Knock Knock Cowork

What Knock Knock Cowork does

Knock Knock Cowork is an Australian private company operating a single physical coworking and serviced-office facility at 110 Highett St, Richmond, Victoria. Founded in 2020 and operating with 11-50 employees, the business provides flexible workspace solutions to freelancers, small businesses, and small teams through three subscription tiers: private offices (2 rooms for 3-10 people each at AUD $599-$649 per desk per calendar month), semi-private offices (4 rooms for 2-10 people each at AUD $449-$499 per desk pcm), and a 240m² open-plan coworking area (AUD $329-$379 per desk pcm). The facility also offers two meeting rooms (capacity up to 8 people each) at AUD $45 per hour, available to both members and external guests. Pricing is recurring monthly with a 6-month minimum term and a promotional offer of 1 month free on 12-month commitments.

The technology layer is minimal and physical rather than digital: high-speed internet, ergonomic furniture, electric adjustable standing desks, 4K widescreen televisions in meeting rooms, and a light-filled atrium for events. There are no proprietary software platforms, AI features, or digital distribution channels; the company explicitly has no mobile app and no API offering. Customer acquisition is direct-to-consumer via the company website (knock-knock.com.au), a YouTube video tour, and contact-form-driven enquiries, with no third-party channel partnerships, no app marketplace presence, and no public social media profiles listed.

The business model is a hybrid of subscription recurring revenue from desk rentals (the primary income stream) and usage-based revenue from meeting room hire. The customer base is concentrated in Melbourne inner-suburb SMBs across professional services, with six named tenants (Acclarium, AdLoco, Cate Hall Interiors, Plumfleet, Rossetti Architects, Smedley's Engineers). No funding rounds, M&A activity, partnerships, awards, patents, or leadership disclosures are present in the available data, indicating a bootstrapped, founder-operated single-site operator rather than a venture-backed or scaled enterprise.
