Neighbourhood is a new, thoughtfully considered, responsibly designed community by Breathe and Openwork. Neighbourhood comprises four distinct, mid-rise buildings — Garden View, Brick Lane, Fabric House and Quarters — arranged around a sublime, thoughtfully crafted courtyard by Openwork.
Inspired in name, form and materiality by the multi-layered industrial history of its Brunswick East location, each building is realised as a unique address, with a unique aesthetic and unique mix of elegant, generously sized residences.
Together, they form a human scaled precinct uniquely focused on community and environmental stewardship; a like-minded place where best practice sustainable design initiatives will enable carbon neutral living for generations to come.
Sustainability — in all its forms — has been an all-encompassing focus for Neighbourhood, influencing site selection at the outset, and virtually every decision thereafter: from maximising thermal and energy efficiency to waste minimisation; responsible sourcing of materials, to the conservation of natural resources; the creation of tranquil spaces for private enjoyment, to the integration of public spaces that encourage social interaction.
Importantly, Neighbourhood will be 100% fossil fuel free.
