Saxon Street by Milieu: Brunswick’s New Architectural Anchor in the Merri-bek Cultural Quarter

In the heart of Melbourne’s Merri-bek Arts and Culture Precinct, Saxon Street by Milieu introduces a refined mid-rise development that reflects Brunswick’s evolution from post-industrial edge to cultural heartbeat. This marks Milieu’s fifth local project—an articulation of their long-term commitment to place-led development in the inner north.

Architectural Integrity Meets Urban Vitality

Designed by Jackson Clements Burrows Architects with interiors by DesignOffice and landscaping by OCULUS, the project demonstrates a masterful interplay of civic-minded architecture and private retreat. The external form is expressive but restrained, informed by Brunswick’s industrial heritage and a layered material palette. Interiors continue this narrative—inviting, tactile, and deliberately flexible.

Sustainable, Human-Centred Living

With an emphasis on environmental responsiveness, Saxon Street by Milieu features natural ventilation, extensive planting, and passive design strategies aligned with broader sustainability benchmarks. Floorplans are generous, yet adaptable—supporting both shared and solitary modes of living. The development is structured around shared spaces that act as an extension of each home, designed to cultivate connection among residents and engagement with the wider community.

At the Centre of Creative Energy

Brunswick, once defined by manufacturing grit, now serves as a nucleus of progressive culture. Home to galleries, studios, and independent venues, the surrounding precinct is curated yet organic—making Saxon Street by Milieu a direct participant in this dynamic urban narrative. With proximity to trams, trains, and bike paths, residents benefit from seamless access to the CBD while maintaining deep local roots.

Saxon Street by Milieu is not simply a collection of homes—it’s a long-term proposition for those who value architecture as infrastructure for everyday life.

Otter Place by Milieu represents a decade of creative development. It encapsulates and distils our socially-driven approach to urban living and it marks another step in our goal to cultivate an everyday culture of design in our cities. The design draws on our projects completed across the decade and gets to the heart of who we are, what we represent, and what we envision for urban development. As Milieu’s new home, this building will be a tangible expression of our values. The essence of Milieu, and what we stand for, will be felt in each detail. Situated moment’s from Smith Street—the cultural and culinary heart of Fitzroy and Collingwood—this building is created in collaboration with international studio Hassell and local practice DesignOffice. As long-time residents of Otter Street, we’re proud to contribute to its streetscape and community. We’ve worked here for seven years—and we look forward to many more. In additional to the communal rooftop amenity, council are currently constructing a pocket park at the top end of Otter Street. We look forward to seeing it completed at the end of the year (council's anticipated timing).
