The Malvern Area An exclusive boutique development located in one of Melbourne’s most prestigious enclaves. This latest development by Ninety Four Feet, occupies one of the largest parcels of vacant land in Malvern and features a late 19th Century heritage-listed church. The property offers a wonderful opportunity to build on the past, while presenting housing options rarely seen in this exclusive domain.
There’s a sense of space not normally experienced in a development of this scale. Secure car parking on site for all residents also adds to the appeal of Seasons Malvern, even though there’s a highly orchestrated network of public transport from trams, trains and buses, literally on the door step.
Floorplans
These spacious residences feature open plan living areas that maximise space, comfort and flexibility. Kitchen island benches, loosely separate the kitchen from the dining and living areas. Timber washed flooring, European inspired two pack and timber veneer cabinetry featuring soft closing drawers, thick edged stone benchtops and Miele appliances complete the look.
The Seasons Malvern apartments are beautifully nestled in a lush garden setting. Privacy is further achieved by perforated metal shutters which frame generous balconies. When closed, these balconies function as an outdoor room. As well as creating privacy, the shutters diffuse the afternoon western light whilst reinforcing the dynamic facade.
Finishes

Seasons Malvern offer the choice between a light or dark colour scheme that incorporate Timber washed flooring, European inspired two pack and timber veneer cabinetry featuring soft closing drawers, thick edged stone benchtops and Miele appliances to complete the look.
The Gardens
The landscaping needed to respond to the Malvern area with it’s established trees and lush parklands. I also found it important to showcase the church, and incorporate the natural palette of materials used by the architect ” – Jack Merlo Planting in front of the church is relatively low, with shrubs carefully positioned behind a 1.5 metre open steel blade fence.
One of the most striking features of Seasons Malvern is a nine metre wide promenade separating the church from the apartments. Bordered by a row of pin-oaks and featuring central planter boxes, there’s an impressive sense of arrival. The natural palette of materials used by the architect is reflected in the stone paving and timber decking – an integral part of the design.
As well as a central spine, Jack Merlo Design have included dense planting along boundaries, including Hills Figs, Portuguese Laurels, Chinese Elms, to create privacy, as well as verdant outlooks from windows.
