Assemble delivers a range of shared amenities for 4 Ballarat St, Brunswick residents – here's the full list

The affordability and sustainability-conscious developer, Assemble, recently launched its latest rent-with-the-option-to-buy apartment development in Melbourne's Brunswick.

The current factory site at 4 Ballarat Street, Brunswick will be converted by architecture firm Fieldwork to home 171 studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments.

Urban takes a look at nine amenities that reflect the world-class amenities available at 4 Ballarat St.

1. Rooftop Pavilion

Boasting an impressive view of Melbourne’s skyline, 4 Ballarat St’s eighth floor boasts a shared rooftop garden to gather and grow.

The space is designed to use as and when residents like, featuring several social zones for entertaining.

The rooftop is also a space for pets to roam free in a designated dog park, for children to play, or for enjoying the garden and planting space.

2. Barbeque area

At 4 Ballarat St, the walls of your apartment aren’t the limit to each ‘home.’

“Residents are encouraged to make the most of the spaces beyond their apartment – from being able to host events and parties upstairs on the rooftop, or to cook for friends on the communal barbeque," Rebecca Shackleton, Director of Relationships and Marketing at Assemble, said.

3. Clothesline and communal laundry

A shared clothesline delivers extra space for drying when favouring an option more energy efficient than a standard dryer.

Similarly, residents can make use of commercial washers available on the roof, despite every apartment boasting a dedicated laundry space and plumbing setup.

4. Assemble Space

Located on the ground floor, the ‘Assemble Space’ is the point of call for all services and spaces at 4 Ballarat St.

A place to grab a coffee, or have a drink, it’s also where residents will find their Assemble neighbourhood team who are on-hand to support the use of the workshop and the lending library, to arranging parcel pick up.

5. A multi-purpose workshop

Assemble have created a multi-purpose workshop space on the ground floor for a space to work on odd jobs or crafts.

Complete with workbenches, shared tools and a wash sink, residents can get things done, and lean on their neighbours for a helping hand.

6. Lending library

Designed to save residents’ money through the power of sharing, the lending library is made to house all the little things that you can’t live without, but rarely use.

These include items such as a step ladder, a slow-cooker, or tools needed to fix a bike.

7. Parcel room and cool storage

While residents are out and about, working and living, the ground-floor parcel room is a convenient and secure place for delivery services to leave online purchases and post.

Or, for residents ordering groceries and drinks, feel secure with a cool storage space that keeps produce fresh until you get home.

8. Secure bike spots

Bikes were made for Brunswick, so Assemble has ensured 4 Ballarat St is home to abundant bicycle storage.

With safe and easily accessible storage, the development will house over 207 bikes and have factored in a dedicated entry point that separates vehicle and pedestrian traffic.

9. Multi-purpose room

The multi-purpose room at Ballarat St is the perfect location for any event.

“The multi-purpose room is designed to be flexible enough for all occasions including hosting a communal yoga class or an intimate dinner party celebration with friends," Shackleton said.

Designed to extend the spaces of the home, and encourage neighbourhood connection, 4 Ballarat St’s shared amenities provide meaningful and convenient additions to residential living in Brunswick.
