Boutique property developer Gestalt Property has appointed award-winning builder with Brompton Construction to bring to life its mixed-used development Clyde Street.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/builders/brompton-construction">Brompton</a>&nbsp;won two Master Builders Associations Awards last year. Their work on&nbsp;14 Gleniffer Avenue, Brighton East, won the award&nbsp;for the Best Multi-Unit development between four to 12 units, while their build of 30 Rooding Street in Brighton won the same award in the 12 units plus category.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/project-marketer/jellis-craig-projects">Jellis Craig Projects</a> Director Stephen Bowtell says the townhomes offer everything a buyer could want, with a flexible floor plan for both families and downsizers to use as they wish.

MA Architects Associate Rachel McNally elaborated on the townhouses' design, mentioning two distinct types with differing living spaces.&nbsp;

"One has a living space on the ground floor with a connection to the street that’s a little bit more closed off and a focus on opening up into their courtyard. And then the other townhouse has living spaces on the first floor with a great aspect over the mature trees along Clyde Street," McNally says.

Gestalt appoint Brompton to build Clyde Street development

Boutique property developer Gestalt brings Clyde Street, a modern addition to a quintessential East Kew location.

Clyde Street introduces a collection of 11 large-scale, three-level townhouses, and three one and two-bedroom apartments positioned above commercial space on the corner of Clyde Street and High Street.

MA Architects have meticulously designed each residence, providing them with individual entrances, a brickwork façade, robust materials, and abundant green landscaping.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139984 project_image_fid=212839]

The landscape architecture has been integral to the design of the project, Gestalt says, which is why MAA collaborated closely with Simon Taylor Landscape Design.

“For the gardens of each townhouse, we only had to look around for inspiration," Taylor said.

"The parks and gardens of East Kew are lush, beautiful and well-maintained, qualities we intend to continue at Clyde St."

The building is robust with strong clean lines, with the gardens softening these forms against the street. All the townhouses have two private open spaces: one on the ground and one at a higher level, one on the east and one on the west. A series of spaces that follow the sun from dawn to dusk.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139984 project_image_fid=212847]

Each townhouse comprises three bedrooms, two bathrooms, two living spaces—one adaptable as an additional bedroom, office, or play area—two car parks and a storage room.

There are two types of townhouse on offer, with the living space differing in each home, MA Architects Associate Rachel McNally says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139984 project_image_fid=212850]

"One has a living space on the ground floor with a connection to the street that’s a little bit more closed off and a focus on opening up into their courtyard. And then the other townhouse has living spaces on the first floor with a great aspect over the mature trees along Clyde Street," McNally says.

&nbsp;

The kitchens are open and practical, featuring concealed storage, integrated Smeg and VZUG appliances, brushed nickel designer tapware, and natural stone benchtops with a mosaic stone splashback.

Bedrooms come with expansive wardrobes, large windows, and soft carpeting underfoot.&nbsp;

Bathrooms have been thoughtfully planned to maximise space and storage, offering a back-to-wall bath with a frameless shower screen, under-mount sink, natural stone benchtops, and concealed cistern toilets.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139984 project_image_fid=212841]

All apartments are finished with oak timber floors, mosaic marble and porcelain tiles, linear fluted glass, and timber laminates.&nbsp;

The property also includes secure car and bike parking, solar-boosted gas hot water, inverter-type heating, ventilation, cooling systems and water harvesting.

&nbsp;

Jellis Craig Projects director Stephen Bowtell says the townhomes offer everything a buyer could want, with a flexible floor plan for both families and downsizers to use as they wish.

Clyde Street is conveniently located within walking distance to a tram stop on the corner of High Street, providing easy access to Kew Junction, Richmond, the CBD, and the green expanses of Hays Paddock in the other direction.

The development is slated for completion in January 2025.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-townhouses/clyde-street-733-high-street-kew">Clyde Street</a> presents three apartments and 11 house-sized townhouses with various floor plans designed to cater to the different life stages of its future residents.

Each townhouse comprises three bedrooms, two bathrooms, two living spaces, a car garage, and a storage room – as well as all the shopping, dining, education and transport advantages of this coveted location at its door.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-townhouses/clyde-street-733-high-street-kew">Clyde Street</a> is conveniently located within walking distance of a tram stop at the corner of High Street, providing easy access to <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/kew-vic">Kew</a> Junction, Richmond, and the CBD, just fifteen minutes away.

Whether walking, driving or commuting by tram, Clyde Street is ideally placed to access the best of East Kew, its neighbouring suburbs and connections to the inner city.

Residents will also have easy connectivity by car with the Eastern Freeway close by and by bike along the Main Yarra Trail.

Heritage architecture and neighbourhood cafés, bars and restaurants dot the landscape. The closest options include Gilbert's, Kuche and The Bean Thief Cafe.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139984 project_image_fid=212840]

Harp Village is only a four-minute walk for shopping and groceries, while the nearest Coles in Balwyn North is only a three-minute drive from Clyde Street.&nbsp;

Within a one-kilometre radius of the property, residents can find outdoor spaces for picnics, hiking, and sports. Stradbroke Park, including a playground and off-leash area, is a 15-minute walk east of Clyde Street, while the Anniversary Trail and Victoria Park are just 10 minutes from the site.

