Rocklea sits at one end of the Ipswich Motorway, 9 kilometres south of the city, and Ipswich Road continues north from the motorway through Moorooka into the CBD. Wikipedia describes it as a mostly industrial suburb, home to many large firms from a range of industries. The Brisbane Markets occupy a 100-hectare site on Sherwood Road, where fresh fruit, vegetables and flowers are sold to wholesalers and retailers, and the suburb's name comes from the Rocky Waterholes in the area.
A suburb built around work has plenty of rooms where people wait, meet, eat and buy. Reception areas, staff rooms, cafés and shopfronts each have their own dimensions and their own traffic, and a custom lounge in Rocklea can be shaped to both. Our commercial work extends to the other fixed pieces a fitout often needs, such as bench seating, bar stools and bar fronts.
The residential side of Rocklea is small, and its homes are compact. The 2021 Census found that 11.6% of dwellings have one bedroom, more than double the national 5.3%, and 24.2% have two bedrooms, against 19.1% nationally. Three-bedroom homes make up 44.2%. Households average 2.3 people, compared with 2.5 across Australia, and family households make up 53.0% of homes, well below the national 70.5%.
In a one- or two-bedroom home, a standard three-seater can swamp the living area. Building to order means the lounge is sized to the room it will live in, whether that is a compact two-seater or a single statement sofa.
There is no Integrity Lounge Designs shopfront or showroom in Rocklea. Every custom lounge in Rocklea, for a business or a home, is designed and built at our workshop in neighbouring Salisbury. Nothing on this page should be taken to suggest a branch or team based in Rocklea.
