A Rich Heritage Meets Modern Coworking Excellence.
The historic Australian Knitting Mill, Located just a stone’s throw away from Melbourne CBD and opposite Richmond train Station, has been revitalized by inspire9 to provide a unique and inspiring coworking space.
Established in 1910, the AKM complex played a vital role in the supply of uniforms during World War One and underwent a major expansion in 1922—1925, the same time that the ‘Golden Fleece’ and ‘Kookaburra’ were established.
Today, the AKM building is part of the Richmond Hill Heritage Overlay, and Inspire9 has preserved its rich history while restoring it to its former glory.
The area has long been a hub for Melbourne’s entrepreneurial spirit, and the AKM building is now a sought-after destination for businesses seeking a unique and inspiring workspace.
