We want to engage with the rich tapestry of built form which has shaped Brunswick into the suburb it is today.

Context

Brunswick is in the midst of regeneration from a largely industrial past to a diverse range of new uses. Within this context, it is necessary to reference and engage with the rich tapestry of built form which has shaped Brunswick into the suburb it is today.

Sculptural in design and structural in form, Canvas’ façade pays homage to Brunswick’s industrial past. Formed by concrete construction and urban design principles, the structural grid spans the building, framing each apartment. Reinterpreting the industrial regeneration of Brunswick, Canvas is cut to fit into the mosaic of Barkly Street.

Architecture

Blending both rough and smooth materiality, Canvas’ façade and robust form bring forth the geometric grid, illuminating the individual ‘canvas’ created within each window.

Canvas’ open window architecture allows for a flood of light to cascade into both the residential and communal spaces. City and park views stretch to the south, whilst the built form captures northern sunshine.

Tethered to Barkly Street, Canvas’ ground level will thrive off the bustle of Brunswick. Take a step back from the excitement on Sydney Road or Barkly Square, and step into the welcoming lobby. The private and secure residential access on Barkly Street provides absolute convenience.

Community

Canvas is built with community and sustainability at its heart. The rooftop communal spaces provide a work from home space, a quiet corner with a good book, or a stunning view whilst entertaining family and friends. This residents-only area hosts communal garden spaces, collects rooftop rainwater and is offset by solar.

The lobby combines residents with the new community within the commercial spaces. All residents are encouraged to meet in the lobby cafe.

The communal lounge area, kitchen and entertainment dining spaces are solar-powered, reducing grid-power to common areas. The rooftop garden area spreads green beauty providing a space for residents to relax and unwind.

Creativity, sustainability, design and community are all parts that make up the frame for Canvas. Each of the 62 apartments has been designed with these four pillars in mind. Interiors have been a collaboration with Hecker Guthrie.
