Lucent Group has launched a new sustainable townhouse collection in Melbourne's inner-city suburb Northcote.

Lucent Group, led by Founder and Managing Director&nbsp;Panos Miltiadou, secured the 6,131 sqm site at 84-96 Bastings Street, located in the family-friendly Westgarth neighbourhood near Johnson Park, in 2021.

Since then they've been putting together plans for Bastings, just&nbsp;47 townhouses designed by Melbourne architecture firm Kavellaris Urban Design (KUD).

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134979 project_image_fid=231078]

The townhouses offer a mix of configurations, with two, three and four-bedrooms on offer across either two or three-levels.&nbsp;

Prices for the townhouses range&nbsp;from $1.38 million to $2.4 million.

Arranged in four rows on either side of a pedestrian boulevard off Bastings Street, one of the area's historic residential streets, all 47 townhomes are north-south aligned, with north-facing secluded private courtyards. Those along the fourth row also enjoy sweeping views of the city.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134979 project_image_fid=231064]

Bastings Community is committed to achieving Operational Carbon Neutrality for at least a decade.&nbsp;Carbon neutrality means&nbsp;having a balance between emitting carbon and absorbing carbon from the atmosphere in carbon sinks.

KUD have ensured that Bastings is centred on creating a sustainable home and lifestyle for its future residents.

Sustainably sourced, environmentally responsible materials predominate throughout the two distinct interior schemes.

Each townhouse is equipped with a private lockable basement garage that offers up to 30 sqm of multipurpose space, along with provisions for hydronic heating and individual electric vehicle chargers.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134979 project_image_fid=231075]

Maximised natural light access and cross-flow ventilation, as well as a minimum of six rooftop solar panels, are some of Bastings' key sustainable features.&nbsp;

Every other aspect of this sustainable design encourages connection, embraces individuality, and contributes in a meaningful way to its setting.

The development has a large centralised communal open space piazza to build a community amongst the residents.

Lucent's portfolio consists of mostly sold-out apartments across Melbourne. They've previously had success in Northcote's neighbouring Brunswick East, where they are currently construction the sold-out, 69-residence Stewart Collective.

Some of Lucent's other developments include boutique townhouse collections No. 121 Chomley Street in Prahran and the under-construction Slate House in Brighton.

Design-driven developer <a href="/developers/neometro">Neometro</a> has revealed its latest project.

Their luxury <a href="/developments/south-yarra-vic-3141">South Yarra apartment development</a>, <a href="/new-apartments/49-walsh-street-south-yarra-49-walsh-street-south-yarra">49 Walsh Street</a>, has just 10 two, three and four-bedroom apartments within the heart of Melbourne’s iconic Domain Precinct bordering the Royal Botanic Gardens, the Tan, the Yarra River and the CBD.

This historically significant part of the city boasts some of Melbourne's most iconic architecture. MORQ, the design firm behind <a href="/new-apartments/49-walsh-street-south-yarra-49-walsh-street-south-yarra">49 Walsh Street</a>, aimed to harmonise the development with its historic surroundings with a design that is grounded in timeless architectural principles.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141589 project_image_fid=229317]

“We strive to design buildings that stand outside of time, untethered to any singular era, style or place," MORQ Director Andrea Quagliola said.

"Buildings that get this right can’t be reduced to a movement, fashion or label. There’s a sense of restrained monumentality in their simplicity that feels eternal."

The development, marking Neometro’s most high-end work to date, draws inspiration from natural light, geometry, and materiality.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141589 project_image_fid=229320]

The ground-floor apartments provide a sense of seclusion and a strong connection to nature, featuring private courtyards with abundant greenery, two bedrooms and private entrances.

On levels one and two, enveloped by a canopy of trees and bathed in dappled light, the apartments include spacious main bedrooms, butler's kitchens and dedicated entry halls.

All apartments have generous living areas, well-appointed kitchens, laundry areas, and outdoor cooking and dining spaces.

MORQ's work is distinguished by a deep connection to Rome's historical heritage and an appreciation for its enduring European architectural design adapted to a modern Australian context.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141589 project_image_fid=229323]

Residents at <a href="/new-apartments/49-walsh-street-south-yarra-49-walsh-street-south-yarra">49 Walsh Street</a> will enjoy a well-rounded and convenient lifestyle, surrounded by natural beauty like the Royal Botanic Gardens, Yarra River, Fawkner Park, and Albert Park Lake. Urban amenities, such as the restaurants and cafes that line Toorak Rd, <a href="/developments/south-yarra-vic-3141">South Yarra</a> Station, and The Como Centre Shopping Mall, are within a 20-minute walk from the property.

This project marks MORQ's first multi-residential project in Melbourne. The majority of their portfolio comprises luxury houses in Italy, earning them numerous awards and international recognition.&nbsp;

Their Floeat, Perth house, Cloister House, received the Marshall Clifton Award for Residential Architecture at the WA Institute of Architecture Awards in 2019. Additionally, a house they designed in Noosa secured the Building of the Year award at the 2015 Sunshine Coast Regional Architecture Awards by the Australian Institute of Architects.

<a href="/developers/neometro">Neometro</a> have been at the forefront of forward-thinking development since 1985 when they were founded by Jeff Provan and Barry Ludlow, who from the outset had a focus on providing striking new apartment developments across Melbourne.

Apartments at <a href="/new-apartments/49-walsh-street-south-yarra-49-walsh-street-south-yarra">49 Walsh Street</a> start at $3.975 million, with an estimated completion date set for July 2025.

Here, among the calm of a peaceful leafy boulevard, you can relax and recharge, with everything you love about Hampton close by," the architecture firm said.

They said the architecture is a study in contemporary refinement.

"Drawing on the timeless warmth and craftsmanship of traditional brickwork for the exterior. The building itself nestles into terraced landscaping, with ground apartments elevated above the street and generous balconies on higher levels offering views across landscaped planters to the bay."

The 15 two-bedroom apartments start from $1,275,000, while the 12 three-bedroom apartments are priced from $2.05 million.
