Located within the emerging Merri-bek Arts and Culture Precinct, neighbouring Balam Balam Place and adjacent to Brunswick Baths and Library, Saxon Street responds to the evolving character of Brunswick by providing sustainable homes to a diverse demographic.
Responding to the scale of its surroundings, the lower levels align with the street while the upper floors are recessed to create a sense of openness. The clean lines of the façade are complemented by elegant, curved details inspired by the arched windows of nearby heritage buildings, while semi-circular balconies add a contemporary feel.
With sustainability a key focus, the build targets 7.5-star NatHERS through all-electric operation, solar PV systems and a landscaped communal rooftop space. Community and connection are supported through proximity to Brunswick Baths, Town Hall and Library and vibrant Sydney Road, tram connections, nearby Jewell Station and the Upfield bike path.
