Boutique property developer Gestalt has launched Clyde Street, a striking collection of townhouses and apartments in the heart of Kew.

The project, on the corner of Clyde and High Street, has been designed by MA Architects to cater for those seeking a house-sized dwelling.

MA Architects Principal Karen Alcock says space is really important when it comes to designing a townhouse.

"We make sure that our townhouses have a real focus on spatial quality, because you can always change finishes.

"In time, people will change a kitchen or a bathroom. But the space will remain the same, and that’s what is the most important thing to get right.”

Each of the townhouses have three bedrooms, two bathrooms, two living areas, and garaging for two cars.

They sit in gardens designed by landscape architect Simon Taylor. Taylor of said he only had to look around the suburb for inspiration for the townhouse gardens.

"The parks and gardens of East Kew are lush, beautiful and well-maintained, qualities we intend to continue at Clyde St," Taylor said.

 

There are just three apartments in the unusually-designed building, two one-bedroom apartments and a two-bedroom penthouse apartment.

Gestalt, founded by former ICON Developments Senior Development Manager Kyle Reeve, have offices in Cremorne and Mornington, the latter where they are developing three mid-century home, designed to sit around 100-year-old oak trees. Two of the homes will be brand new, while the other will be a restoration of an existing Spanish hacienda-style home.

Gestalt are also currently selling seven land lots in Smeaton East, a new neighbourhood near Daylesford.
