The latest development transforming Melbourne&rsquo;s south-eastern suburb of Malvern East is Landream&rsquo;s Hurstmon.

Boasting 39 residences in two and three-bedroom configurations, Hurstmon forms an eye-catching landmark while complementing the rich history of the suburb.

Designed by Telha Clarke, the project has a &ldquo;hidden-gem quality&rdquo; that extends into each residence and its layered textures, according to architect Tim Clarke.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4807 project_image_fid=84185]

One of the highlights of the project is the beautiful gardens and landscaping curated by Eckersley Garden Architecture (E-GA).

Urban recently sat down with E-GA&rsquo;s Scott Leung and Eleanor Cook to discuss the luxury development.

MK: How many multi-residential projects have Eckersley Garden Architecture been contracted on within Victoria?

SL+EC: E-GA are currently contracted to 28 mutli-resi developments around the inner suburbs of Melbourne, including South Yarra, Malvern, Malvern East, Hawthorn, Kew and Toorak.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4807 project_image_fid=84190]

MK: What spoke to you about Hurstmon in particular?

SL+EC: Locality in a very leafy suburb of Malvern and the proximity to the parklands

MK: What was the design brief for the project&#39;s landscaping?

SL+EC: Malvern is very well known for its green gardens, so the brief was one of symbiosis with the architecture and the neighbourhood. Keep it purely gardenesque, understated and relaxing.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4807 project_image_fid=84184]

MK: Where did you take your inspiration from?

SL+EC: Inspiration definitely comes from nature, so we do our best to represent nature in the gardens we design translated to an urban context for this project.

MK: How did you synthesise the development with the existing landscaping and greenery in the surrounding streets of Malvern East?

SL+EC: The key to making a project feel as though it was always part of the street fabric is to take note of the neighbourhood plant species. This way you can see what works as well as introduce some of these plants or similar species into the new landscape and stitching the street together.

Nothing better than borrowed landscape to enhance a garden.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4807 project_image_fid=84191]

MK: What was the biggest challenge during the design process?

SL+EC: As always there is a variety challenges with multi-residential projects however the one that stands out is the working of plant species across many levels and aspects.

At least it enables greater plant selection and diversity which is a big plus.

MK: How important is the choice of plants in a project such as this?

SL+EC: Plant selection is a majority priority for the success of the garden. Aspect will determine choice to ensure the plants longevity and tolerances. Nothing more fulfilling than seeing a garden thrive in all conditions

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4807 project_image_fid=84192]

MK: What have you tried to do in the design that the average homebuyer may not notice straight away?

SL+EC:&nbsp;Planting combinations in a garden may seems natural but it takes a lot of knowledge on how a plant develops over time as well as how the layers form.

If this is done correctly a new owner can enjoy the experience the growth of the garden, even take ownership, much like a new developing child throughout the seasons.

The boutique development Foam Street in the Bayside Melbourne suburb of Elwood has secured sales of nearly half of its apartments at its recent launch.

Developer Goldfields has seen demand coming from an emerging market which have been dubbed "Baychangers."

Goldfields chief operating officer Lachlan Thompson said five of the project’s twelve boutique apartments had already been snapped by buyers up on the first few days of the sales campaign.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31641]

“The Elwood brand is one of the strongest in Melbourne, especially for buyers looking to downsize to a smaller and more convenient home in a vibrant community that offers exciting lifestyle and entertainment options,” Thompson said.

“As a result, the supply of low-maintenance luxury apartments in Elwood’s established property market is far outweighed by demand, with many looking to alternatives, such as boutique new developments, like Foam Street, Elwood.

“These buyers are looking shorten and simplify the homebuying process and avoid the frustration associated with the existing property market.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/foam-street-1-3-foam-street-elwood"><img alt="" height="891" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/foam_street_elwood.jpg" width="1200"></a>

“They want to live ‘life after the family home’ somewhere with a little more ‘soul,’ somewhere more intimate and personal; the type of place where you know your neighbours by their first name.”

