Smith by Valli, Collingwood

There’s always been a certain confidence to this part of town — creative, connected, and deeply local. Smith by Valli continues that story with a limited collection of north-facing residences that feel as considered as the street they sit on.

Interiors with a point of view

Lisa Buxton's interiors balance warmth with material depth across every residence. Terrazzo surfaces recall classic Italian style, travertine brings softness to the bathrooms, and timber finishes add an organic layer to cabinetry and joinery throughout. Gaggenau appliances come standard to all apartments, kitchens are generous even at one-bedroom scale, and luxurious wool carpets feature underfoot in every bedroom: the result is spaces that feel polished, sophisticated and entirely their own.

A rooftop garden above Smith Street

Designed by Etched, the private communal rooftop garden is a gathering place unlike any other in Collingwood. Open spaces accommodate larger occasions, cosy corners invite intimate conversation, and veggie boxes bring home-grown ingredients within easy reach. Seasonal planting — flowering species, shaded summer areas and sheltered winter nooks — means the garden shifts and evolves throughout the year.

Built with the future in mind

A rooftop solar array, rainwater harvesting for irrigation and toilet flushing, two secure bicycle spaces per residence and high-quality impervious materials throughout reflect a genuine commitment to sustainable inner-city living.

Fitzroy at your doorstep

Smith by Valli sits at the heart of Smith Street, a Walker's Paradise with a 99 out of 100 WalkScore. Falco Bakery is a three-minute walk. Blackhearts and Sparrows is five. HAY Melbourne, CIBI, Proud Mary Coffee and Bar Liberty are all within easy reach, alongside Brunswick Street, Gertrude Street and the CBD just beyond.

A collaboration inspired by design

Valli is a privately owned developer focused on design-led projects for owner-occupiers, commissioning architecture, interiors and landscapes from Melbourne's leading practices. At Smith by Valli, that means Pandolfini Architects for the building's form and materiality, Lisa Buxton Interiors for the residences within, and Etched for the rooftop garden above.
