Sydney Road has been the centre of Brunswick’s vibrant neighbourhood for a century and a half. Adding to this much-loved precinct effectively takes skill, and exclusive Black St is about to do just that.
If you’ve set your heart on a luxuriously boutique apartment, Black St from developers College Property features just 11 one and two bedroom apartments, with only two apartments per floor.
There’s a natural, tangible essence to the architectural materials here, including the textured grain of the timber board-formed concrete facade and the use of recycled bricks for the interiors. These subtly connect the building to the surrounding Brunswick streetscapes.
With interiors by Studio Tom, quality fixtures and appliances have been selected throughout to create homes that are rich and welcoming. Windows are floor to ceiling and framed stylishly in black. Again, the board-formed concrete comes into play on feature walls, combining with timber finish floors and roof panels.
Living areas open up onto private terraces, partly shaded to provide the perfect outdoor setting for dining or entertaining. A natural extension to the home, they add even more value when considering the fact that most of Black St’s homes enjoy clear views of the city across the top of Princes Park. Get used to relaxing as the sun sets and the city lights up.
We love a smart and fresh kitchen, and here they feature Miele appliances, elegant tiles splash backs and a combination of closed cabinetry and open shelving in contrasting timber finishes. Pair this with the optional kitchen bench and you have a space that’s contemporary, functional and easy to see yourself feeling at home in.
Bathrooms continue the careful combination of materials on display through the rest of the home, with tiles, timber finishes and modern chrome tapware used to form a calming space. Practicalities are also stylish, with a combination of mirrored cabinetry, timber shelving and a handy towel rail beneath the wall vanity basin. Nice touch.
A healthy home requires natural breathability, and with windows on three sides these apartments maximise cross ventilation for a more sustainable approach to temperature control – a major bonus over the usual single glazed wall of larger developments.
The sustainability don’t end there, though. Black St will have a 10kW Solar System installed, which aims to reduce power consumption within the building by as much as two-thirds. Add to this the double glazed windows for further thermal control and you have some idea of how much energy saving is on the cards here.
One look at Black St’s location says it all, with some of Brunswick’s favourite bars and eateries on your doorstep. Coffee kings and queens abound, whilst Barkly Square takes care of the everyday essentials.
With the CBD just 4km away, Jewel Train Station and tram stops around the corner and one of Melbourne’s most popular bike tracks a block away, the benefits of living in one of the city’s most liveable inner suburbs are obvious. They add real convenience and lifestyle to what is possibly one of the best examples of a contemporary residential project in the area.
