Floorplans adapt with the fluctuating patterns of life and family. Each design couples the best of intimate and open-plan living, with kitchens unwinding into living spaces and expansive balconies. Positioned by parkland and greenery, pared-back spaces sit quietly in their surrounding, softened by green. Connected to trains, waterways and riverside parks&mdash;all in close proximity to the city&mdash;No.71 Station St taps into the history and natural beauty of one of the inner-north&rsquo;s most tranquil enclaves.

Nearby, the dynamic urban precincts of Collingwood, Northcote and Fitzroy add pace, bringing equilibrium to Fairfield&rsquo;s gentle rhythm.

Fairfield is diverse and evolving. This inner-northern neighbourhood is a tapestry of industrial factories, local strip-shopping and riverside living. 
Riverside paths, a village of street-level shopping and modern Australian cafes and restaurants are all in close proximity. With house types varying from double and single storey, No.71 Station St reflects Fairfield&rsquo;s varied offering. Surrounded by native eucalypt and natural amenity, Fairfield is a harmonious enclave, tucked at the edge of the of Melbourne&rsquo;s CBD between different pockets of the city&rsquo;s cultural fabric.

Fairfield offers ease of access to Melbourne&rsquo;s eastern suburbs and the creative cluster of Collingwood, Fitzroy and Northcote. Less than twenty minutes by train to the central business district, Fairfield offers a sense of community with scale.

The Osment Prahran - 3-7 Grattan Street, Prahran

The Grange - 225 Waverley Road, Malvern East

Boutique off the plan apartments have been few and far between in Prahran in recent years.

The cool suburb, known for its cafes, markets and bars, looks set to welcome one, and on arguably on one of the best sites in the area.

Developer Kincrest, who is currently developing The Watson in Essendon and&nbsp;Armytage in South Yarra and has previously delivered three projects in South Yarra, has submitted plans to the Stonnington Council for a mixed-use building on Grattan Gardens.

<img alt="Gratan St" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="08401620-6eec-42f4-b546-8199c18b36a3" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202024-06-11%20at%2010.36.45%20am.png?VersionId=ENF5HWQAoWKM4sfuZkfDItLa59Fbgp_P" />

Kincrest, led by Tom Howgate, secured <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/3-7-grattan-street-prahran">3-7 Grattan Street</a> off market, and then amalgamated the neighbouring single-level warehouse to create 1,613 sqm and a 35-metre frontage to the park.

The plans by Cheah Saw Architecture are for 22 apartments across a seven-level building. The two three and four-bedroom apartments, offering larger than standard sizes, something which is built into Kincrest's development ethos, will sit above two levels of strata offices and a ground-floor cafe and retail space that will face the park.

"The Greville St precinct, with positive input from the City of Stonnington, has rejuvenated in recent years, we’re really excited to be within such a historical, vibrant area of life. We see this development as contributing to a world-class location" Howgate says.

"Both the apartments and the offices will be desirable for a lot of people. There's transport on the doorstep with the Prahran Station, access to Punt Road, and every service you could want within 200 metres. That's on top of being directly opposite the park, an opportunity that rarely presents itself."

<img alt="Kincrest" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="41b5f516-e2d8-44eb-921e-2837b6638535" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202024-06-11%20at%2010.37.00%20am.png?VersionId=Ox1IDQzk6.073ZDOTq3FD4rLnx4aF8uy" />

Howgate says there's not been apartments or office spaces&nbsp;like this in Prahran before.

"We have a lot of confidence in the location and what's on offer, and we believe it will resonate with several buyer demographics."

Cheah Saw cleverly designed the building on an irregularly shaped block to step down from its roof, creating a green topography.

"The building is intended to be an extension of the park, a sloping green hill stepping down to Grattan Gardens.," the architecture firm noted in their documentation submitted as part of the planning process.

"The terraces are framed by greenery above and below, framing views to the park and utilising the concept of borrowed scenery, connecting the building to the park and beyond."

There's a maximum of six apartments per floor. The majority of the apartments are well over 150 sqm, something which Howgate says has stood them in good stead in a challenging market.

There will be four two-bedroom apartments, 17 three-beds, and a single four-bedroom penthouse that will share the top level with a communal terrace.

Howgate is hoping to launch the Grattan St project later this year.

Exclusive first look: Kincrest plots new Prahran apartments

Spacious Group’s latest residential development, Voyage, has been designed by the Melbourne-based Cheah Saw Architecture, who took inspiration from its enviable location in the beachside suburb of Altona.

Located at 102-106 Pier Street, Voyager has an asymmetrical form with refined materiality.

The architecture takes on the surrounding landscape, referencing the natural beauty of Altona, structured with a contemporary edge.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112195 project_image_fid=192847]

“We wanted to encapsulate the best of living in Altona, by the beach yet with all the conveniences of a bustling retail precinct at your doorstep,” Eugene Cheah and Joanne Saw said.&nbsp;

“By connecting the residences to the memories and experiences of the beach - the reflections and refractions on the water, the dappled light, sea breeze - we wanted these experiences to enhance the rituals of daily living at Voyage, so that residents would always be aware of their beautiful coastal location.”

The layered and textured design is echoed throughout the interiors, creating a sense of unison between the outdoor and indoor spaces with the flow of the living areas benefitting from full-height windows, before opening out onto expansive outdoor spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112195 project_image_fid=192845]

“We wrapped the building in a translucent screen to give privacy from the street and protect from the weather, whilst still allowing outdoor living year-round," the duo added.

“The glistening sunlight on the waves is translated into the dappled light filtering through perforated screens.

“These outdoor rooms, while still private and protected, mediate between the domestic interior spaces of the residences and the urban context and expansive surrounding coastal landscape."

Tying into the Altona landscape, Voyage is an extension of Pier Street and the Altona Pier out into the bay. The architecture evokes the experiences of the beach close by says Cheah and Saw

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112195 project_image_fid=192849]

“The greenery of the foreshore reserves is echoed in the landscaped courtyard running through the heart of the project.”

The garden is overlooked by the bridges that connects the two residential blocks, raised over the ground floor, it opens up the building to views toward the ocean and envelopes apartments in natural light.

“We’re very excited by the expansive communal garden located in the heart of the project, where residents can relax in their own private oasis whilst taking in the prime views of Voyage’s location.”
