The concept began after quite a few glasses of Pinot and a rant about lack of commercial studios for northern beaches creative and media professionals … and why couldn’t a chilled creative hub be incorporated alongside it.
The ‘concept’ then became a ‘project’ and soon there were draft plans and somehow the idea materialised into The Refinery Studio - with myself as half owner.
Now the partnership of inciteimages.com and andygreenimages is about to shift out of the ‘building stage’ and progress into the ‘moving in’ stage.
Word of mouth has already led to some sneaky-pre-opening studio bookings and we have already had some incredible feedback … maybe we were actually onto something and not just ranting.
Personally I am psyched to be putting the hammer and drill down and finally move in next week.
Doors will officially open soon after.
Additionally – just a mini heads up to Sydney Northern Beaches creatives: A limited number of desk spaces will soon be made available – so have us on speed dial if you are interested in becoming a part of the new creative collective (no guarantees as there are limited desks and a lot of interest)

Congratulations on an idea realised. I look forward to checking out the space when next I am North of the border. =)
