A Home That Evolves With You
Designed in likeminded collaboration between Buxton Projects, NTF Architecture and Jack Merlo Design & Landscape, Sycamore Place is a premium collection of individual townhomes situated at the heart of Melbourne’s coveted Malvern East. Thoughtfully planned to evolve with you through life’s journey, Sycamore Place responds to a deep understanding of the way people live and grow.
A Welcome Journey
Architecture and landscaping have been designed in harmony to welcome residents home via a meandering pathway featuring flourishing tiered gardens intertwined with the built environment. A rich and immersive garden landscape has been cultivated to activate the senses, foster moments of discovery, and create a calming effect on arrival to temper the rigours of the day.
A Visionary Lifestyle
Each home is informed by a deep understanding of the way we want to live and designed to respond to changing lifestyles over a lifetime.
Reinstating many of the qualities of a stand-alone home — expansive facades, private entryways, dual living zones, optimised ESD measures, resilient natural materials, and an emphasis on the immersive beauty of the landscape — Sycamore Place fosters innovative homes of enduring relevance.
An Idyllic Urban Village
Drawing upon the botanical ambience and village-like milieu of Melbourne’s coveted Malvern East, Sycamore Place enjoys a strong connection to the surrounding community where recreational facilities, ample public transport, exceptional schools, a dynamic social and cultural scene and an expansive selection of cafe’s and restaurants are all within walking distance.
A common response to our work is an appreciation of the light and space we create, but our designs are also conceived for a world where the sun shines, rains fall, winds blow, and temperatures vary – it’s this thinking that makes our buildings liveable, and lasting.
We are a Melbourne-based practice specialising in intelligent and sustainable design solutions. Our experienced team of architects and interior designers deliver individualised and often unique outcomes specific to each site and context.
Over the years we have developed an extensive portfolio of residential, multi-residential, commercial and interior projects, many of which have gained industry awards and recognition.
Centrally located in Cremorne in inner Melbourne, we deliver projects of varying scales and typologies, with a consistent focus on high-quality, design-focused outcomes that are bespoke and timeless by their nature.
The practice was founded in 2006 by Brett Nixon and George Fortey, who had previously learned their craft with some of Australia’s leading architectural firms, working on a wide range of residential, multi-residential, commercial and interior projects across the country.
We have now delivered well over $500 million worth of projects in many parts of Melbourne and throughout regional Victoria, including Boroondara, Stonnington, the City of Yarra, Bayside, Port Phillip, the Mornington and Bellarine Peninsulas, Geelong, the Surf Coast and the Alpine Shire.
