388 Barkly Street is an ethical, 11 town-home development in Brunswick, Melbourne.

Underpinning every detail and design decision is an understanding of nature’s crucial role in physical and mental health; a passionate belief that sustainability is absolutely paramount and an ethical approach to architecture that considers the environment, community and occupants.

The project is nestled within an existing brick warehouse, with a large, central, open air atrium and sunken courtyard. The project was created with biophilic principles in mind, with integrated native landscaping and views from all living spaces to meaningful outdoor space. 
Key sustainability features include a large solar array, electric charging available to all car spaces, 100% Green Energy via an embedded network, centralised hot water, all electrical appliances (no gas), sun shading to northern windows, a large central bike garage (with maintenance facilities), rainwater collection and water efficient appliances, and a high performing thermal envelope with an average NatHERS rating of 7.5.

About the
Professional

Established in 2009, BINQ is a privately owned Australian company who's influence comes from travelling the globe researching the most advanced window systems, machinery and manufacturing techniques.

Expanding its business and operations to a national, recognized brand, BINQ has two manufacturing plants located in Melbourne, Victoria, with a combined floor area of over 3,000m2, and is now Australia's largest high-performance window manufacturer.

As things have evolved, our core company values are built on solid foundations of integrity, trust, a high focus on customer service, driven by providing value, and delivering high quality products made from quality workmanship.

Our customer service is geared to exceptional standards at each touch point of the customer journey, with responsiveness being the critical driver right from the first touch point, through the sales process, to scheduling and production and after sales services.

With solid project planning, automated machinery, advanced manufacturing techniques and highly skilled joinery technicians, we consistently meet deadlines, whilst maintaining a high quality of workmanship.

Our diverse product offer consists of timber and uPVC window systems catering to a range of both residential and commercial markets in Australia, specializing in high-performing, thermally efficient, architectural window systems.

Windows have tradionally been viewed as a utilitarian product where a designer has designed a hole in a wall for a window to be installed into, whereas we view windows as much more than that. We view windows as the most important element in a building that has a dramatic impact on the design, aesthetics, functionality, liveability, and performance of a home.

We've always been very focused on the tupe of business we want to be and the type of busienss we want to be known for and it's this clarity that continues to drive the busienss everything day.

Regardless of where we've been throughout the journey, one thing has stood true. 'To raise the standard in the industry by giving customer unequivocal excellence in product and service, at honest prices', which has become the mission of the business.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
