With one in five Australians living in a multi-generational household, Melbourne developer Beulah has taken the concept of a future-proofed and multi-generational home to a new level with its newest project, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-townhouses/brunswick-established-17-23-hodgson-street-brunswick">Brunswick Established</a>.&nbsp;

Recognising the significance of a home purchase for many individuals and the years to come, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/beulah-international">Beulah</a> aims to offer homes that seamlessly adapt to evolving lifestyles and cater to diverse needs – this allows purchasers to customise their homes to suit the stage of life they are currently in while acknowledging where they are heading.&nbsp;

Research from the UNSW City Futures Research Centre revealed that multi-generational living is on the rise with one in five Australians living in a multigenerational household; the most common complaint raised in multi-generational households is noise and lack of privacy. A large cohort driving this trend is men (54 per cent of men) and women (47 per cent of women) aged 18 to 29 years old still living under the same roof as their parents.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8804 project_image_fid=221153]

Comprised of 23 two-storey townhouses, Brunswick Established offers multiple typologies of townhomes to suit different living requirements, allowing residents to grow in place - the majority include ground-floor bedrooms for accessibility while others provide a detached room separated by a courtyard.&nbsp;

On top of that, Beulah will enable purchasers of Brunswick Established to customise their homes to cater to different phases of life - from changing the flooring to accommodate a home gym, creating the perfect home studio or home office to creating a grandparent’s (or kids) retreat - no two homes will be the same.&nbsp;

Beulah's Executive Director, Adelene Teh, said that when they launched&nbsp;Tailored Living within <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/sth-bnk-by-beulah-southbank-60-southbank-boulevard-southbank">STH BNK By Beulah</a>, it received so much interest as purchasers were eager to create their own dream home by amalgamating floorplans.

"We took this approach and catered it to a suburb such as <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/brunswick-vic">Brunswick</a>, where off the plan townhouses are few and far between. Purchasers are generally limited to choosing their preferred colour scheme and finishes when buying off the plan; we wanted to give them more flexibility to create a home that would grow with them.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8804 project_image_fid=221169]

In addition to longevity, Teh said multi-generational living arrangements can also offer opportunities to bolster psychological, social and financial well-being.&nbsp;

“From shared expenses in terms of utilities and groceries, family support during the early stages of starting a family or&nbsp; companionship through the later stages of life - there are multiple benefits to multi-generational living arrangements in terms of health and well-being.&nbsp;

“Other financial advantages include extending the home’s lifespan to the next generation and saving on significant renovations, ultimately reducing construction waste.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8804 project_image_fid=221160]

Further future-proofing the project, Brunswick Established will also become the first heritage townhome community to implement circular living in Brunswick.&nbsp;

Sustainable initiatives include being gas and fossil-fuel-free, solar panels for renewable energy and rainwater harvesting,&nbsp; 
energy-efficient lighting systems and appliances, and EV Charging infrastructure. Residents will also have access to an edible garden and composting facilities to assist in the continual growth of produce.&nbsp;

By taking a circular ecosystem approach, residents of Brunswick Established will reap the benefits socially, economically and environmentally, including lower energy costs and utility bills and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.&nbsp;

Designed by leaders in social and sustainable architecture, Six Degrees Director Peter Malatt said it was important to design homes that are built to last.&nbsp;

“These homes have been designed for resident’s well-being, allowing couples and families to ‘grow’ in their own homes while ensuring they meet their needs for generations to come. Purchasers usually experience multiple lifestyle stages within one home and we’re looking forward to seeing these unique homes come to life,” he said.

STH BNK by Beulah: The most facilities in any Melbourne apartment development?

The sculptural masterpiece STH BNK By Beulah is set to become Australia’s first five-minute vertical city, providing residents with a plethora of everyday essentials and world-class offerings within walking distance.

The vertically integrated city within a city will offer over 100 shops spanning retail, everyday essentials, food and dining (inclusive of a fresh food market), a comprehensive wellness precinct, a childcare centre, extensive green spaces including rooftop gardens and eight pocket parks dotted throughout, an innovative cultural centre in partnership with Centre Pompidou, over 50,000 sqm of commercial office space, in addition to a diverse residential offering.

Beulah's five-minute vertical city is substantially lower than the 15-minute benchmark set by planning models across the world, which was first introduced by French-Colombian scientist Carlos Moreno in 2016.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8804 project_image_fid=194914]

In 2019, the Victorian Government launched a 20-minute neighbourhoods pilot program, following research that 20 minutes is the maximum time that people are willing to walk to meet their daily needs locally.

There is also evidence that active, walkable places produce a wealth of health, social, economic and environmental benefits.

At the helm of the globally collaborative project is Beulah Executive Director Adelene Teh, who says STH BNK offer residents a cosmopolitan lifestyle that prioritises not just health and wellness, but ultimate convenience in the heart of Melbourne.

“Evidence suggests that active, walkable places produce not only health and environmental benefits, but social and economic too. STH BNK By Beulah is redefining what can be made possible by exploring true vertical living."

