DESIGNER LIVING IN CAMPBELL
MICA is exceptional in every respect. The location, in the very heart of Canberra’s most desirable inner-north suburb, is unmatched. Then there’s the scale: this boutique development has just 19 beautifully crafted homes arranged in three separate buildings. And the design: Stewart Architects have been inspired by Campbell’s stylish mid-century modern heritage.
But most impressive of all are the lifestyle options. MICA includes nine spacious two-bedroom apartments, six three-level terraces and four luxurious four-bedroom townhomes. MICA can be your cool, inner-city base, the next stage in your life journey, or your ultimate family home.

THE MIDDLE OF CAMPBELL I MICA YOUR URBAN VILLAGE
Campbell has everything going for it. There’s history: it is home to Canberra’s oldest residence, Duntroon, now the Royal Military College. There are leafy streets, parks and playing fields. There’s peace and quiet, away from main roads. No wonder it’s among the most sought-after suburbs in Canberra.
MICA’s location at the Campbell village shops puts everything you need just steps away from your door. Pick up your groceries at the IGA, nip out for coffee at the Hello Café or meet friends at the Pedlar Pub. Eat in or take-away at local favourite Leong Kitchen, or enjoy a gourmet dinner at one of Canberra’s top ten restaurants, the Lanterne Rooms.
SO COOL, SO CAMPBELL
A drive around Campbell reveals that the suburb has a distinct mid-century vibe. Many homes date from the 1950s and ‘60s, including several by distinguished architects Roy Grounds and Harry Seidler. That style has inspired the architectural approach to MICA.
The words used to describe mid-century architecture – cool, sleek, sophisticated, functional – all apply here. Materials like brick and natural stone echo those used in Campbell’s early development, while precast concrete, steel and glass create contrasting textures. As a result, MICA makes a statement all its own, while reflecting elements of the suburb’s heritage.
At MICA, outdoor spaces act as an extension of living spaces, promoting cross ventilation and natural light. Generous rooftop terraces and ground floor courtyard spaces connect you with your surroundings and each of the three buildings has been sited to maximise vistas of Mount Ainslie, City Hill and Canberra City.

MID-CENTURY MEETS CONTEMPORARY
Mid-century design is a trend that shows no sign of going away. That’s because it suits the way we live now. It incorporates natural materials and organic, sculptural forms with clean lines, open plan spaces and indoor-outdoor flow.
At MICA, interiors reflect that mid-century aesthetic, with natural timbers and tones offsetting the masonry external finishes. Soft greys, warm mid-toned timbers and black highlights create a sleek, sophisticated ambience. Rounded accents, grid-like patterns and varying textures add visual interest.
Because you’ll want to entertain, MICA’s apartments, terraces and town houses, feature designer kitchens equipped with high quality European appliances. Because you value outdoor living, there are generous balconies and roof-top terraces. You’ll have peace of mind, with state-of-the art security systems. And MICA provides ample car parking. Each apartment and terrace has two spaces while townhomes have four-car lock-up garages.
ARCHITECTURE SHOULD SPEAK OF ITS TIME AND PLACE, BUT YEARN FOR TIMELESSNESS. FRANK GEHRY
