<hr />
Don’t change what isn’t broken.

That was the mindset of the team at design-driven Melbourne developer ANGLE when they secured another site in Kew’s exclusive Studley Park precinct.

Having completed the award-winning Fenwick just 700 metres away—selling all nine residences well before completion—ANGLE partnered with the same trusted team, with the goal of creating something even better.

They brought Edition Office and Eckersley Garden Architecture to the site, confident the team already understood what ANGLE’s core customer base was looking for. The challenge then became how to take it even further than what they’ve delivered before.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138904 project_image_fid=326894]

One of ANGLE’s key priorities is always to evoke a sense of generosity in their developments. For <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/fernhurst-kew-11-15-fernhurst-grove-kew-vic-3101">Fernhurst</a>, they reserved a significant portion of the 4,000 sqm-plus site for landscaping. Eckersley Garden Architecture collaborated with Edition Office to ensure the buildings didn’t compete with the natural environment but complemented it.

“With generous setbacks allowing for oversized gardens, we envision a lush, leafy green setting with soft edges, full planting, and a tranquil, explorative garden,” says Eckersley.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138904 project_image_fid=342071]

Edition Office designed the buildings around this extensive landscaping, centring them on a grand, central void that floods each dwelling with natural light and enables cross-flow ventilation—immersing residents in the surrounding garden environment.

Fernhurst highlights ANGLE’s meticulous attention to detail—literally, brick by brick. For the brick façade, they partnered with Krause Bricks, a family-owned Australian company operating since 1945, known for fire-resistant, carbon-neutral bricks. Krause’s handmade bricks, celebrated for their depth of colour and rich texture, have featured in luxury homes from Toorak to Potts Point, including the 2024 AIA Queensland Residential Architecture Award-winner in Mermaid Beach.

True to form, ANGLE closes the loop by collaborating with best-in-class partners for interior fit-outs. Kitchens at Fernhurst will feature integrated Gaggenau appliances, while wardrobes are being custom-crafted by Italian brand Molteni&amp;C, globally recognised for its precision joinery and craftsmanship.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138904 project_image_fid=326839]

Jellis Craig Projects Director, Stephen Bowtell, says ANGLE’s attention to every detail gives off the plan buyers a strong sense of confidence.

“The way ANGLE has designed Fernhurst, all the way down to the brick selection, shows the team is incredibly committed to the end result for their purchasers,” Bowtell says.

Over half of the 20 residences at Fernhurst have already been sold, even before construction has commenced. COBEN has been appointed as the builder, with work set to begin imminently.

<hr />
Design-driven developer <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/angle">ANGLE</a> has reached two significant milestones with its recently unveiled Kew residential development, Fernhurst.

First, they have secured funding from ANZ, making it one of the few new residential developments in Melbourne backed by a Big Four bank. With financing in place and a significant percentage of homes already sold, ANGLE has appointed high-end builder <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/builders/coben">COBEN</a> to deliver a mix of apartments and freestanding houses in one of <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/kew-vic-3101">Kew's most coveted locations</a>.

COBEN has already begun site works on the rare 4,000 sqm Fernhurst Grove site, nestled in the heart of the leafy Studley Park, where new development is exceptionally scarce.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/fernhurst-kew-11-15-fernhurst-grove-kew-vic-3101">Fernhurst</a> will feature just 18 apartments and three freestanding houses, all privately set one street back from the vibrancy and convenience of Kew Junction.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138904 project_image_fid=326922]

Fernhurst marks another collaboration between ANGLE, COBEN, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/edition-office">Edition Office</a>, and <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/landscape-architect/eckersley-garden-architecture">Eckersley Garden Architecture</a>. The same team previously partnered on ANGLE’s Fenwick development in Studley Park, a multi-award-winning project just 700 meters from Fernhurst.

ANGLE prioritizes privacy in its designs. The large size of the site has allowed for generous setbacks, and extensive landscaping has been used to almost conceal the buildings from the streetscape.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138904 project_image_fid=326892]

Edition Office and Eckersley Garden Architecture worked closely together to ensure that the design and articulation of the buildings complement, rather than compete with, the landscaping. The design highlights a strong connection to nature, with the brick façade seamlessly blending into the abundant greenery. The architecture conveys a sense of permanence, making the buildings appear as if they have been part of the streetscape for decades.

