Inspired by
and designed
for Brunswick
Architecture
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 visual grid has been meticulously crafted by award-winning architects Rothelowman. Reinterpreting the industrial regeneration of Brunswick, Canvas is cut to fit into the mosaic of Barkly Street.
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.
“We want to engage with the rich tapestry of built form which has shaped Brunswick into the suburb it is today.”
– Stuart Marsland, Rothelowman
Interior Design
The floor-to-ceiling windows provide connectivity to Melbourne, casting light on the timber floorboards.
Practicality, functionality and livability define the sophisticated interiors cleverly crafted by Hecker Guthrie. Each apartment floorplan maximises open-plan living whilst the full height windows bring the outside in.
The synergy between the neutral interior colour palette and the industrial façade creates a collision of modern and warmth in one symbiotic aesthetic. The grid flows through each apartment intersecting and marrying the open-plan living.
Terrazzo tiles and matte black tapware add a unique touch to the kitchen and bathroom. So too does the olive-green or matte white mosaic tiles within the shower. The understated interiors flowing through each floorplan are a testament to design simplicity.
Sustainable
Community
Canvas’ location is a walker’s paradise. With less than a one-minute stroll from nearby shops, a three-minute walk to the nearest tram stop, and a five minute wander to Princes Park or Jewell Station, Canvas has earnt itself an impressive Walk Score of 97/100.
Canvas is built with community and sustainability at its heart. Our 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 rain water and is offset by solar.
Local
Lifestyle
Crafted and created for Brunswick, Canvas is at the centre of this dynamic community. A short walk from nearby trams, trains and bike paths, as well as Princes Park and Brunswick Baths pool and gym facilities, Canvas is perfectly situated for an active and connected lifestyle. With close proximity to the Melbourne CBD, multiple Melbourne universities and attractions including the Melbourne Zoo, it will be a breezy commute for wherever your day takes you.
Nestled between the produce stores, retail hotspots and much-loved diverse eateries of Sydney Road, are the bustling bars, dining options and live music venues of Lygon Street. Canvas sits at the intersection of Brunswick’s vibrant community. Residents will be spoilt for choice when it comes to enjoying all that Brunswick has to offer from the moment they step outside.
