Private Office Space for 5-6 People on Oxford Street.
about this space
This private office space is available for rent on Oxford Street in Darlinghurst. It accommodates 5 to 6 people and features sunlit windows that overlook a communal outdoor terrace. The office can be furnished or unfurnished based on your needs. Amenities include high-speed internet, access to a communal meeting room equipped with an LED screen for presentations, and a communal kitchen fitted with essential amenities. Additional features include a weekly cleaning service, male and female communal bathrooms, and a separate communal shower.
the fwv take
Treat this Oxford Street room as an appointment-only wholesale showroom and press base rather than a public pop-up concept, because the private lockable office sits at basement level with no street frontage and comes already fitted with a stock room, garment racks, counters and fitting rooms, which is the exact configuration a small label needs when buyers arrive by booking and discretion matters more than passing footfall.
What makes this address work for buyer appointments is the combination of sunlit windows facing the communal outdoor terrace, which give enough soft daylight to read colour and fabric weight without carrying samples up to the street, and a bookable communal meeting room fitted with an LED screen that carries line sheet walkthroughs and campaign reveals so you are not paying separately for a fashion presentation venue elsewhere in Surry Hills.
In our experience the brands that get the most from a short-term commercial space of this type are independent and early contemporary labels in womenswear, menswear basics, swim, jewellery or accessories, two to six people, one to five years into trading, with a studio-led aesthetic that shows product on rails rather than through built sets, and we would say honestly that a heritage maison or any brand needing architectural theatre and a facade should instead browse all spaces with proper street presence.
On booking, the seven day minimum suits a full selling week or a content studio residency, but private offices in this Darlinghurst pocket fill fastest in the four to six weeks ahead of the May and November Australian Fashion Week and resort buying windows, so enquire two to three months out, lock the furnished or unfurnished decision at contract stage because switching later costs setup days, and confirm lift dimensions and after-hours loading for basement sample deliveries early, a detail our venue sourcing team clears with the operator before anything is signed.

activation ideas
SS/AW Seasonal Showroom
This is the strongest use of the room, because the garment racks, counters, stock room and fitting rooms are already fitted, which is rare in a private office at this price. Two or three of your team can work from the five to six desk footprint while samples stay racked and locked across a multi-week term, with the security system and air conditioning protecting stock overnight. The seven day minimum matches a full selling week, and our activation timeline maps what to lock before samples land in Sydney.
Buyer Appointments and Wholesale Previews
Works well for appointment-led selling because the room is private and lockable, so one buyer group sees the range at a time with no crossover. Plan for two of your team plus three or four buyers in the office itself, then move larger groups into the communal meeting room for line sheet walkthroughs on the LED screen. What makes this credible for a wholesale appointment is fitting rooms on the same floor as the racks, so nothing is carried between levels mid meeting.
Press Day and Collection Preview
Adequate as a press day venue provided you stagger arrivals rather than running an open house, because the private room holds five or six people comfortably and no more. Brands running press days in spaces like this typically book thirty minute editor and stylist windows, using the communal meeting room and its LED screen for the campaign reveal and the office for hands-on product. Bus stops on Oxford Street sit 55 metres from the door, which keeps late arrivals rare across a tight schedule.
Private Sample Sale
Works as an invited sample sale rather than a public one, since basement level means no street frontage and no walk-in traffic to convert. In practice the counters, garment racks and fitting rooms handle the selling floor mechanics without requiring any additional build, and the stock room takes overflow sizing behind a closed door. Capacity realistically supports six to eight shoppers per slot, so build a booked appointment list and add card terminals through point of sale and payments before doors open.
E-commerce Shoot
Works well for a product-led e-commerce shoot because racks, fitting rooms and a stock room sit in the same room as your shooting area, which removes the usual back and forth between styling and camera. The sunlit windows onto the terrace give clean daylight for colour accurate flat lays and detail shots, and on-site lighting covers full-length looks when daylight drops. Realistic crew size is a photographer, stylist and one assistant plus talent, so keep the call sheet tight.
Content Creation Day
A workable content studio for social and lookbook output, with the communal outdoor terrace giving you a second backdrop immediately outside the windows. Sound and video equipment and adjustable lighting are already on site, so interview style video, unboxing and behind the scenes content can be shot without trucking in a full kit. Elevator access and on-site parking make load-in straightforward for a small crew, and our activation service can attach a producer to the same booking.
Invite-Only Product Launch
Credible only as a small seeded launch for a handful of guests at a time, and we would be direct that anything above roughly ten people at once does not fit this floorplate. The route that works is a screen-led reveal in the communal meeting room, then rotating small groups into the private office to handle product on the counters. The communal kitchen covers light catering, and Central and Capitol Square are a ten minute walk for guests arriving from the CBD.
Small-Group Workshop or Masterclass
Suits an intimate workshop of six to eight participants rather than a ticketed masterclass, with the communal meeting room and LED screen carrying any presentation element. The private office works better as the hands-on station, using counters as worktops and the stock room for materials between sessions. Meeting room slots are shared with other building occupants, so blocks need booking in advance as part of the term rather than claimed on the day.

frequently asked
Not in the public-facing sense, and we would rather tell you that up front than let you book the wrong room. This Oxford Street office in Darlinghurst sits at basement level with no street frontage, so walk-in traffic is not part of the proposition. Where it does work is as an appointment-based temporary retail base: a private lockable room with a stock room, garment racks, counters and fitting rooms behind a closed door, ideal for invited clients, VIP selling days or a private sample sale. If your brief genuinely needs shopfront visibility, ask us and we will redirect you to frontage listings across our browse all spaces
who it suits
Brand Scale
This suits a small independent label or a distribution agency with a team of two to six people, one to five years of trading, and a wholesale or DTC base that needs a permanent Sydney working base rather than a public shopfront. The room holds five to six desks comfortably, and the communal meeting room with LED screen covers buyer presentations without you paying for square metres you only use twice a season. Where we see mismatches is when a brand expects walk-in customers or plans a launch for eighty guests. Larger houses running consumer-facing retail should browse all spaces with street frontage instead.
Aesthetic Fit
Brands with a clean, utilitarian, studio-led identity work best here: contemporary womenswear, menswear basics, accessories, jewellery and swim labels that present product on rails and counters rather than through built sets. The sunlit windows onto the communal terrace give you usable daylight for flat-lay and lookbook content, and the furnished or unfurnished option means you can drop in your own fixtures or use our furniture rental to dress it for a season. What does not work is heritage luxury, high-theatre couture or any identity that depends on architectural drama. This is a basement-level office with communal amenities, not a brand presentation space with a facade.
Best Use Cases
First choice is a permanent or seasonal fashion showroom for wholesale appointments, since the private room, garment racks, fitting rooms and stock room let buyers see a full range by booking rather than by footfall. Second is a press day and collection preview base, using the communal meeting room and LED screen for editor and stylist walkthroughs. Third is a small content studio, with terrace-facing daylight and sound and video equipment on site. Fourth is a team offsite or planning week for a visiting brand, given the seven day minimum, kitchen, showers and Oxford Street bus links a minute from the door. A public pop-up shop ranks last and we would advise against it.
Budget Signal
This sits at the accessible end of the Darlinghurst and Surry Hills market, well below Sydney CBD commercial leases and materially below hotel event space or a serviced showroom floor in Paddington. For that tier you get a private lockable room with garment handling infrastructure, cleaning, internet and shared meeting facilities included, which is stronger value than a hot desk in a co-working venue where you cannot store stock or hold a confidential wholesale appointment. Brands at this stage typically find it cheaper than a shared pop-up format on a per-week basis once fit-out is factored in.
