A studio to grow your creative business
Our private studio suites are designed for people doing creative work who have outgrown the kitchen table or the spare room. Spacious and full of natural light, with stunning park views, they give you a permanent base to focus, create and grow, surrounded by a community of other artists and makers. Kindred has been recognised internationally for exactly this, named in Lonely Planet's Top Ten Workspaces in the World in 2016 and awarded the Maribyrnong City Council Civic Award for an Arts Organisation in 2019.
What's included with your suite
Leasing a suite at Kindred comes with everything you need to work, without the overheads of running your own space. Your suite includes free printing, free parking, NBN internet and Wi-Fi, a kitchenette, and 24-hour access so you can work to your own rhythm. You'll also get access to our meeting rooms, discounts on studio hire across the building, and the cafe and bar downstairs for coffee, lunch or a knock-off drink. Many suites have park views available too.

Who the studios suit
The suites are home to a wide mix of creative people: artists and makers, designers, illustrators, photographers, small creative businesses and freelancers who want a professional, inspiring space of their own. Some use them as a quiet place to make work, others run a small team or see clients from them. What they have in common is that they've reached the point where a dedicated studio makes sense, and they'd rather be part of a creative community than rent an anonymous office. If you're after a long-term creative studio rather than a one-off hire, this is it.
Part of a creative community
Leasing a suite means more than four walls and a door that locks. You become part of the wider Kindred community, sharing the building with musicians, performers, makers and other creative businesses. There's a cafe and bar downstairs to meet, work or unwind, meeting rooms when you need them, and a constant hum of creative activity that's hard to manufacture in a standard office block. For a lot of our tenants, that community is the whole point.
Location: Yarraville, opposite the park
Kindred Studios is at 3 Harris St, Yarraville, opposite the gardens and on the edge of Footscray. You're a short trip from the Melbourne CBD and surrounded by one of the city's best inner-west neighbourhoods, with cafes, bars and green space at your door. It's the kind of setting that makes the working day better, with the park across the road for a break and a thriving high street nearby.
How to apply or join the waiting list
Suites become available from time to time, so the best way to secure one is to register your interest early. Submit an application or join the waiting list, and we'll be in touch as soon as a suite that suits you opens up.
