Mixed-Use.
Under construction

With the constraints of a narrow site, the vision was to create a slender form that provides a transition between the taller building to the south and the adjoining heritage dwellings to the north. The roof is articulated by creating two wedges that are oriented to maximise solar access for the roof-mounted PV system which work to enhance the building’s green credentials. The steel blades reinforce the fine‐grain rhythm of Lygon Street and create a light skin over the building, with curved highlights creating a contrast to the emerging rectilinear forms in the area. The building also forms part of a growing number of developments that do not provide onsite parking, and instead encourage bicycle and public transport use.

About the

Our vision is to create architecture that is accessible and meaningful.
Blur is an architecture and design studio committed to connecting communities through considered and robust architecture. We believe that architecture has the capacity to inspire and connect, and is central to the way we navigate our world.

Who We Are
More than just a diverse group of architects or designers, we see ourselves as part of a broader fabric of custodians of the urban environment. We belong to a connection of streets, parks, communities and cities that are all essential to the human experience - both now and into the future.

We believe we can make a positive difference.

What We Do
The studio fosters a collaborative approach to developing solutions that respond to the individual needs of our clients. The sharing of ideas and experiences enriches the design process - delivering better outcomes, meaningful solutions and a lasting benefit.

Each project begins with a conversation.

We are all travellers on a path and the results of our actions have lasting impacts. It is with this in mind that we are committed to treading gently on the earth and playing our role as global citizens.

Carbon Neutral
Blur is working toward becoming a carbon-neutral business. To achieve this, we have committed to auditing our operations and offsetting unavoidable emissions.

One Percent
We are committed to supporting grassroots and charitable initiatives by donating at least 1% of our revenue or time to such causes. Over the last year, we helped feed the homeless, assisted in renovating a community space and contributed to the upgrade of a school in Indonesia.

Acknowledgement
Blur acknowledges the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, upon whose land we stand. We pay our respects to their Elders, past, present and emerging.

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.
