'Every unit has its own planter': New development aims to bring greenery to Bruce

When the COVID-19 pandemic swept across the globe, we were forced to stay at home for lengths of time we had never experienced before. Without access to dining out, live sport, or just being in large crowds in general, lockdown unleashed newfound creativity for all things DIY. With TikTok dances, tie-dying tutorials and pasta-making masterclasses, 2020 saw us embrace our inner creatives like never before.

One DIY trend that surpassed that of a lockdown pastime embraces the good old green thumb, whether it be through make-your-own indoor planters or at-home herb gardens. After all, when you’re stuck at home with only plants for company, why wouldn’t you get crafty? If there’s one place to nurture your newly found plant-parent skills, it may just be The Brooke.

Located on Braybrooke Street, The Brooke is a 99-strong apartment complex taking up the mantle on the last piece of development land in Bruce – nestled neatly between Belconnen and the city.

Developed by AVANTUS, The Brooke has one simple mission: to bring greenery back into metropolitan spaces. Each one and two-bedroom apartment has either a spacious balcony or charming courtyard with a leafy green outlook designed to immerse you in tranquillity.

“The development embraces a lot of greenery. Every single unit has its own planter, making the whole complex look very natural,” says Celiya Young of Avantus.

“They’ll be ready and planted before move-in, and all residents have to do is maintain it.”

The Brooke’s striking facade of glass, timber, and steel is paired beautifully with nature-filled barbecue and entertainment areas, giving residents their very own green retreat. Plus, the sanctuary-style living extends beyond the outdoors and into the homes via two unique interior design options, olive green “Rill” and blueish-grey “Beck”.

“Besides the normal black-and-white or dark-and-light colour schemes, the green and blue colour palettes are designed to give everyone peace of mind and warmness at the thought of going home,” says Young.

“They’re designed to match really well with the outside of the complex, bringing together all the greenery and nature back to city living.”

The Brooke offers various floor plans that ensure flexibility for buyers, complete with open-plan living spaces and light-filled bedrooms. The kitchens are ready for entertaining with stone benchtops and separate pantries. The bathrooms embrace modern styling with feature tiles.

And if you want to feel extra tech-savvy, each apartment is fitted with fingerprint door locks, so you don’t need to worry about keeping track of keys.

The Brooke is slated for completion in September 2022.
