The affluent coastal <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/brighton-vic">suburb of Brighton</a> in Melbourne&rsquo;s south-east welcomes its newest luxurious development, fit for the area, The Brighton Collection. 
Designed by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/martin-freidrich-architects">Martin Freidrich Architects</a>, the building comprises of 10 spacious and elegant residences across three levels to capture the essence of nature through thoughtful design amongst the urban calamity life can become.

Between both beach and urban lifestyles, residents are always on both sides of calm and glamorous and your own choice of colour palette can reflect personality into your home however you choose. The warm palette draws on the essence of bayside living with classic soft and natural colours. The cool palette dials up the sophistication with an effortless urban edge. 
Both feature natural timbers, stunning stonework, plush carpeting with acoustic underlay and soft satin-touch finishes.

Take a moment to indulge in the sweet serenity of twilight transforming the skyline from your own private terrace or courtyard to which each residence can enjoy. 
The outdoors spaces reflect the individual as you are with expansive glazed doors sliding gracefully to create corners of openness where the transition from inside to out is seamless.

With only two penthouses available, you can imagine that these top floor residences are as sophisticated and meticulously designed as any home.&nbsp; 
Oversized bedrooms feature an ensuite each with a skylight filling the space with natural light with a powder room for guests to have their own private luxury.

The glamorous master bedroom includes an extravagant walk through wardrobe and free- standing bath within the spacious bathroom, a large private study room and a full sized laundry with plenty of space for storage. 
Beautiful timber flooring is featured throughout all living areas with a glamorous fireplace for the cool evenings and a state of the art kitchen with a marble bench top, Gaggenau and Miele appliances, walk in pantry and wine cellar.

The living areas in all apartments extend to a large terrace and built in barbeque perfect for entertaining. <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/carpe">Developers Carpe</a>, have ensured that each home is fit and comfortable for the people that will inhabit them, giving a sense of home through large spaces flowing to nature and private moments around the home.

Located so closely to the water&#39;s edge, enjoy a short walk to the beach for relief on a hot summer&#39;s day or the fine restaurant and boutique clothing options that line Church Street around the corner from your very doorstep. 
Local public and private primary and secondary colleges are also in walking distance with the benefits of a comfortable lifestyle with large theatres and parklands nearby.

The Brighton Collection - 19-21 Male Street, Brighton

Trentham House - 12-14 Trentham Street, Sandringham

40 Adams Street, South Yarra

It can be a long and arduous journey for developers after they submit a development application to local councils.

They each have different criteria and move at different speeds.

Sometimes however, they can all come at once. That's certainly been the case for Tim Campbell and Stuart Kacir's Carpe Group, which has had two developments approved in the last few weeks.

Carpe, who develop for downsizers right across Melbourne, has secured approval for two projects in the Bayside suburbs of Hampton and Sandringham, and hope to secure one in Kew where they're currently developing The Walton.

In Sandringham, Carpe secured eight townhouses across two blocks which will make way for <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/the-coterie-49-51-abbott-street-sandringham">The Coterie</a>, a Warren &amp; Mahoney-designed building of 25 apartments.

They will be a mix of 11 generously sized two-beds, starting from 100 sqm, and 14 three-bed apartments which get as large as 190 sqm internally. The penthouses will have large rooftop terraces with the option to add a spa. Every apartment will have interiors by Lisa Buxton.

The project sits in a cracking spot at <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/the-coterie-49-51-abbott-street-sandringham">49-51 Abbott Street</a>, toward the western end of the street near Sandringham Station, the surrounding retail amenity, and Sandringham Beach.

Carpe's other Bayside project, in <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/hampton-vic">Hampton</a>, is another that's all about the location. Strategically located one street back from the vibrant Hampton Street with all the retail, hospitality and Hampton Station. Carpe will launch 18 apartments at 8-10 Ocean Street, designed by Martin Friedrich Architects who will also handlethe interiors.

That building, with five two-beds from 113 sqm and 13 three-bed apartments, will replace an old house, which has already been demolished, and two side by side townhouses.&nbsp;

Carpe will be developing Ocean Street alongside joint venture partner Icon Kajima. They're forecasting a spring launch after they complete their display suite on Hampton Street.

Carpe is hoping to get another project to get approved in Kew, where they're approaching completion on the nearly sold-out The Walton. They've grabbed a 3,709 sqm site at 85 Studley Park Road, near Studley Park, where they're planning 31 apartments.

Campbell says that while it takes more time than ever to put together a good site in a good location, it's always time well spent.&nbsp;

"Both the Bayside projects are a short walk to train stations, without being right on top of them, and with the train stations come the activity centres of the suburbs. All the shopping needs are within a walk, and with Bayside, you've also got the beach and park reserves."

Campbell says Kew presents a different opportunity compared to the Bayside.

Stuart Kacir says you can't have all of the above in Kew, so you offer something different depending on where you're developing.

"With The Walton, residents will be closer to the centre of Kew, while the new project is more geared toward being a short walk to Studley Park, with the convenience of numerous bus stops on Studley Park Road. The centre of Kew and the shops are still only a kilometre away."

Studley Park will be the last domino to fall, with a launch expected later in 2024 after Carpe complete the display suite on High Street.

Carpe Group secure green light for two Melbourne apartment developments

Construction is coming to completion at Hampton's newest apartment development, Hampton Bay.

Developer&nbsp;6PM Project Management, who are also developing Orlando Residences in Hampton, are behind the Grenville Street project in&nbsp;Hampton's Golden Triangle.

The boutique collection of just nine residences will be situated between Hampton Street and the beach, with the&nbsp;Grenville Street address placing residents near to all Bayside has to offer.&nbsp;

Each residence has been individually crafted to embrace its surroundings and the bayside environment, reflecting the coastal beauty that Hamptons is renowned for, with&nbsp;Martin Friedrich designing Hampton Bay to offer maximum space, light, and amenity.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=25862 project_image_fid=58913]

The architectural vision of Martin Friedrich draws inspiration from the simplistic elements of nature, resulting in a timeless coastal structure that seamlessly blends into its location.

The spacious living areas are flooded with natural light thanks to the clever design that maximises sunlight throughout the day, with full glass window walls.

The development features a diverse range of residences, catering to various preferences and lifestyles. Among the offerings are three duplex penthouses boasting views of the bay, along with two north-facing, first floor townhouse-style residences and four ground-level villas.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=25862 project_image_fid=58916]

Each home adjoins to spacious outdoor entertaining spaces that have been designed to facilitate a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living.

Each residence comes with a two-car garage and storage space.

There's only a limited collection of residences remaining in Hampton Bay, with prices starting from&nbsp;$1,695,000.
