This coworking space is located in the heart of Balaclava in a reimagined warehouse building called The Windsor Cable Tram Engine House. The building’s rich history can be traced to 1891, when local transport tycoon Francis Boardmann Clapp established the Melbourne Cable Tramway Network and powered the Windsor-Esplanade tram line from the Engine House. Today, it is just as much a symbol of industry, enterprise and innovation as it houses this creative coworking space and extensive renovations have added a large industrial event area, intimate warehouse event space, in-house cafe, outdoor BBQ area and showers. It’s located at the Windsor end of the vibrant Chapel Street in Balaclava, where you can be sure of a close village feel and distinct Melbourne vibes surrounded by other professionals and creatives. Working at this shared office, you’ll be just steps from great coffee, tasty food and popular watering holes such as Las Chicas cafe, Glick’s Bakery, Treehouse Lounge Bar and loads more. It’s also close to gyms, yoga and pilates studios, within walking distance to Trams 64/67/78 and just three minutes’ walk to Balaclava Train Station.
