Northwood has taken its cues and inspiration from the breathtaking environment of adjacent Merri Creek and parklands. Seamlessly merging its nature-tinged nuances within the sophisticated urban setting of Fitzroy North, most apartments have generous views of these parklands that will never be built out. Notable is the pattern-detailed precast decorated with scattered leafy foliage, a subtle echo of the neighbouring trail and reserve. Reclaimed timbers and custom built planters have been utilised in the north façade to create the appearance of the radiant growth of branching trees. The heritage façade is a tribute to the storied past and palpable history of the neighbourhood, still richly evident in the local architecture and ambience.
