The Elm

The Elm
Parkside. Brunswick East.
The Elm by MOS Architects is a sophisticated, contemporary reflection of Brunswick East’s history and evolution. Comprising of just 28 apartments, it is truly boutique in both its size and design. The graceful lines speak of a building that offers contemporary low-maintenance, elegant living, while the materials pay homage to the suburb’s industrial past.

Concrete, metal and brickwork bring textural interest to the building as well as reflecting elements of the neighbourhood.

The restrained and considered palette used for interior and exterior finishes ensures aesthetic longevity and graceful ageing. The Elm will keep its good looks for decades to come.

The majority of apartments – 20 out of the 28 – are three bedrooms with the space and amenity of a family home. This signals the maturity of the Brunswick East market and reflects demand from owner / occupier professional couples and downsizers looking for a spacious, low-maintenance urban lifestyle.

The design is light and airy. On the upper floors, a glazed lift lobby is connected to apartments, not by long enclosed corridors, but attractive covered walkways flanked by lush planter boxes.

Residents relax, unwind and entertain on the first-floor podium level. Here, a common area bathed in north-facing sunshine is extensively landscaped and has a communal barbecue area. A large, central void above the podium draws light and sunshine into the building.

Sustainability is built in with a 42KW solar electricity system with a 6.6 NatHERS Star Energy Rating+ 65% BESS SCORE and up to 12,000 litres of rainwater is collected and connected to toilets.

Our changing attitudes to transport are catered for. Each car space can be fitted with a power outlet for charging electric vehicles and there is secure storage for 28 bicycles on wall-mounted racks or floor-mounted rails. All apartments have one storage cage.
