44 Greeves Street provides unique housing with a focus on light and space. Our precedent study was the ‘Nexus Housing Project’ by OMA, which used internal voids to provide light to residences. We have continued this idea through one large central cut and a smaller northern extraction to maximise direct winter sun. Each of these cuts form are expressed as glazed louvres, The brickwork is punctured with hit-and-miss patterning focused around fenestration. The northern houses interlock to allow an equality of light and individual access. The southern tower apartments all have upward sweeping windows to the north. Views and privacy in between the towers across the void are carefully controlled by a system of opacities in the louvres.

Internal Materiality brick
The modern approach to the industrial facade is continued in the interior. The materials are representative of the warehouses and factories in Fitzroy with a focus on natural surfaces, warm tones and light. white plaster
wood
External Materiality This project reects the rustic masonry qualities of Greeves Street surrounding area as well as the broader Fitzroy factory warehouse aesthetic. However the bold glazed cuts and more ambiguous hit-and-miss brickwork present a more contemporary break with tradition.
