Located on Level 4 and Level 5 of Hanover House, a previously under-utilised office block which we’ve transformed into the site for BETA: a revolutionary testing ground to explore the future of retail, programming and new business models. From the moment they arrive at the building, your event guests will be captivated by Atong Atem’s awe-inspiring art installation that adorns the facade of Hanover House. You’ll be in good company; also on Level 4 is the Atelier, in which some of Melbourne’s most exciting artisans work in their unique studio spaces.
