Created in response to the shortage of rental housing in Melbourne, Milieu’s Park Street project introduces an innovative approach to urban development by repurposing ageing structures to meet modern renters' needs. Seeing the potential in an under-utilised building in Brunswick, Milieu purchased a walk-up mid century apartment block, converting it using a ‘renovate to rent’ model.

With their ‘build less, give more’ philosophy, Milieu engaged Breathe studio to design the interiors and the sustainability features. Their focus was on a light-touch renovation to preserve its essence while achieving two key objectives.
