Those who have experienced the sharehouse situation know it can go one of two ways: play it right and it’s a beautiful thing, but choose poorly and it’s a living nightmare. Fortunately for Brisbane shoppers, new roommates Apartment and Violent Green are a match made in a rather stylish heaven. The homegrown boutiques will operate two separate stores within the combined level-one space, meaning shoppers will be stepping through two doors to get their fashion fix. Wander up the stairs at 105 Albert Street to discover one massive level full of sartorial temptations.

Men’s and women’s wear boutique Violent Green has spent the past ten years trading from Brisbane City’s Elizabeth Arcade, while also boasting a second store which will stay put on Ann Street in Fortitude Valley. Apartment has hopped around the city since its launch in late 2006, most recently shifting from a heritage-listed building in Charlotte Street to offer quality streetwear in the new Albert Street digs.
