Inside Caulfield North's most boutique address, LUMA
Caulfield North isn’t short on prestige, but it is short on boutique new apartment developments with spacious floorplans.
Cue LUMA, the newest development by Skylife Group, which offers just nine apartments on Hawthorn Road.
LUMA occupies a coveted position near Caulfield Park, encircled by Melbourne's finest schools, parks, and culinary destinations. Its low-rise form by Metaxas Architects channels timeless design principles, wrapped in a restrained yet luxurious material palette.
Every residence embraces natural light and outlooks, thanks to expansive glazing and thoughtfully arranged floorplans.
Ranging from 80 sqm to nearly 160 sqm internally, with terraces or balconies extending up to 30 sqm, the homes offer a diversity of configurations, from two-bedroom residences to three-bedroom layouts with up to three bathrooms.
The interiors are unified by a calm, light-infused aesthetic. Organic white walls, soft walnut timber joinery, and Aurora Range European Oak flooring are paired with plush carpeted bedrooms, creating a harmonious tactile experience.
The kitchens at LUMA serve both as culinary workspaces and statement design features. Buyers can choose between a lightGlacier Honed or dark Turko Argento natural stone benchtop, with timber-look Polytec Ravine joinery and fluted glass cabinetry providing contrast.
Miele appliances complete the package, tailored to residence size, with premium upgrades for three-bedroom homes including an 80cm induction cooktop and Gen 7000 speed oven.
Bathrooms echo the same sensibility, with natural stone, black EXON fixtures, and frameless glass showers. Select residences offer freestanding baths.
Private outdoor spaces, secure parking, and options for EV charging reflect a practical yet elevated lifestyle focus.
As the development progresses toward its late 2026 completion, construction is in the hands of RF Construction Management, bringing over 30 years of local high-end building expertise.
LUMA also offers a five per cent deposit structure, allowing buyers time to plan while securing their place in this tightly held precinct.