The apartments in Fernhurst feature spacious, open-plan living areas with a minimum ceiling height of three meters, designed to maximize natural light and create a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. Each of the two and three-bedroom apartments includes lush terraces or courtyards.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138904 project_image_fid=326884]

True to ANGLE's ethos, the development prioritizes space and quality over density. Despite occupying a full acre site, the apartments are generously sized, with two-bedroom units starting at over 140 sqm—some of the largest two-bedroom apartments available in Melbourne. The three-bedroom apartments offer more than 200 sqm of true indoor-outdoor living space.

The interiors are crafted with a refined and tactile material palette, featuring European oak flooring, travertine tiles, and bespoke timber joinery. Kitchens are equipped with Gaggenau appliances and Brodware tapware, while bedrooms include Molteni&amp;C wardrobes and luxurious wool carpets.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138904 project_image_fid=326839]

Fernhurst will also feature three unique freestanding houses. Two will be newly built, each with three bedrooms, a home office, four bathrooms, and garages. The third home is a grand heritage property that will be carefully restored and brought into the 21st century with a reconfigured floor plan, all while retaining its original façade.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/project-marketer/jellis-craig-projects">Jellis Craig Projects</a> Director Stephen Bowtell is selling Fernhurst, having sold out Fenwick before it completed in 2023.

"Fernhurst offers a rare opportunity for downsizers looking to live in Kew's historic Studley Park Estate," Bowtell says.

"It's not often a development in inner Melbourne combines such natural beauty and privacy, while also being so well connected to everything one of Melbourne's best suburbs has to offer. ANGLE, Edition Office and Eckersley Garden Architecture have come together again to bring what will be another landmark development in Kew for generations to come."

Builder appointed, ANZ funded: Inside Fernhurst, Kew's newest residences

High-end, architecturally-led developer ANGLE is set to launch its Kew apartment development, Fernhurst, early next year, after receiving planning approval for the 20-residence project this week.

The $80 million development on a 4,000 sqm site on the corner of Stawell Street and Fernhurst Grove in Studley Park will comprise 17 apartments and three homes, ranging in price between $2 million and $7 million.

The site has around 113 metres of frontage to Fernhurst Grove and Stawell Street. Every ground-floor apartment will have an average garden area of over 150 sqm, ANGLE’s most extensively landscaped project to date.

Having successfully developed the award-winning Fenwick project together just over 500 metres away, ANGLE is once again partnering with architecture practice Edition Office and landscape designer Eckersley Garden Architecture to deliver Fernhurst.

<img alt="Fernhurst" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="96fad925-0bfa-466f-8d34-58237ab45785" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-11-10%20at%203.34.55%20pm.png?VersionId=VVXLMihMm7FkurWBg0QzUlzZaiWDL.oA" />

Director Lachie Gibson says Fernhurst will follow in the footsteps of ANGLE’s nearby projects, representing another opportunity for the team to demonstrate its industry-leading focus on design, landscaping and architecture.

"Historically, Boroondara hasn’t had the same level of development that you see in comparable municipalities, so we do feel a responsibility to go above and beyond to deliver architectural projects that respond well to the area and resonate with locals,"&nbsp;Gibson says.

“Our portfolio is first and foremost centred on good design – we work with the best architects, interior designers and landscapers to deliver high-end projects that are still in highly sought-after locations."

The project represents the seventh for the design-led developer, which has exclusively focused on sought-after suburbs in Melbourne’s inner-east and south-east, with a portfolio encompassing projects in Camberwell, Elwood, Hawthorn, Kew and South Yarra.

ANGLE’s own data suggests that only a very low percentage of the land in Boroondara is suitable for multi-residential development – making it one of the more challenging areas of Melbourne to develop in, alongside its heritage overlays, existing neighbourhood zones and community attitudes towards higher density projects.

