Introducing Tomorrow, a thoughtfully designed residential development by YOUNG Group and designed by MAP Architecture in Melbourne's inner north. These off-the-plan apartments have been crafted with a clear focus on discerning design and responsible living, incorporating functionality, sustainability, and amenity from every angle.

The gardens have been designed by renowned landscape architect John Patrick, adding verticality and depth to the building with trailing plants covering the balconies and a selection of herbs for residents' private gardens. These green spaces also provide a sense of belonging, where residents can relax and socialise with friends and neighbours.

Inside, the interiors have been guided by principles of simplicity and flexibility, allowing for spaces to adapt and grow with residents' needs. The warm palette with stone and timber accents creates an inviting and immediately relaxing atmosphere, while a choice of light and airy or dark and moody colour schemes allows for personalisation.

But Tomorrow isn't just aesthetically pleasing. It's also energy-efficient, with a 7.5 star rating from the Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS). The building's insulation and solar passive design reduce reliance on artificial heating and cooling, leading to reduced energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.

Natural light has also been a key consideration, with large, light-filled living spaces and double-glazed full-height sliding doors creating a visual and physical link between indoor and outdoor areas. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, from the views when sitting on the balcony to the amount of sunlight that will fill the residences in the middle of winter.

Melbourne's inner-north will soon gain a new architectural gem with the arrival of Tomorrow Northcote.

Currently under construction, the MAP Architecture-designed residences embody a fresh perspective on living, emphasising functionality, sustainability, and amenity in their design.

MAP have blended the essence of Northcote's eclectic housing styles into the architectural form of Tomorrow with the result being a residence that coexists with its surroundings.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110572 project_image_fid=186678]

The material palette employed in the façade, with its contemporary timber-look battens and highly efficient glazing, lends a subdued yet modern touch to the exterior.

The residences have been designed to flood the living spaces with natural light and establish connections to private garden areas or terrace oases.

The landscapes surrounding Tomorrow also play a vital role in creating a feeling of unity and belonging. Landscape architect John Patrick has infused the gardens with greenery that adds verticality and depth to the building. Trailing plants cover the balconies, while a curated selection of flora responds to the climate and character of Northcote at large.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110572 project_image_fid=186680]

Tomorrow's interior design has been guided by principles of simplicity and flexibility, with the spaces within each residence are designed to adapt and grow along with the residents themselves.&nbsp;

Tomorrow Northcote: A fusion of functionality, sustainability, and discerning design

Melbourne's leafy east suburb Glen Iris is attracting families with one of its latest developments.&nbsp;

BHC Property' latest townhouse collection, GlenHolm, offers a mix of two, three and four-bedroom floorplans, which is attracting families small and large.

The limited collection of large-scale townhomes at&nbsp;1795 Malvern Road has captured the attention of homebuyers due to its impressive features and ideal location, with MAP Architects behind the design.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3723 project_image_fid=206930]

Boasting landscapes by the esteemed John Patrick, the masterplan focuses on providing residents with privacy and a strong sense of community.

Each townhome is thoughtfully spaced, allowing for a sense of individuality and ample breathing space, with the staggered form of the homes further adding to the distinctiveness of each residence.

Nestled between the rows of townhomes, an open common area fosters a sense of neighbourly camaraderie, providing a place for residents to gather and gardens to flourish.

With the long-term resident in mind, GlenHolm incorporates various design elements to cater to modern living. The homes feature dedicated working-from-home spaces, ensuring that residents can easily adapt to the evolving demands of remote work.

Entrance stations offer convenience and security, while there's also intelligent storage solutions, high-quality Miele appliances and durable fixtures integrated throughout.

GlenHolm is also designed with sustainability in mind. These townhomes boast a 7-star energy rating, with innovative features such as high-performance glazing and 2.9 metre high ceilings contributing to maintaining comfortable living conditions, along with a lower carbon footprint and lower energy bills for residents.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3723 project_image_fid=206925]

Quiet streets wind through the area, offering a sense of serenity that is hard to come by in the city. Open parklands provide ample space for outdoor recreation, while the charming village shopping precincts cater to the needs of residents, ensuring convenience is just a stone's throw away.&nbsp;

Nature enthusiasts are in for a treat as the renowned Gardiners Creek Trail meanders through the eastern suburbs, stretching approximately 20 kilometres from Blackburn Lakes to the Main Yarra Trail in Burnley, while locals also enjoy the splendours&nbsp;of Hedgley Dene Gardens, boasting open lawns, an ornamental lake, and a number of footbridges.

