Heritage Series

SECURE A SLICE OF HISTORY TODAY The Bachelor Flats are a rare expression of Bauhaus principles and application of postwar international Modernism; and one of the earliest examples of its kind in Australia. Visually striking and embedded with story, this project connects our past with the future, and is a unique opportunity to be part of a narrative of architectural and cultural significance. The Art Group Bachelor Flats are located in Canberra's Inner North suburb of Dickson, just 2.5km from the CBD and along the light rail corridor. Nestled within abundant gardens, its connected walkways and green spaces provide a calming retreat from city life and with Dickson Village at your doorstep, it still offers everything you need to live a modern lifestyle. This project includes 7 x studio apartments and 1 x 1 bedroom ground floor unit, finished with the care and attention to detail you can come to expect from an Art Group residence. The Bachelor Flats are part our Kashmir development which has just received The Sydney Ancher Award from the Australian Institute of Architects ACT, the highest honour in Architecture for Residential Multi-unit Housing. All heritage residence comes with full access to both Zen Garden and BBQ rooftops from individual lobbies at Kashmir just meters away, plus allocated secure basement parking, and ample visitor parking as well. CONNECTING TO HISTORY When Walter Burley Griffin designed Canberra, he imagined the Northbourne Precinct as a gateway to the nation's capital. High-density modernist buildings would line the boulevard to cater for the city's growing public service. It was the 1960s and architect, Sydney Ancher, drawing inspiration from European designs, was entrusted by the National Capital Development Commission to bring Burley Griffin's plan of a workers' paradise to life. Distinctive to Australia, the 150 flats across a unique combination of building and accommodation types were modern and sleek, with clean lines and a restrained palette, uniformly detailed and rendered with a fine aggregate and providing residents with generous gardens and connected walking paths. Art Group has now reconceived the northernmost building from the original precinct as the first project in their Heritage Series.