ANGLE secure green light for $80 million Kew development, Fernhurst

Melbourne-based architecture practice Edition Office has successfully captured the essence of luxurious simplicity in their latest project, 231 Napier Street. Designed in collaboration with development company Milieu, this collection of 11 exclusive apartments epitomises the modern urban lifestyle.

Edition Office's approach to architecture centres around the human experience, recognising that buildings are not just structures but living, breathing spaces that shape our daily lives and memories. With Napier Street, they have created a series of moments that unfold as occupants journey from the street to their homes, amplifying and revealing the nuances of everyday experiences.

The design of Napier Street pays homage to the rich history and distinctive character of <a href="/developments/fitzroy-vic-3065">Fitzroy, a vibrant neighbourhood in Melbourne</a>. Every detail, from the relief patterns to the window and door arrangements, and even the rhythm of the facade, celebrates the essence of Fitzroy's terrace-house typology.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13182 project_image_fid=150921]

Nestled on a tranquil street in the <a href="/developments/fitzroy-vic-3065">heart of Fitzroy</a>, 231 Napier Street enjoys a privileged location surrounded by cultural landmarks and commercial hubs. Bordered by Gertrude, Smith, and Brunswick Streets, the quiet pocket offers a haven from the bustling city while remaining connected to its vibrant energy. Milieu's commitment to enhancing neighbourhoods through design aligns perfectly with Edition Office's dedication to ambitious architecture, resulting in a building that harmoniously merges contemporary ideals with the historical context of the site.

Aaron Roberts, Director at Edition Office said they closely examined the materiality of <a href="/developments/fitzroy-vic-3065">Fitzroy's historic buildings</a>, studying their relief patterns, window and door compositions, and the rhythmic arrangement of party walls that define the streetscape.

"This research became the foundation for our design, ensuring a strong connection with the surrounding context. The result is a building that proudly showcases its honest character, with raw concrete shells stacked upon each other to create a striking visual impact."

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13182 project_image_fid=150926]

Beyond its exterior, 231 Napier Street reveals its true essence upon entering. Each apartment acts as a vessel, providing a sense of enclosure and protection within the bustling city. Visitors are greeted by an internal atrium enclosed in a perforated metal surround, allowing ever-changing light and air to permeate the common spaces.&nbsp;

Within the building's raw shell, a delicate timber inner skin envelopes the interiors, evoking a sense of understated luxury. The internal spaces have been thoughtfully designed to maximise natural light and airflow, with internal walls removed to create open, free-flowing areas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13182 project_image_fid=150927]

The attention to detail is evident, with full-height glazing providing outside views that reinforce the sense of spaciousness, bespoke joinery offering ample storage, natural stone benchtops exuding timeless elegance, and stained timber flooring exuding warmth and sophistication.

Additional features such as brushed nickel tapware by Phoenix, wine fridges, and fireplaces further enhance the overall luxurious feel of each apartment.

How Edition Office designed Milieu's 231 Napier Street, Fitzroy apartments

Designed-focused Melbourne developer&nbsp;Neometro has submitted plans for a collection of 23 apartments in the heart of the vibrant Fitzroy neighbourhood, in collaboration with award-winning Melbourne architectural studio Edition Office.

The project, 450 Gore Street, between Brunswick Street and Smith Street, is located in a leafy residential pocket of Fitzroy. It and has a distinct geometric form elevated by subtle sculptural detailing. Neometro are targeting a gas free project, with a 7.5&nbsp;star NatHERS energy rating. A mix of one, two and three-bedrooms will be on offer.

The intention of the design of 450 Gore Street is to complement its urban residential surroundings, with it being positioned alongside Victorian terraces, worker's cottages, and an established tree canopy. It will feature&nbsp;raw concrete, coloured tactile bricks, clear fluted glass and deep forest green painted metal detailing.

<img alt="Neometro" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f1395129-2731-48fc-8b22-5bf454e0d56f" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-07-04%20at%204.22.13%20pm_0.png?VersionId=MZrxiVOv4vYsoYrBe3lsmvNeZ2NN75zl" />

The building features a carefully staggered facade, designed in line with detailed shadow analysis to maximise natural light into each building while protecting residents’ privacy. Giving way to deep private balconies, the unique design also affords each apartment direct access to outdoor space.

