083 Little Miller Street

This is a building arranged around a green centre. Little Miller Street is a multiple residential project adjacent to Balfe Park in Brunswick. The brief called for a massing response on a square site that created its own internal amenity. The scheme re-imagines medium density living as something wrapped around and a connected to a central courtyard space suspended above a level of carparking below. This space functions as shared address to homes that front it on level 1 and that acts as a constantly changing visual amenity for the apartments above which look upon it. Openwork’s landscape design establishes a generous, green courtyard that binds four architecturally distinct buildings into a single neighbourhood. A new blue stone laneway along Balfe Park extends the civic realm, improving permeability and public amenity while embedding the project within Brunswick’s fine-grain fabric. Productive planting, permeable surfaces, and shaded microclimates foster ecological resilience and community life. From ground-level town houses to rooftop terraces, the landscape supports daily routines with landscape at their centre — a living infrastructure for a low-carbon, car-light future.