Steeped in Edwardian-era charm, the nearby Central Park is another favourite, spanning almost 19 acres, with the verdant space home to an array of trees and garden beds, and even a cricket oval. Among its notable attractions is one of Victoria's oldest conservatories, a testament to the park's rich heritage and dedication to preserving natural beauty.

Culinary delights are also attracting families, with the local cafe, Pantry, a favourite among residents, renowned for its all-day brunch offerings. As the sun sets, the vibrant Asian-inspired diner and cocktail bar, Too Good Talker, takes centre stage.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3723 project_image_fid=206924]

Families have also been attracted to GlenHolm's proximity to a number of Melbourne's bests schools, including St Mary’s Primary School, Glen Iris Primary School, and Holmesglen Institute Chadstone Campus.

Residents can enjoy the convenience of being just a few minutes' walk from Glen Iris station, providing connectivity to the city and surrounding areas, while trams along bustling High Street are also within easy reach.

Why GlenHolm, Glen Iris townhouses, are a perfect family home

Buyers have started to move into the recently completed Hawthorn apartment development, Sierra.

The architecturally-friendly project, designed in the shape of an S by&nbsp;MAP&nbsp;Architecture to maximise natural light, has been developed by&nbsp;CDG Group who have a solid track record of developing quality mutli-res and high-end homes across Melbourne's most affluent suburbs.

Nest Projects Director Nick Marinakis says buyers so far have been drawn to Sierra's prime location, one of the project's biggest selling points.

'Hawthorn is a blue chip suburb within easy reach of the CBD as well as an abundance of parklands," Marinakis says, but he suggests Sierra sits in one of the most favourable locations in the sought-after suburb.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=94104 project_image_fid=175611]

Across Burwood Road from Sierra is the Grace Park Parklands and&nbsp;Sportsgrounds, which Marinakis says isn't just for the sport enthusiasts.

"The sports ground is just the start of large expanses of walking paths and public open space, which run all the way from Power Street to Glenferrie Road, which itself as everyone knows is bustling with retail and food and beverage choices," Marinakis says.

"There's also community gardens just 50 metres away from the project, and given there's a large majority of downsizer in Sierra, we expect a number of residents to tend to the gardens regularly.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=94104 project_image_fid=212500]

The Hawthorn Aquatic Leisure Centre is a few minutes walk away with Glenferrie Oval being adjacent and Grace Park tennis club even closer.

"There's everything from leisure and nature to multiple&nbsp; cosmopolitan hospitality venues on the doorstep of Sierra. The location is almost unrepeatable, and that's just as important as the apartment itself."

The project was designed to take in the green vistas that Hawthorn is known for, with balconies strategically located just above the tree line. Parts of levels three and four will also take in district views as well as views to Melbourne CBD.

Residents are likely to get forever unobstructed views, given the railway line in proximity and Grace Park, which has strict height limits to not build over two levels.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=94104 project_image_fid=175602]

Siera was built on a prime 7,000 sqm plus corner site, which could have accomadated much more than the 252 apartments on offer. The project was designed for the owner-occupier.

Marinakis is fielding enquiry from first home buyers looking to get their foot on the ladder in the 59 sqm, one-bedroom apartments, as well as downsizers and rightsizers who are more keen on the 150 sqm plus, two-bedroom apartments.

The amenity continues inside Sierra, with resident amenity including a wide lap pool, a state-of-the-art equipment by Technogym, as well as a number of outdoor seating and dining areas within the internal courtyards.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=94104 project_image_fid=175608]

Everything has been considered, Marinakis says. Small touches like a separate laundry cupboard with timber panels, as opposed to the more standard laundry area in the bathroom.

