site of a former brothel into a training academy for disadvantaged young people to gain experience and skills in hospitality. It provides a relaxed setting for gatherings, learning and functions, with a café, roastery and catering as the activity hub, sprawling out to sun-filled outdoor spaces for guests and weekend markets.

"There are no better designers of wondrous human-scale spaces in this city than Six Degrees - and we're so grateful for daily working in places you've created for us to do transformative work with young people.’" Rebecca Scott, OAM, STREAT Co-Founder & CEO
