SOPHIA // Venue by The Atlantic Group

One of Melbourne’s most iconic buildings, which famously housed David Bromley’s studio and home for 13 years, has been transformed into a unique, new events space.

Located within the iconic Prahran Arcade the historic Chapel Street icon has been lovingly restored to its former glory to become “Sophia”, a multi-faceted events space by The Atlantic Group.

Inside resides two spaces; a grand ballroom and a beautiful art gallery style space. ‘The Ballroom’ (seats 100 or 180 cocktail), an elegant room with ornate chandeliers and a breathtaking balcony overlooking Chapel Street. ‘The Gallery’ (seats 200 or 350 cocktail), a remarkable 60 metre space punctuated by 26 arched windows which reveal the elaborate architectural works suspended high above the arcade.

Sophia epitomises the excesses of the late 19th century architecture in Victoria. To put it simply… she is a showstopper!