Further north across the Eastern Freeway is the Yarra River, the <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/kew-vic">Kew</a> East Tennis Club, Hays Paddock and <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/kew-vic">Kew</a> Golf Club.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139984 project_image_fid=212849]

Given Kew's reputation for hosting some of the country's top schools, this project will likely attract family buyers. St Anne's School, Kew East Primary School and Kew High School are less than 500 metres from Clyde Street.

Jellis Craig Projects Director Stephen Bowtell says the townhomes offer everything a buyer could want, with a flexible floor plan for both families and downsizers to use as they wish.

"It ticks all the boxes. The convenience of dual living, a study, and multiple living areas. Clyde Street offers it all."

The development is scheduled for completion in January 2025.

Clyde Street presents three apartments and 11 house-sized townhouses with various floor plans designed to cater to the different life stages of its future residents

How Clyde St townhouses fit into Kew's high street lifestyle

Regarded boutique Melbourne residential developer Gestalt is producing one of the most visually striking projects in Kew East.

Gestalt Director Kyle Reeve called on MA Architects to put together the plans for Clyde Street, a mix of high-end townhouses and apartments, having worked with MAA on previous projects.

MAA Principal Karen Alcock and associate Rachel McNally led the design direction of Clyde Street.

"We decided to work with MAA on this project because we've worked with Karen and Rachel before, and the results we've achieved have been outstanding," Reeve said.

"They really understand spaces. They understand great design. They understand beautiful, enduring materials."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139984 project_image_fid=212839]

Reeve said from the outset the team set out to create townhouses with house-like proportions, a commitment to spaciousness that sets Clyde St apart.

"When we first discussed the site with MAA, part of the brief was to design townhouses that were house-like proportions," Reeve said.

"We wanted to have two separate living areas, at least three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a separate laundry, and enough private open space via a courtyard or a balcony."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139984 project_image_fid=212831]

MAA crafted each townhouse to harmonise with the tree-lined streetscape, ensuring they seamlessly blend into their surroundings. Their designs boast individual entrances, brickwork facades, sturdy materials, and abundant landscaping. It's a testament to their unwavering dedication to creating living spaces that truly feel like home.

Jellis Craig Projects Director Stephen Bowtell says the architecture has really grabbed the market.

"MAA have been clever in creating a striking brick facade which pays respect to the beautiful heritage homes in Kew East, while adding a contemporary touch" Bowtell says.

"Clyde Street sits in a suburb where there's brick homes which have stood for 100 years, and Clyde Street will do the same. It will age in place."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139984 project_image_fid=212833]

Bowtell says the townhomes offer everything a buyer could want, with a really flexible floor plan for both families and downsizers to use as they wish.

"It ticks all the boxes. The convenience of dual living, a study, multiple living areas. Clyde Street offers it all."

The project will likely attract the family buyer, given Kew is home to some of the country's best schools.

Whether it's the relaxing ambiance of the "Relax" scene, the invigorating start to the day with the "Good Morning" scene, or the perfect atmosphere for dining with the "Dining" scene, each scene automatically adjusts various features throughout the apartment.

For instance, the "Good Night" scene turns off bedroom, kitchen, living, dining, and stair lights, while the "TV" scene dims the living room lights to 20 per cent and switches off lights in other areas.

Luxury living meets cutting-edge technology at The BelleVue townhouses in South Melbourne

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

Two of the homes will be brand new, while the other will be a restoration of an existing Spanish&nbsp;hacienda-style home.

Construction is set to begin soon on MATTONE, a townhouse development in Richmond by developer CADRE that promises to redefine sustainable living.

CADRE are committing to a fossil fuel-free lifestyle at MATTONE, with each townhouse set to be completely free of gas, ensuring a clean and sustainable living environment.

The exclusive collection of just 10 townhouses at MATTONE have been designed by renowned architects MAArchitects, known for their innovative and aesthetically-pleasing designs.

Energy efficiency is a top priority, with an impressive 7.9-star energy rating. The homes are nearly 100 per cent more energy-efficient than conventional constructions. Such energy performance translates into tangible savings, with residents projected to enjoy up to a 45 per cent reduction in their energy bills, benefitting not only the homeowners' but also the environment.&nbsp;

CADRE's commitment to sustainability extends beyond the individual homes. By implementing thermally broken windows and reducing heat transfer, MATTONE will reduce household CO2 emissions by up to 30 tonnes annually. This is equivalent to planting 1,500 trees each year, making a significant positive impact on the environment.

Furthermore, the reduced energy costs for heating and cooling in these homes are 500 per cent less than in an equivalent Victorian Terrace.

MATTONE embraces the power of solar energy, equipping each townhouse with individual solar panels. The panels not only reduce reliance on traditional energy sources but also enable residents to take advantage of renewable energy. The development also includes provisions for electric vehicle charging, aligning with the growing trend toward sustainable transportation.

To further reassure homeowners, CADRE is also offering a generous 10-year building warranty.

Aside from their eco-friendly features, MATTONE features up to three-metre high ceilings and Miele electric appliances in the stone kitchen.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106663 project_image_fid=210174]

The open plan floorplans boast natural light in abundance, thanks to full-height external windows and doors, with the thermally broken, double glazed windows reducing heat transfer during both summer and winter.

The development is situated in the heart of Richmond, offering easy access to public transport links and a short stroll to Melbourne's finest cafes, restaurants, and bars. Residents will enjoy the vibrant city lifestyle while also relishing the tranquility of their private outdoor areas, ideal for entertaining or simply unwinding.
