Elements Brunswick offers apartment living that has been crafted to promote a more sustainable lifestyle. The carbon-neutral building, located at the heart of Brunswick, achieves its impressive 7.5-star NatHERS rating thanks to the inclusion of solar hot water, integrated rainwater harvesting technologies, the considered use of plantings, and natural ventilation that significantly improves air quality.
“Yes, there’s the 7.5-star [NatHERS] energy rating, but you’re also contributing towards mitigating climate change and at the same time - through smart design features - it will also mean a lowering of your daily operating costs.”
Gary Wertheimer, GIV Environmental Solutions
Principles of sustainability define every characteristic of Elements Brunswick, both within and out. Each apartment features elegant planter boxes that seamlessly blend the architectural elements with the natural, encouraging greenery to mingle with the facade and actively add to the rich biodiversity of Brunswick’s natural landscape. In addition, vertical gardens feature prominently on the front and exterior facade, down the entire length of the internal building and its spectacular lightwell - thoughtfully curated to improve residents’ overall health and well-being.
A host of eco-conscious elements are integrated within the building structure. High-end thermal insulation ensures all apartments keep to a comfortable ambient temperature, offering a cool home in summer and a cosy reprieve in the winter. The design also cleverly integrates natural cross-flow ventilation, further reducing daily utility costs whilst passively keeping the homes fresh and airy.
Full-height double glazed windows not only invite an abundance of natural daylight to the core of the living spaces it also improves the energy efficiency and acoustically insulates against the vibrant locale right at the doorstep.
Outside, the location boasts an impressive walk score of 97 out of a possible 100.