"By providing a mini metropolis that truly has everything within walking distance, individuals can spend more time on what matters most, as opposed to travelling or commuting.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8804 project_image_fid=214049]

The State Government’s program outlines six key focus areas, with STH BNK By Beulah covering all six areas and more, to create a thriving mini-metropolis in the heart of Melbourne.

The first hallmark is being safe, accessible and well connected for pedestrians and cyclists to optimise active transport. STH BNK By Beulah achieves this via safe cycling networks, walkability and the STH BNK Auto Club: a fleet of 50 cars for residents to book via a car-share subscription. STH BNK By Beulah also provides services and destinations that support local living via childcare and play spaces, co-working spaces and art and culture offerings via a global partnership with Centre Pompidou.

Open spaces are addressed via local playgrounds, rooftop gardens, pocket parks and sport and recreational facilities, including exercise equipment and meditation zones, while urban farms, an outdoor cinema, cooking and dining facilities allow for improved wellbeing as a result of increased connection time.

Other hallmarks the project meets include delivering housing at density, including housing diversity across multiple sizes and price points, as well as facilitating access to quality public transport, with an abundance of trams, trains and buses within reach.

The thriving economy hallmark takes shape in the form of a world-class retail precinct, fresh food market, world-class entertainment and a global hotel.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8804 project_image_fid=214050]

According to the government’s pilot program, if 50 per cent of short private vehicle trips were instead made walking, it would save the Victorian economy approximately $165 million a year in congestion, health, infrastructure and environmental costs. This projection indicates the benefits yet to come with STH BNK’s further reduced travel time.

In addition, by participating in 15-minutes of walking a day, five days a week, the disease burden from physical inactivity would reduce by about 13 per cent, while walkable streets and community spaces can provide critical opportunities for social interaction and social cohesion.

UNStudio Founder Ben van Berkel said it was important to create a building that does much more than just incorporate planting and green areas, to instead be highly biophilic.

“Mixed-use projects are extremely complex. They need to consolidate many different functions for a wide variety of user groups. With STH BNK By Beulah, this also involves a vast public component, so we had to programme the project in the right way to be able to have something for everybody on the site; to create a village in the city for a healthy and inclusive community,” he said.

STH BNK By Beulah to become Australia’s first ‘five-minute vertical city’

<html><body>
The highly anticipated $2 billion dual tower skyscraper, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/southbank-by-beulah-118-city-road-southbank">Southbank by Beulah</a>, has been awarded the seal of approval from Planning Minister Hon. Richard Wynne to commence construction next year.

It's a pivotal moment for the property industry and skyscraper enthusiasts across the country, who have waited almost a year to hear the verdict as to whether the landmark development would be gracing the Melbourne skyline anytime soon. In a time of social and economic disruption due to the current pandemic, the positive news couldn't have come at a more apt time.  

<figure><a class="colorbox colorbox-insert-image" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2020-04-24_at_1.12.43_pm.png" rel="gallery-all" title="Image supplied."><img alt="" class="image-article-full-width-580px" height="373" src="/s3/files/styles/article_full_width_580px/public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2020-04-24_at_1.12.43_pm.png?itok=rGezhk6L" title="Image supplied." width="580"></a>

<figcaption>Image supplied.</figcaption></figure><a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/beulah-international">Beulah International</a> Managing Director, Jiaheng Chan, acknowledged the financial strain the country is currently experiencing and hopes to reinvigorate the market once the new <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/southbank-vic">Southbank</a> project is delivered. 

<blockquote>
"We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to both the Victorian Government and the City of Melbourne for their endorsement of Southbank by Beulah, which we hope will play a significant role in Melbourne's economic recovery over the coming years."
</blockquote>

Southbank by Beulah is likely to take five years to complete construction and will offer jobs to approximately 4,700 construction workers, via the provision of a $1 billion additional investment stimulus to the Melbourne construction industry. Once complete, the development also has scope to provide the Victorian workforce with around 3,250 jobs in the commercial, retail, entertainment, hospitality and child care sectors. These new job opportunities will, in turn, grow the Southbank working population by around 8%.

<blockquote>
"Southbank by Beulah will transform the way Melburnians work, live, learn, revitalise and play — it will set a global benchmark for an unprecedented lifestyle hub that caters to present and future generations and will assist in the future growth of Melbourne and its vision to become a truly global smart city."
</blockquote>

Jiaheng Chan, Beulah International Managing Director 

With plans to reach a staggering 365 metres tall, Southbank by Beulah is likely to claim the title of Australia's tallest building, overtaking Australia 108 which is due to top out early this year.

The collaborative design by Dutch firm <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/un-studio">UNStudio</a> and local firm <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/cox-architecture-0">Cox Architecture</a> will see the transformation of the existing BMW site, into a future-focused vertical village, spanning a total of 270,000 square metres of sought-after real estate. 

Each of the two towers feature a unique helix shape, which ensures each floor utilises the exceptional city views on offer. Colloquially referenced as the 'Green Spine', Southbank by Beulah dons striking vertical greenery, as well as a vibrant rooftop garden, encased in a canopy of alternating vertical and horizontal beams, which will protect the plants from the elements. The decision to include vertical greenery is not only visually striking and an environmentally conscious choice, but it also pays homage to Melbourne's title of The Garden City.

