Walking tour: What’s within walking distance from 4 Ballarat Street, Brunswick?

4 Ballarat Street is the latest Brunswick apartment development by Assemble Futures, with design by Fieldwork Architects and landscape design by Rush Wright.

The development places an emphasis on providing a seamless transition to the natural environment, with each apartment running on 100% renewable energy. The spacious outdoor areas and floor-to-ceiling glazing provide plenty of light to fill each living space and cross-flow ventilation. 

4 Ballarat also aims to connect its community through the functional spaces on offer, including: rooftop area for residents to relax, multipurpose room, assemble space to host social gatherings, barbecue, herb & veggie garden, dog park and lending library where the residents can share and lend their favourite books. 

The building sits in the heart of Brunswick, a popular location for cafes and restaurants. Urban has taken a look at what's in the neighbourhood.
