6 St Michael's Road

First built in 1877 when it was used for the Lodge’s meetings and was later reconstructed and adapted for weddings and other receptions, it was important to us to maintain nods to its original features while giving it new life as modern serviced office space.The carefully considered modern additions to The Lodge support the future of this building, with air conditioning throughout, luxurious bathrooms and kitchens, and even a solar PV system which is carefully positioned to appear invisible to passers-by.

Our toughest project and the third Bournemouth location for Venaspace, we are proud to reveal the transformation of this historic landmark in Bournemouth. With nods to its heritage, Victorian Masonic design and sensitive restoration of some beautiful original features, we have transformed this previously neglected Freemasons Lodge into a modern workspace.The renovation included a like-for-like replica of the ornate domed ceiling, preservation of the stone cornice and architrave and exposing the original checkered floor, which is a typical design feature of a Masonic ceremony room. The installation of two large mezzanine floor areas have transformed the two halls from their ceremonial days into stunning workspaces, giving way for two meeting rooms and up to 70 workstations.
