Modern homes inspired by heritage and green spaces

Prince & Parade

Prince & Parade is a collection of parkside residences in Melbourne’s inner north, designed in collaboration with Mirvac Design.

Inspired by the area’s diverse mews, green spaces and architectural character, the project extends Princes Park into the precinct through natural materials, landscaped links and outdoor amenity.

The architecture references Carlton North’s traditional terrace houses while drawing on Brunswick’s industrial palette, with rich textures, layered façades and considered detailing. The project comprises six connected volumes forming two distinct buildings. Each volume is stepped, scaled to its context and articulated in response to orientation. Warm masonry unifies the composition, with subtle variations in texture, solidity and grain responding to scale, light and perspective.

The façade reflects Brunswick’s historical brickwork while balancing the elegance of natural stone. On the townhouses, brick piers scaled over three-storeys echo the layered proportions of Victorian terrace houses and act as striking ‘bookends’.

The 166 luxury residences are designed for modern, inner-city living, offering generous floorplans and abundant natural light. Interiors are thoughtfully planned to prioritise ease of movement, privacy and comfort, enhanced by a refined palette of muted ochre and dusky earth. Shared amenities — including a residents’ lounge, library, dining room and rooftop terrace — support both relaxation and social connection.

Landscape design by Jack Merlo, extends to the wider community through a publicly accessible Green Walk linking Park Street to Brunswick Road, improving walkability and access to communal open space. Verdant pockets, rain gardens and native plantings promote wellbeing and sustainability. As an all-electric building, Prince & Parade offers elevated, conscious living that honours context, heritage and the natural environment.
