Burwood Brickworks proves that a building can do no harm to its environment, be completely accessible to the community, and commercially viable. Fraser’s innovation was to build an ordinary typology in an ordinary place for ordinary people, in an extraordinary way. It’s self-sufficient, doesn’t exceed the resources of its location and contains socially equitable, culturally rich and ecologically restorative spaces that connect people to light, air, food and community. It produces more energy than it consumes, captures and re-uses all the water it needs, uses healthy building materials, and has a net positive waste impact.
Burwood Brickworks has achieved Living Building Challenge™ Petal Certification, the most rigorous built environment sustainability standard globally. No other retail project has attempted, let alone achieved, certification, meaning Burwood Brickworks is officially the world’s most sustainable shopping centre.
