Creative Citadel Sydney

This once Salvation Army Citadel is now reincarnated as a space where ideas can flourish. Creative Citadel.

With carefully considered floor plans, Creative Citadel offers maximum space flexibility for designers, content creators, stills photographers, film makers, and more to work efficiently together. The spaces are also ideal for film and stills shoots, short run art exhibitions, events, workshops, meetings, even health and wellness classes, pop ups or activations.

"We like to think of Creative Citadel as a luxe space. A space that does not feel like an office or a bland white studio. A space that could be someone’s well-appointed home or a boutique city bar or hotel that has been instagrammed way too many times.

When you walk through the arched door you go on a small journey. Traveling from a cool bar reception to an open event space. Stroll a little further and you will find yourself in a shoot space. And if you look closely, you will find hidden edit suites and makeup rooms.

The best thing about the Citadel is that all of the spaces can be whatever you want them to be. Or better yet: the spaces can be whatever you need them to be."
