The boardroom lounge - work, wine, & dine®

Comfort.

collaborate.

Connect.

community.

Imagine a workplace where…

You head to your office — really, more like your “home away from home” — with all the ambience and amenities of home, yet with added benefits. An entire work environment holistically designed for comfort, collaboration, connection, and community; upleveling your productivity and contentment . All under one roof.

As you enter, you receive a cheery greeting from the barista team behind the counter. They’ve already prepared your favorite morning brew. You thank them, exchange pleasantries, and make your way to your private office.

Walking through the co-work lounge, you feel the sunbeams coming through the floor to ceiling glass windows, the stillness is comforting with birds chirping in the background, the smells of espresso, the quiet hum of patrons chattering, the friendly exchange of morning hellos and smiles. People wholly dedicated to success just like you.

You settle in, check emails, and begin your team’s morning brief.

As mid-morning approaches, you’re ready for meetings. You walk out to the front bistro lounge to meet your client for a breakfast meeting. After successfully securing a significant contract, it’s time to head back through the breezeway to your office and complete some deadlines.

Having been laser focused, you suddenly realize it’s past lunch. You’re hungry, but still have a looming deadline. Interrupting your concentration is not an option, so instead of driving to food, you quickly head to the lounge, grab a freshly made organic salmon salad and iced tea at the counter, make yourself comfortable in the member outdoor patio lounge, and get right back to work.

Mission accomplished. Finally. Just in time to join a late afternoon networking event in the co-work lounge, being grateful for a respite from your computer. You are excited to connect and collaborate with others.

As the event wraps up, you invite a collegue and potential new client, to the lounge wine bar for happy hour, to savor your favorite Malbec and coconut shrimp skewers.

It’s been a good day, having secured significant additional work from your morning breakfast meeting, networking event, and evening collaborations… all at The Boardroom Lounge - Work, Wine, & Dine®.

Before heading home to your partner, kids, and pets, you know you should send a couple messages. You find a cozy luxurious couch in the lounge, kick off your shoes, pop open your laptop, and send a few emails and texts, closing out your exceptionally busy — but exceptionally productive day.

You grab your bag, shoes, keys, and head home feeling a sense of peace and accomplishment, and freshly energized. Until tomorrow….