A number of the apartments have recessed study nooks or study rooms, which is drawing the work-from-home buyer.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=94104 project_image_fid=175603]

The entry presents well, but isn't overstated. There's vertical slatted timber and LED lighting welcoming residents.

Prices for one-bedroom apartments at Sierra start at $500,000. The two-bedroom apartments start from $620,000.

Sierra Hawthorn: How Hawthorn's latest apartment development draws first home buyers and downsizers

It's every developer's goal to sell out its project before construction commencement.

It's something that can only be achieved through two complementing elements; a well-thought out design plan, offering something different than what's available in an area, and a reputable development team who are trusted to deliver what they set out to.

Melbourne developer Young Group recently achieved the feat, selling out their 38-apartment project Custom Highett before it began construction.

And now buyers have moved into the recently completed building&nbsp;which came with a six-year building guarantee.

The sales were dominated by owner-occupiers, with the two-bedrooms predominantly snapped up by first home buyers, and the three-bedrooms more sought-after by the downsizer and empty nester demographic.

Joshua Muyambo from MAP Architect said they designed diverse apartment types - multifunctional - with ample flexibility.

<img alt="Custom kitchen" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ad4841e8-b617-451a-bb4b-535bc7ea93a2" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202022-10-04%20at%202.19.27%20pm.png?VersionId=RRaREEoDjBKuDMyOyGlEAvUJzpcvIgY2" />

"We've gone with a neutral palette, which focuses primarily on natural stone, and warm timber accents,"&nbsp;Joshua says.

The environmentally-friendly building secured an average 7.8-star natHERS energy rating, with no combustible cladding used in the façade materials.

Purchasers at Custom said they were attracted to the layout of the apartments, which have a real focus on indoor and outdoor living. The courtyard apartments feature wraparound outdoor spaces, which can be accessed from both the open plan living area and the bedrooms, maximising the amount of natural light each apartment captures.&nbsp;

The overarching driver that every purchaser highlighted as the most attractive proposition of Custom was the location.

Resident and downsizer Steven Ryan said he and his wife had been looking for around eight months before they found Custom.

"When we saw this one, it really jumped out at us because of the location," Steven says.

"That's all we knew at the start, was where it was. There was shops, public transport, and all those things we had wanted.

"It was the first time we felt that we should get in contact with the agent. We went and liked what we saw. We were sold."

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MztR8LsOfdg" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

Spring Yang, who heads up Young Group, said the location of the Station Street site made the team venture into Highett for the first time when they secured it in 2019.

"Custom is tucked away on a quiet residential street, while also being just 200 metres from the best shopping retail strip in Highett," Spring said.

"The Highett Street retail strip has a number of shops and cafes, as well as strong public transport infrastructure which easily links residents at Custom to the rest of Melbourne."

<img alt="Custom location" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="5ceae1de-6d09-4c25-a8af-ebe312671128" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202022-10-04%20at%202.21.35%20pm.png?VersionId=ERhwr3ROGHNZTvmw6mYQ.Us5fM3MZsGM" />

Young Group's latest project Tomorrow is another that's focused primarily on location, something that Spring says is the deciding factor in any new development the Young Group tackle.

"Tomorrow is ideally placed to enjoy the very best of Northcote - which was reported as Victoria's most liveable suburb in the recent <a href="https://www.pwc.com.au/important-problems/future-victoria/future-victoria-2021.pdf">'Future Victoria' report by PwC</a>," Spring says.

"Recognising that we are increasingly spending more time close to home, the local amenity and walkability of Northcote awarded it with ‘Top Live’ on the ‘Staying Local Score’ in the report.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110572 project_image_fid=190011]

"Tomorrow is located just a short stroll from the banks of Northcote’s Merri Creek – and has been designed to connect residents to all that Northcote has to offer, both in terms of nature and retail," Spring notes.

Young Group are going through the planning and approval process for their next three projects, Young Oakleigh, Victoria Brunswick, and Rose Essendon, the latter two apartment developments expected to go to market mid to late 2023.

Spring Yang, who heads up Young Group, put the success at Custom down to the location
