Architecture & Landscape

Nine home size residences designed to harmonise between the classic and the contemporary - every architectural detail contributes to ns227’s story of place and culture. Surrounding a central courtyard garden and tranquil water feature, each apartment optimises natural light and airflow. Drawing inspiration from the form, flow and graceful lines of Georgian architecture, textured brick elements and Juliette balconies contrast with modern concrete lintels and a distinctive curved entranceway; the blend of old and new encapsulating Fitzroy’s unique vernacular.

Interiors

ns227’s 2 and 3-bedroom apartments showcase spacious floor plans with carefully curated finishes that create welcoming homes; reimaging Haussmann interiors to suit a modern Melbourne lifestyle.

Each apartment unfolds as a carefully considered sequence of rooms, optimising natural light and courtyard airflow to cultivate an uplifting atmosphere. The refined interior scheme introduces a tonal palette, establishing a neutral yet timelessly elegant foundation.

At the doorstep of Melbourne’s CBD, Fitzroy exudes its own unique sense of community and connection.  Locals indulge in an eclectic mix of dining, entertainment and leisure experiences, from breakfast at Lune Croissanterie, to afternoons in Carlton Gardens and evenings of live jazz at Collingwood Yards. 

Napier Street, filled with forward-thinking residents and surrounded by the timeless charm of Fitzroy’s Victorian-era houses, engages in a unique dialogue between past and present. The street, with nearby modern eateries and free from through-traffic, creates an intimate neighbourhood atmosphere amid the vibrancy of Gertrude, Brunswick and Smith Streets.

Tucked next to Whitlam Place Park and the Fitzroy Town Hall, ns227 residents enjoy the best of Melbourne’s inner-north, with convenient access to public transport and a common bike route, or simply a short walk to local haunts such as Napier Quarter, Marion and The Napier Hotel.
