5 Park Crescent Phase
Integrated Design to Delivery
5 Park Crescent was delivered through Albert Living’s fully integrated model — where architectural design, construction, joinery, and stone are developed and executed under one team. This eliminates handover risk and ensures every decision made in design is carried through to completion.

Phase 1
Design
The project began with a constrained inner-east site, requiring careful planning to maximise light, openness, and spatial flow. Architectural design and structural engineering were developed together in-house from the outset, allowing key decisions — including glazing proportions, ceiling heights, and circulation — to be resolved early.
Material direction was also established at this stage, with curved forms, natural stone, and timber elements coordinated as part of a single design system rather than separate selections.
Phase 2
Construction
Construction progressed with a tightly coordinated programme, where design intent was already fully resolved prior to site works. Large-format glazing, curved structural elements, and detailed façade treatments were executed without redesign or compromise during the build phase.
Because design and construction were aligned from the beginning, site decisions remained consistent with the original architectural vision, avoiding delays typically caused by design changes or consultant handovers.
Phase 3
Joinery
All custom joinery was designed and produced in-house, allowing cabinetry, wardrobes, and integrated furniture to be resolved alongside the architectural drawings. This ensured alignment in proportions, material finishes, and spatial integration.
Rather than adapting standard cabinetry to suit the space, each joinery element was purpose-built, enabling seamless transitions between rooms and maintaining consistency across the home.
Phase 4
Stone
Stone selection, detailing, and fabrication were managed as part of the same integrated workflow. This allowed surfaces to be coordinated directly with joinery and architectural elements, ensuring continuity across benchtops, wall cladding, and feature details.
By keeping stone in-house, tolerances, finishes, and installation sequencing were controlled precisely, avoiding the coordination issues that typically arise between separate trades.
Phase 5
Handover
At completion, the home was delivered as a fully resolved environment, with all architectural, interior, and material elements aligned with the original design intent.
Because every stage — from design to final installation — was managed under one team, the result is a cohesive, high-end residence with no disconnect between concept and execution.
What It Costs to Build a Luxury Home in Kew
Luxury homes in Kew typically range between $8,000 to $11,000+ per square metre, depending on site conditions, architectural complexity, structural requirements, and level of interior finish.
5 Park Crescent is currently in design development, so final project cost details will be added once the scope, documentation, and material direction are confirmed.
Albert Living provides early cost planning throughout the design process to support clear decision-making before construction begins.

Frequently Asked Questions — Luxury Home Builders Kew
Common questions about building a luxury custom home in Kew, Victoria — from planning permits and approvals through to construction timelines and integrated furniture.
Construction costs for a luxury custom home in Kew typically range from $8,000 to $11,000 per square metre depending on design complexity, site conditions, and finish level. A 300 sqm architecturally designed home in Kew would generally range from $2.4M to $3.3M in construction value, excluding land.
A full custom architectural build in Kew typically takes 12 to 18 months from initial design brief through to occupancy permit — including 2 to 3 months for design and documentation, 60 days for building permit approval, and 9 to 12 months for construction.
Albert Living has an in-house architectural team that manages all design work directly — you do not need to engage a separate architect. Our architectural design, structural engineering, interior design, and visualisation are all developed in-house as part of the full build scope.
A true luxury home builder in Kew manages the full complexity of a high-end residential build — architectural design, council approvals, construction, custom joinery, stone finishes, and integrated furniture — under one roof. Albert Living is the only builder in Melbourne's inner east delivering all of these under one integrated team, from the first conversation to the day you move in.
Building in Kew is governed by the City of Boroondara, which applies neighbourhood character guidelines, heritage overlays, and significant tree protections. For most single dwelling constructions in Kew, only a building permit is required. Sites within a heritage overlay may require a planning permit from Boroondara Council before any work can begin.