Multiplex Tops Out QIC’S Collins Street Tower

<html><body>
Award winning Melbourne developer <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/beulah-international">Beulah International</a> has officially submitted the planning application for Southbank by Beulah to the Victorian Government last Friday. 
With the proposed City Road and Southbank Boulevard location, the application details plans to transform the current BMW Showroom site into a world class, multi-use development that sets a new benchmark in liveable city design.

The ‘vertical village’ concept will introduce Melbourne to a welcoming and functional mixed use precinct underpinned by creativity and cultural innovation that will support The City of Melbourne’s ‘Future Melbourne 2026’ plan. 
The stunning structure composed of two twisting terraced forms with a design led by acclaimed Dutch firm <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/unstudio">UNStudio</a> and local firm <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/cox-architecture">Cox Architecture</a>, is a refinement of the winning ‘Green Spine’ concept from the 2018 Southbank by Beulah global architecture competition. Selected by the competition jury, chaired by Victorian government architect Jill Garner, the 10 months of dedication to refining and enhancing the original design showcase Beulah’s passion towards the project.

The updated <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/southbank-by-beulah-the-winning-design-for-australias-tallest-tower-revealed">Southbank by Beulah</a> has a strong emphasis on placemaking, with the 270,000sqm mixed use lifestyle precinct to host:

<ul>
<li>Four distinct collections of private residences</li>
	<li>35,000sqm of commercial offices</li>
	<li>A 220-key five star urban resort</li>
	<li>6,600sqm of conference and entertainment centre</li>
	<li>A children’s play centre</li>
	<li>A health and wellness precinct</li>
	<li>30,000sqm of world class experiential retail including the BMW Experience Centre</li>
	<li>7,250sqm of public green spaces including the Future Sky Garden</li>
	<li>13,500sqm of arts and culture programs</li>
</ul>
 
The projects world class consultant, Beulah International Managing Director Jiaheng Chan said the project team are thrilled with the finished concept and are excited to collaborate with all stakeholders on the next phases of Southbank by Beulah.

“We have worked closely with both the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning​ ​and the City of Melbourne and are inspired by their vision for Southbank. We believe this project will significantly support the wider transformation of the area by creating a green, active, connected urban environment that invites and encourages an enjoyable experience for both residents and visitors.

“We look forward to working alongside all parties to play a part in unlocking the area’s true potential and solving the urban pedestrian realm by creating a green and culturally vibrant Southbank.” 

Southbank by Beulah begins its journey with a proposed 4,000sqm fresh food marketplace at street level. Through a series of stairs and stepped terraces, the unfolding pathway leads to the first of seven podiums to which offer an exciting experiential retail space where collaborations and experiences will offer a changing and seasonal expression of the intersection between art, technology, culture, fashion and design.

On the first level, a progressive and versatile conference and entertainment venue will amplify and expand to the cultural offering of the already dynamic Southbank Arts Precinct.

“We see this project as an extension of the famous Arts Precinct and we are already in discussions with prospective prominent local and international art collaborators to create an experience to complement the current arts offering,” said Jiaheng.

An elevated civic square is at the heart of the project with a childcare, cultural podium and wellness precinct connected together within a public realm to give Melbournians and visitors a space of creative play, reflection and recreation. A network of external and internal artwork commissions will deliver new engaged and activated spaces for residents, visitors and workers, enhancing the quality of Southbank.

Southbank by Beulah is dedicated to the city’s wellness with the square home to a central garden; a true urban oasis set to become Australia’s first sequence of green terraces trailing to the top of the building. It is at this point that the two twisting forms emerge with the shorter of the towers to encompass a new type of workplace, with flexible commercial offices comprising of both indoor and outdoor green terraces. 
The new generation five star urban resort with generous gardens will give guests the luxury of experience and integrate people with nature within the city environment. The tower then culminates with a world-class rooftop culinary experiences, with sweeping views above the Yarra River of the <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/melbourne-vic">Melbourne</a> skyline. 
 

Australia’s love of the backyard lifestyle is not lost with double height pocket parks throughout the towers and a myriad of connected communal spaces to inspire social integration and environmental consciousness. The main tower is crowned by a publicly accessible ‘Future Sky Garden’ showcasing innovative landscape technologies and offering spaces of opportunities for creativity. 
With Beulah’s focus and dedication to the community, the submission outlines the use of greenery and plants which will be uniquely prominent on the Melbourne skyline, as a way to enhance the quality of life of its residents, using vegetation to mitigate winds, filter noise, dust and carbon dioxide.

As Melbourne continues to grow at an unprecedented rate, Beulah embarked on an extensive global study tour in late 2018 and early 2019 to explore some of the world’s most inspiring architecture and design to further understand how leading global cities have approached the regeneration of urban areas.

“Our project is a vote of confidence in Melbourne's economy, and it will transform Southbank. It's our vision to improve the urban environment on City Road and create an internationally significant landmark that will be a vibrant mini metropolis for people to live, work, shop, learn, play and stay,” said Jiaheng.
