4/10 Linden Street, Brunswick East, VIC 3057

Auction: Wednesday 21st August at 7.00pm

Experience contemporary liveability with this striking designer warehouse conversion by Award Winning architects, Splinter Society. Aptly named 'Squeezebox and the Enameller,' this project transformed a 1950s enamelling workshop into a refined multi-residential space in East Brunswick, featuring just six three-story residences.

The existing brick building, a local icon with a 50-year legacy, has been meticulously preserved at the ground level. The industrial narrative extends seamlessly upward with a two-level addition that balances modern detailing with thoughtful repetition. A concertina façade ingeniously integrates light and ventilation while maintaining privacy along the laneway.

Externally, two 'golden flecks' punctuate the 'Squeezebox' like gems and internally this creates an opportunity for a private planted balcony off the main bedroom in this deluxe home.

Once inside, interiors subtly carry through the industrial materials and detailing, offering spaces designed for both retreat and connection. This residence is ideal for those seeking an inner city home that adapts to their needs, blending expansive light filled openness with intimate comfort.

GROUND LEVEL ~

The ground floor exemplifies thoughtful design and functionality. A dedicated home study, equipped with an integrated desk and full height statement bookshelf, offers a serene space for productivity. Adjacent to this is a discreet European laundry, seamlessly blending into the design.

The entrance hallway, with flowing polished concrete flooring, guides you past subtle architectural details. Look up to admire the industrial painted ceiling in matte black. A central bathroom, with its floor-to-ceiling tiles and rainfall shower over a deep soak bathtub, looks out onto a private courtyard.

At the hallway's end, a full-height glass door provides a seamless connection to the courtyard. A plushly carpeted bedroom, featuring built-in robes and electric wall panel heating, also overlooks the courtyard, inviting gentle airflow through a window. The ground floor is completed by direct access to a single car garage, enhancing both convenience and modern living.

LEVEL ONE ~

Arriving on level one reveals the home's true essence: an open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area that seamlessly integrates with an expansive terrace. Here, a harmonious dance of space and natural light unfolds, extending an inviting ambiance with beautifully considered junctions throughout.

A sophisticated palette hero's natural materiality and warming hues. Flowing polished exposed aggregate concrete flooring, soaring ceilings with exposed steel beams, understated injections of blonde timber and mood enhancing designer lighting transform the space by nightfall.

The kitchen, embodying a yin and yang aesthetic, showcases a striking contrast between a white stone bench and a black breakfast bar. Complemented by subway tiles, a mirrored pantry, a SMEG gas stove top, an oven, and a BOSCH dishwasher, it stands as both a functional and stylish centrepiece. The long sliding window offers a serene view of Lygon Street below, where the sky becomes an ever-changing backdrop to your culinary experiences.

The dining area makes a bold architectural statement with its soaring 3.8-meter-high ceiling and views of the expansive East-facing terrace. Each morning, the light floods in through floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a warm, enchanting glow across every surface.

The lounge, designed for relaxation, features an integrated floating entertainment unit and a striking zigzag wall ideal for showcasing art and books. In summer, the space transforms; boundaries blur and a seamless connection is forged with the outdoors. Two full-height sliding doors open to the terrace, allowing effortless airflow to breathe into the space and inviting blue sky and treetop vistas. This outdoor space, framed by crawling vines, offers an opportunity to cultivate a lush retreat within the urban landscape.

TOP LEVEL ~

Ascending the floating stairs, illuminated by statement lighting, you arrive at the top level, a tranquil sanctuary. Here, blue skies frame the vistas on either side of the bed, with a private balcony offering elevated views of the serene suburbia below. West-facing, it bathes in afternoon sunshine, making it an ideal spot for an apertivo in the sky.

Built-in floating robes, premium wool carpet, and a gleaming ensuite bathroom underscore the serene atmosphere of this space. This level is thoughtfully designed as a haven of calm and connection.
