Appreciation towards Carr for providing the following description:

Brunswick Yard从其工业化的城市语境出发，将建筑、室内与景观融为一体，打造出一个当代多户型住宅综合体。作为Carr迄今完成的最大住宅项目，它展现了事务所在住宅设计领域的多样性与深度。

Drawing from its industrial urban context, Brunswick Yard integrates architecture, interiors and landscape into a cohesive contemporary multi-residential development. As Carr’s largest completed residential project to date, it exemplifies the studio’s diversity and depth in residential design.

Brunswick历史悠久，工业化语言塑造了其城市风貌，这片墨尔本多元的城区以兼容并蓄的精神而闻名。回应这一充满活力的背景，Brunswick Yard既致敬了区域的历史，又创造了现代生活的当代场所，清晰地表达了Carr在设计精炼与空间规划慷慨上的一贯特色。

Rich in history and shaped by an industrial vernacular, Brunswick is a multifaceted Melbourne suburb renowned for its eclectic spirit. Responding to this dynamic backdrop, Brunswick Yard honours the area’s past while creating a contemporary place for modern living, a clear expression of Carr’s hallmark design refinement and generosity in planning.

Brunswick Yard的核心——与Carr所有项目一样——是内外无缝的整体设计。Carr负责八层楼、122套公寓的建筑与室内设计，确保了内外之间的清晰连贯。简洁的线条与纯粹的形体定义了立面，这种语言也延续进室内，营造出一致的设计逻辑与精心考量的空间体验，并通过多样化的户型加以丰富。结合高品质设计与高密度生活，该项目营造出一个充满活力且紧密相连的社区，在这个备受追捧的地段，便利与个性得以兼具。设计过程的重要一环，是在一条长期由大尺度仓库定义的街道上，引入更精细的居住尺度与特征。借鉴Brunswick快速向中高密度住宅与混合用途项目转型的城市现状，Carr希望通过赋予街景更具人性化的尺度与韵律，作出有意义的回应。

At the heart of Brunswick Yard – as with all Carr projects – is a seamless inside-out approach. With Carr overseeing both the architecture and interiors of all 122 apartments across eight levels, a clear continuity between exterior and interior is achieved. The clean lines and simple forms that define the façade extend into the interiors, creating a consistent design language and a carefully considered spatial experience, enriched by a diverse range of apartment types. Combining elevated design with higher density living, the development creates a vibrant and connected community where convenience and character come together in a highly sought-after locale. Part of the design process involved creating an architectural response that introduces a finer-grain residential character into a street long defined by large-scale warehousing. Drawing on Brunswick’s evolving urban condition, shaped by a rapid shift toward medium- and high-density residential and mixed-use projects, Carr aims to make a meaningful contribution by offering a more human scale and rhythm to the streetscape.

建筑的长街面被细分为一系列较小的模块，以四层联排的形式呈现，从而柔化了整体尺度。两条贯穿街道的巷道进一步分解了体量，改善了空间品质，增强了自然采光，并使双向采光的公寓获得交叉通风。整个项目围绕一个中央庭院布置，这一都市花园不仅为居民创造交流与联系的空间，也确立了强烈的场所感。一个关键的设计考量在于如何在八层体量下减轻视觉感受。为此，设计将四层表达为退缩的过渡楼层，形成一个如同“漂浮”于街道之上的清晰基座。

The building’s long street frontage is articulated as a series of smaller modules, presenting a sequence of four-storey townhouses to soften the overall scale. The mass is further broken down by two laneways that punctuate the street edge, allowing improved amenity, enhancing natural light and enabling cross-ventilation through dual-aspect apartments.
The project is arranged around a central courtyard, an urban garden that allows connection and interaction for the residence and establishes a strong sense of place. A key design consideration was how to deliver an eight-storey form while mitigating its perceived scale. To achieve this, the fourth level is expressed as a recessed interstitial floor, creating a distinct podium that appears to float above the street.

退缩楼层与上层进一步增加的退界带来了更高的层高。部分公寓拥有3.5米的层高与外露的混凝土顶棚，为室内空间增添了体量感与材质丰富度。在美学上，该项目以混凝土与钢网的运用为特征，采用了一种粗野主义的设计语言，对区域的工业特质进行了重新诠释。

A further benefit of the recessed floor and increased upper-level setbacks is the opportunity for higher ceilings. Several apartments feature 3.5-metre ceiling heights with exposed concrete soffits, adding a sense of volume and material richness to the interiors. Aesthetically, the project is defined by its use of concrete and steel mesh, a brutalist design language that reinterprets the industrial character of the area.

“单一材料的使用是这个项目的关键，不仅因为它与布伦瑞克的相关性，更因为它所传递的氛围感。”设计总监Richard Beel表示，“尽管这是一个以厚重材料构成的整体建筑，但通过体量的分解与绿植的柔化，再加上材料本身原始与自然的特质，它同样展现出一种轻盈。”

“The use of a singular material was critical on this project. It was chosen not just because of its relevance to Brunswick, but also for the atmospheric quality it expresses,” says Director Richard Beel. “Despite being a monolithic building with a heavy material, the way the façade has been broken down in its form, and softened by planting, it also shows a lightness through its raw and natural properties.”

金属网格在整个项目中被广泛应用，兼具功能与美学的作用：作为栏杆、遮挡及绿植支撑结构。最初在早期项目中，金属网格被用来控制视线与符合隐私规范，而在本案中，其应用尺度更大。同时，它也作为绿植的媒介，使藤蔓攀爬，随时间推移柔化建筑的体量。

Steel mesh is used throughout the project for both functional and visual purposes, serving as balustrading, screening, and a support structure for planting. Originally explored in earlier projects as a method to control sightlines and comply with overlooking standards, the mesh here is applied at a much larger scale. It also functions as a planting medium, enabling vines to climb and soften the architectural form over time.

景观设计融入了大尺度的私人户外空间，包括花坛、小径、乔木与能充分采光的大草坪，为居民营造出一个如同避世之所的环境。更多的材质温度通过一层手工木门引入，带来触感与温暖。Brunswick Yard不仅能够满足居民的生活需求，同时也回应了更广泛社区的期待。作为Carr在工业语境下贯彻其持久设计理念的独特实践，这一项目为布伦瑞克社区注入了一股精致而深远的催化力量。

The landscape design integrates generous private outdoor areas, including garden beds, pathways, canopy trees, and a large central lawn that captures northern light, creating a sanctuary-like environment for residents. Further moments of material relief are introduced through handcrafted timber doors at ground level, adding warmth and tactility.
Brunswick Yard is well-placed to meet the needs of both residents and the broader community. A unique opportunity for Carr to apply the studio’s enduring design philosophy in an industrial context, Brunswick Yard represents a sophisticated catalyst for its namesake neighbourhood.
