art.haus is complete: a new landmark for Turner has arrived
After years of considered design, meticulous construction and strong buyer demand, art.haus has reached completion — bringing a distinctive new standard of apartment living to one of Canberra’s most connected locations.
There are buildings that simply occupy a site, and there are buildings that change the way a place feels.
art.haus is firmly in the latter category.
Now complete, art.haus has transformed a prominent city-fringe site into a striking residential address designed around architecture, amenity and the experience of coming home.
From the outset, art.haus was conceived to be different. Rather than treating apartment living as a compromise, the project set out to create homes with the level of design and detail people expect from a premium residence - regardless of whether they chose a one, two or three-bedroom apartment.
That vision can now be seen in the finished building.
Design that makes a statement
The architecture of art.haus is immediately distinctive.
Designed by Canberra architect Nathan Judd, the façade uses folded, oblique forms and full-height glazing to create a dynamic interplay of light and shadow throughout the day. Stone, timber, bronzed metal, natural brickwork and off-form concrete come together to create a material palette that feels substantial and contemporary.
It is a building designed to reward a second look.
The landscape design by SPACELAB continues that philosophy, with integrated planting and considered communal space bringing softness and greenery into the built form. Inside, Studio & You has focused on the details that make an apartment genuinely enjoyable to live in - from beautifully appointed kitchens to generously considered bathrooms.
Every apartment includes luxurious bathroom/s with a separate shower and bath, while kitchens feature Bosch appliances and ample storage. Across the collection, considered finishes, generous glazing and a range of floor plans give residents the opportunity to choose a home that genuinely suits the way they live.
The result is a building where the design isn't simply something to admire from the street. It is woven into the everyday experience of living at art.haus.
A location that makes life easier
Of course, great apartment living is about more than what is inside the front door.
art.haus sits at the intersection of Turner, Braddon and the City, placing some of Canberra's most popular lifestyle destinations within easy reach.
The Elouera Street light rail stop is right on the doorstep, providing a direct connection into the City and beyond. Braddon's cafés, restaurants, bars and boutiques are only a short walk away, while the City Centre is similarly close.
Haig Park and the Sullivans Creek green space provide an easy escape to greenery, while the broader Turner neighbourhood offers the quieter, leafy character that has long made the suburb one of Canberra's most desirable inner-city addresses.
It is a location that allows residents to leave the car at home more often and make more time for the things that matter - whether that's a morning coffee, dinner with friends, a walk through the neighbourhood or a quick trip into the city.
For professionals, it means an easy connection between home, work and Canberra's lifestyle precincts.
For first-home buyers, it offers the opportunity to establish themselves in a genuinely central location without compromising on design.
And for downsizers, it provides a way to simplify without giving up the space, quality, independence and connectivity that make a home feel like home.
From vision to reality
Perhaps the most satisfying part of art.haus reaching completion is seeing the original vision translated into a finished building.
The project brought together a highly considered team of architects, interior designers, landscape architects, builders and development specialists, with an emphasis on quality and longevity from the beginning.
Construction Control was selected as the builder, bringing extensive experience and a strong reputation for quality construction to the project.
That attention to detail is now evident throughout the completed building.
And buyers have responded accordingly.
art.haus has enjoyed strong acceptance throughout its sales journey, with the substantial number of homes already secured reflecting the appeal of its combination of design, location and liveability.
As the building moves from development to community, those early buyers are now becoming residents of what is set to be one of the defining buildings along the Northbourne corridor.
The final opportunity to call art.haus home
With art.haus now complete, only a limited number of apartments remain available as part of the developer's final release.
For those who have been watching the project take shape, this is the opportunity to move beyond the plans and artist impressions and experience the finished building for yourself.
And that is perhaps the best way to understand art.haus.
Walk through the entrance. Take in the architecture. See the quality of the finishes. Experience the natural light and the sense of space. Step outside and appreciate just how close everything is.
Then imagine doing that every day.
Because art.haus was never designed simply as somewhere to own an apartment.
It was designed as somewhere to live exceptionally well.
The final apartments are now available.
