The Mason - Introduction
“Craftsmanship names an enduring, basic human impulse, the desire to do a job well for its own sake.” - Richard Sennett.

The Mason - Introduction
Historically, Brunswick East was home to the bluestone quarries that provided much of the building material for Melbourne’s public buildings, warehouses and cobblestone laneways. The Mason is so named as a tribute to those master craftsman who worked tirelessly to extract quality natural stone from the ground; to lay the foundations for generations of residents. The Mason presents an opportunity to secure your own piece of history, and to make your own mark on the future.

The Mason - Architecture
“We become what we behold. We shape our tools, and thereafter our tools shape us.” - Marshall McLuhan.

The Mason - Architecture
Our values are the values of those who preceded us. Victorian masons historically valued bluestone for its distinctive, timeless qualities. The Mason is a reflection of its namesake; a nostalgic building that draws upon its heritage to deliver a timeless appeal. Fundamental to The Mason is an appreciation for quality craftsmanship.

Good design always has and always will be about lines, angles and the spacial relationship between them. The Mason’s exterior draws upon those most essential architectural principles to deliver a design that celebrates lateral geometry, with a façade composed of bright, clean lines that extend across multiple levels with the effect of tying them together.

The purpose of artisan work was never to maximise profit, but always to enrich experience. Sometimes, there is nothing more enriching than an afternoon spent dappled in sunlight, surrounded by greenery & watching over the metropolis sprawled beneath you. Artist Impression - Rooftop

Simplicity is never simple. The minimalism of each bathroom is a crafty display of calculated simplicity, underneath which lies a knack for careful spatial design & eye for detail. The brilliance of the design is best displayed where it is least noticed; in the way your movements through the space flow without hindrance & in the ease with which you discover that everything has its rightful place.

First-time visitors to Melbourne seek out Lygon Street as the stretch upon which the city’s famous café culture was born.
— 20 —
The Mason - Lifestyle
Lygon Street is the home of Little Italy, but it is also the cornerstone of Melbourne’s vibrant cultural melting pot. On the same street where you’ll find the World’s Best Margherita (400 Grandi), you’ll also find grunge-chic bars showcasing local artists (Mr Wilkinson), chocolate makers that would induce even a Belgian palate (Monsieur Truffe), and Melbourne’s foremost location for Japanese saké (Kumo Izakaya).
