Inside Plant Street by Milieu in Malvern: Urban's display suite tour
Design-led developer Milieu is making strong progress on Plant Street by Milieu, its first new development in Melbourne’s prestigious south-eastern suburbs.
This boutique project comprises just 21 residences and has been thoughtfully designed by acclaimed architecture studio Ritz & Ghougassian, with interiors by Georgina Jeffries. The development continues Milieu’s commitment to context-driven design—creating homes that blend seamlessly with their surroundings while offering a fresh, contemporary take on apartment living, a hallmark of the brand since its founding in 2010.
We recently visited the Plant Street display suite to give our audience a closer look at what future residents can expect.
The architecture by Ritz & Ghougassian is striking—defined by a bold, textured concrete façade and smooth slab edges that shift and soften with the movement of natural light throughout the day. The result is a dynamic streetscape that feels both architectural and organic: distinctly urban, yet quietly restrained.
Inside, Georgina Jeffries has curated a warm and inviting interior palette, using tactile materials that are designed to age gracefully over time.
At the heart of each residence, the kitchen reflects Milieu’s design-led philosophy. Integrated Swiss-made V-ZUG appliances, stone benchtops, and refined detailing come together to create a highly functional and elegant space.
Generous open-plan living areas are framed by expansive windows that flood the interiors with natural light, while offering leafy outlooks to the surrounding landscape.
Every element—from spatial proportions to natural materiality—has been carefully considered to evoke a calm, retreat-like atmosphere in the heart of Malvern.
Landscape architecture studio Acre softens the building’s bold geometry with a curated selection of layered, seasonal plantings. This thoughtful landscaping enhances the indoor-outdoor connection and further roots the development in its natural environment.
Positioned just moments from Malvern’s cafés, boutique shopping, and leafy parklands, Plant Street places residents at the centre of Melbourne’s vibrant south east.
Construction by Manresa is progressing steadily, with completion anticipated in Q3 2025.
