71 STATION ST FAIRFIELD

Toil, Tomorrow, FlowFrom working-class origins to the tranquil

enclave that it presents today, Fairfield balances urban with green; village life with city living. The suburb has forever favoured growth, adapting to different needs with each generation who have toiled to strengthen the community through harvest and industry.

Progress has come in waves, slowly cementing a pattern of shopping locally, cycling and meandering to the boathouse for riverside coffee. While our city adapts and evolves, Fairfield offers a bridge between inner-Melbourne’s curated, convenient lifestyle and the quintessentially Australian love of spaciousness and serenity.

NO.71 STATION ST FA IR FIELD

No.71 Station St is a first for Fairfield, offering a balance of contemporary, considered design and local connection on the fringe of Melbourne’s CBD. Developed by Osten in collaboration with Cheah Saw Architecture, this intimate series of refined, individual dwellings bring a blend of village life and urban living. Stacked to form a unified whole; thirteen unique residences draw on the varied housing types that thrive in the area. Inspiration comes from large homes with landscaped gardens, double-storey terraces and cottages on single levels. Staircases blend seamlessly into selectively-sourced joinery. Floorplans adapt with the fluctuating patterns of life and family. Each design couples the best of intimate and open-plan living, with kitchens unwinding into living spaces and expansive balconies. Positioned by parkland and greenery, pared-back spaces sit quietly in their surrounding, softened by green.

Connected to trains, waterways and riverside parks—all in close proximity to the city—No.71 Station St taps into the history and natural beauty of one of the inner-north’s most tranquil enclaves. Set back, yet each recognisable from the street, this hidden sanctuary is an effortless wander from Fairfield’s strip of local produce stores, coffee shops and renowned Boathouse. Nearby, the dynamic urban precincts of Collingwood, Northcote and Fitzroy add pace, bringing equilibrium to Fairfield’s gentle rhythm.

Built to last with robust, natural materiality, each design harmonises volume, light and greenery to incubate a sanctuary that prioritises well-being. Everything has a sense of order, a considered place. Liveable, elegant and refined, No.71 Station St balances the urban and the organic in a way that rings of harmonious authenticity.

shopping strip, No.71 Station St connects into Fairfield’s sense of communal familiarity. Local wine and food merchants provide access to fresh produce and seasonal knowledge. Single-storey shopfronts have often passed through the hands of parents to their children.

The design of the building pays respect to the commercial character of the locality—industrial and minimal with robust and honest materials. This palette creates homes that are contemporary, refined and substantial.