Floor to ceiling windows offer impressive views out across the inner-north suburbs and towards Melbourne’s central business district, which will remain protected due to the location’s zoning rules.

The building’s ground floor apartments feature generous interior volumes, which actively engage with the street and are a natural evolution of Neometro’s loft typology in size and scale.

<img alt="Neometro" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="08fd48c4-3fac-4624-b613-a940aeef6a66" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-07-04%20at%204.00.25%20pm.png?VersionId=xa1ktvKQfmfuz_xxMKaq9pCqQAiVH2r5" />

The project marks a long-lasting connection between Neometro and the City of Yarra, where it has completed 10 projects, including its first ever project 35 years ago, 51 Little Smith Street in Fitzroy.

“Since 1985, we’ve worked to deliver better architectural outcomes for the City of Yarra," Neometro Director Jeff Provan says.

"Our buildings are designed to provide for people over the course of their lives and our long-standing residents in this suburb are testament to the quality of Neometro homes."

<img alt="Neometro" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d5a0b7d5-8d2c-4943-9401-c99ed2a22da5" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-07-04%20at%204.22.01%20pm.png?VersionId=vpbWFLW8GkaQd5qNLWyzndsy2msyqkN1" />

450 Gore Street will be the first project Neometro and Edition Office have worked on together.

Neometro Director Lochlan Sinclair says the&nbsp;building represents a new partnership founded on shared values and mutual respect.

"We are very pleased to be finally coming together, to create this stunning addition to Fitzroy and continue our long-lasting connection to the suburb," Sinclair said.

Edition Office is ran by Aaron Robert and Kim Bridgland. Bridgland says the&nbsp;architectural language of the existing industrial and post industrial buildings in Fitzroy is strong horizontal banding often supported on large robust columns or piers," Bridgland says.

"This defines the pedestrian experience and retail frontages along many of the streets and we feel is a detail worth celebrating. We have reinterpreted the recurring motif into a new design aesthetic. The banding becomes the mechanism through which to unite the site’s industrial heritage and Gore Streets’ residential fabric.

Neometro will be taking registrations of interest this month, with an official launch expected in early 2024.

The project, 450 Gore Street, between Brunswick Street and Smith Street, is located in a leafy residential pocket of Fitzroy

$1.4 million Milieu-built Napier Street, Fitzroy apartment tops Melbourne weekend auction offerings

The Melbourne developer Beulah have unveiled The Wilds, a boutique collection of houses on Northcote&#39;s Merri Creek.

The 15 detached houses have been designed by architecture studio Edition Office, the same team who were behind the multi-award winning Hawthorn House.

The positioning of the townhomes to front Merri Creek was a conscious effort, backed by research fro the Beulah team.

They looked at a study by the Swedish lecturer and professor Terry Hartig. Hartig&nbsp;looked&nbsp;at nature&#39;s influence on the mental restorative benefits for individuals, namely the benefits of water landscapes in restorative mental benefits.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=101145 project_image_fid=162759]

Those who were exposed to views and murals of waterscapes, as opposed to other nature scenes, had significantly improved attention spans, the survey found.

That saw Beulah align the frontages of the three and four bedroom houses towards Merri Creek, with the kitchens oriented to allow residents to take in the scenic views while cooking.

Beulah&#39;s co-founder and executive director Adelene Teh&nbsp;said as the paradigm shifts towards an increase in home buyers seeking a tree change, The Wilds caters to this growing demand by offering large-scale residences immersed in nature, with the conveniences of inner-city life.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=101145 project_image_fid=162761]

&ldquo;In the current Melbourne market, there are no developments of a similar nature to The Wilds, both due to its extremely unique location on the creek&#39;s edge, its rare urban house and land offering, and its design elements of connecting occupants with nature at every turn.

&ldquo;Residents will feel as though they are immersed in nature, yet the hustle and bustle of city life is only 3-kilometres away, easily accessible by train or via the Capital City Trail bike path.

Teh said they felt it was important to create a product that caters to this shift in lifestyle demands, for those who seek&nbsp;a tree change but want to be close to the city.

The houses are priced from $1.9 million.
