The expert development team behind Malvern's Plant Street apartment development
Malvern's latest apartment development, Plant Street, has some of the biggest names in the off the plan development industry behind it.
The boutique project of just 21 apartments near Malvern and Glenferrrie roads is being developed by forward-thinking, off the plan development specialists Milieu, who have a long reputation of creating design-driven projects across Melbourne since 2010.
They're developing the project in partnership with development partner Penfold and financier giant Maxcap, creating an enviable trio who have significant experience in crafting quality projects.
The years of development experience doesn't stop there. They've had the cool local architecture studio RITZ&GHOUGASSIAN champion the striking building's design.
A development characterised by a balance of solid architectural elements and greenery, Plant Street features bush-hammered concrete panels and smooth slab edges, creating depth and variety.
Interior design practice Georgina Jeffries has handled the interiors of the one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments, focus on nurturing, light-filled spaces with a material palette of honey timber joinery, brown ash brick, terrazzo, and natural stone.
Custom-made lighting by Volker Haug Studio complements the design, reflecting a refined approach that values local craftsmanship and lasting comfort.
Every space in the home features a natural stone and warm neutral palette, from the modern, sleek integrated galley kitchen with a large island-breakfast bar to the open-plan living and dining areas with wooden and textured furniture facing borderless floor-to-ceiling glazing that seamlessly connects the indoors with the outdoors.
The bedrooms are simple and well-proportioned, exuding a sense of calm and retreat with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the rich landscaping outside.
The bathrooms are minimalist and practical, featuring his and her vanity with long, wood-framed mirrors, floating cabinets, and silver tapware.
The building is enveloped in landscaping by the renowned landscape architecture firm Acre. An internal open-air atrium softens the structure and blending architecture, interiors, and the neighbourhood. The greenery includes a dynamic mix of deciduous plants and trees that change with the seasons.
Ground-floor apartments boast well-landscaped gardens, while upper-level dwellings feature planters and creepers on their terraces.
Progressive, sustainable design is also central to the development. Plant Street combines enduring materials with thoughtful architecture and adaptable interiors, incorporating cross-flow ventilation, solar power, carbon-neutral energy supplies, and EV charging stations. The property is designed to favour passive design principles, reducing dependence on artificial heating and cooling and collectively minimising each resident's environmental impact over the long term.
Milieu has appointed Manresa Construction as the builder for Plant Street by Milieu. The construction will be commencing soon and is expected to be complete in mid-2025.
For the past 14 years, Milieu has primarily focused its efforts in Melbourne's cooler northern suburbs, such as Brunswick East and Collingwood.
