Who are we?

From the team behind the State Buildings Lawson Flats is a new kind of membership-based social club spanning three floors in one of the city’s last remaining Art Deco jewels.

Opening in February last year, Lawson Flats is equal parts health and hedonism. Our member community has access to a collection of rooms fit for work, life, and play with co-working spaces, karaoke and listening rooms, an art gallery, movement studios, and Luis’ bar and kitchen by one of Perth’s leading chefs at the heart.

Everyday is different at Lawson flats which keeps it really interesting. Our restaurant ‘Luis’ is open Mon – Sat and is based on a European brasserie with fresh and vibrant approach to food and drink. The rest of the building will host everything from working lunch meetings, drink and canape parties in the karaoke and music rooms, set lunches and dinners up to 40 in any of our private rooms and even whole club takeovers for up to 300 where anything food and drink goes. Its never a dull moment.

When you join Lawson Flats you are part of a supportive, inclusive, and compassionate team looking to make a difference both inside and outside of our walls. We offer competitive salary packages, technical and managerial skills training, and exciting career progression opportunities within the Group.