Jackson Clements Burrows designed the development of two and three bedroom apartments in conjunction with Studio Tate.

“FOAM STREET apartments are designed to be entirely of their place – reflecting and complementing the street’s vernacular – thus creating a discerning identity within their environment. Each dwelling offers expansive living areas, private outdoor spaces and enduring finishes," Tim Jackson, director at Jackson Clements Burrows said.

The project sits in landscaped surrounds designed by Eckersley Garden Architecture.

The Agency's Michael Paproth said, as well as demand from locals who want to remain in the area, there is a rapidly emerging market of buyers from outside the broader Bayside area.

“Baychangers tend to be semi-retired or retired professionals, typically from the inner-eastern suburbs, whose children have started their own families, and who are looking for a lifestyle change, but without the distance associated with a treechange or seachange," Paproth said.

“Despite being right next door to each other, the Bayside and inner east can be quite different in terms of community, culture and lifestyle."

Hurstmon is Landream’s latest offering in Melbourne's south-east, delivering a sense of privacy, seclusion and retreat.

The home’s strong architectural language delivers something unique to Malvern East while still blending into the locale to create a harmonious living space.

“We chose Hurstmon because it appeared like a high-quality project in a great suburb that suited our requirements”, said buyers Michelle and Pete, who purchased an off-the-plan apartment in the development.

To help see if this Malvern East residence is right for you, Urban reveals the top five things to love about Hurstmon. 
 

1. Its prime location in Malvern East

Hurstmon delivers the lifestyle needs of its residents with Malvern East’s abundance of amenities. Established parks, transport options, bicycle paths and creative cafes are on your doorstep.

Although the Melbourne CBD is just 15-kilometres from the city, the development connects residents to some of Melbourne’s most beautiful parks and historic gardens. 
 

2. Spacious one, two and three-bedroom apartments

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/hurstmon-3-hurstmon-street-malvern-east" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="1201" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/hurstmon-3-hurstmon-street-malvern-east-68311a81c412540e4d376af6a6237d63.jpg" width="1920"></a>

Designed by Telha Clarke, each two or three-bedroom residence represents the best of lifestyle, contemporary architecture, earthy tones, premium materials and respect for the area’s deep history, with its expansive proportions working to promote light and air flow.

“The generous proportions of these homes have allowed for us to really let the volume speak for themselves”, said Telha Clarke associate Harriet Fell. 
 

3. The architectural façade

Hurstmon has a “hidden-gem quality”, according to architect Tim Clarke. Popping out like an oasis, the project offers a level of class that has never been seen before in Malvern East, with floor-to-ceiling windows and contemporary design.

“We love the unique façade of Hurstmon and the floor-to-ceiling glass doors and windows throughout the property and our apartment”, said buyers Michelle and Pete. 
 

4. Contemporary-styled interiors

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/hurstmon-3-hurstmon-street-malvern-east" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="1371" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/hurstmon-3-hurstmon-street-malvern-east-ad6b8aa3d1c09a1fafefeaf5da8bf84b_0.jpg" width="1920"></a>

The Telha Clarke-designed interiors offer two colour schemes, in grey or green. Walnut timber joinery, pale timber floorboards and stone kitchen benchtops are among the home’s premium finishes.

Each residence includes a double-glazing, ducted heating and a butler’s pantry, with floorplans responsive to changes and requests by homebuyers. 
 

5. Landscaping by Eckersley Garden Architecture

Positioned on a tree-lined street, Eckersley Garden Architecture uses the gardens to highlight Hurstmon’s vertical form, while utilising green spaces to mirror the streetscape and blend into the fabric of Malvern East.

Ground-floor residences enjoy manicured courtyards and extended outdoor space.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4807]

Two-bedroom apartments in the project start from $795,000 while three-bedroom apartments begin at $1,599,500.

The project is estimated for completion in early 2022. Request floorplans and information from an agent today.
