Hurstmon: Where contemporary meets sustainability in Malvern East
Alison Warters August 28, 2023PROJECT SPOTLIGHT

Nestled within the serene, tree-lined avenues of Malvern East, Landream's latest apartment development, Hurstmon, stands as a testament to the harmonious blend of design, architecture, landscaping, and modern lifestyle.

Construction completed on the collection of just 39 Telha Clarke-designed residences at the start of this year. Only three-bedroom apartments remain, priced between $1,465,000 and $2,055,000.

Telha Clarke used rammed earth columns at on the front and west facades of the building. The eco-friendly finish, seldom seen in Victoria's residential landscape, positions Hurstmon as a trailblazer in sustainable design. 

 

The journey to Hurstmon begins with a stroll along an inviting avenue flanked by trees and lush gardens, designed by Eckersley Garden Architecture. The landscaping in the frontage mirrors the surrounding natural beauty, immediately establishing a connection between the edifice and its environment.

Internally, spacious proportions are matched with attention to lighting and airflow, while walnut timber joinery, pale timber floorboards, and pristine white walls set a neutral canvas for residents to personalise according to their tastes. 

 

Sustainability takes centre stage in Hurstmon's design ethos. From the insulation that cocoons the entire building to the concealed air conditioning, each element has been crafted to optimise energy efficiency.

Variable speed fans, a natural gas-fired central hot water system, and energy-efficient LED internal lighting further underscore the project's commitment to a greener future. The integration of movement sensors in common areas and the utilisation of solar panels to power these spaces exemplify Hurstmon's dedication to sustainable living.

Beyond the boundaries of Hurstmon, the allure of Malvern East awaits. The vibrant neighbourhood presents a tapestry of amenities, from charming cafes to expansive parks, all within arm's reach. Nature enthusiasts will relish in the abundance of well-maintained parks, historic gardens, and the canopy of established trees.
