Derby Street, Studio Bright for Milieu
(Construction Commenced)

In their first collaboration with Milieu, Mel and her team at Studio Bright have designed a limited collection of 22 homes for the top end of Collingwood. Derby Street by Milieu is a thoughtful response to it’s setting, situated between Gertrude Street and East Melbourne, combining the cultural richness of the inner north with the quiet character of heritage streets and mature gardens.

Balancing connection to the neighbourhood with a sense of seclusion and refuge, Studio Bright’s design for Derby Street embodies a level of care and craft typically reserved for single residential projects. Each apartment is defined by robust and enduring materials, thoughtful layouts and generous spaces.

Studio Bright are the most recent recipients of the Australian Institute of Architect’s Robin Boyd Award for Residential Architecture. This award is Australia’s premier honour for residential architecture.

Otter Place by Milieu, Collingwood
(Completed 2024)

As Milieu’s home, Otter Place represents a decade of creative development and is a tangible expression of our values. The essence of Milieu, and what we stand for, is felt in each detail. Situated moment’s from Smith Street – the cultural and culinary heart of Fitzroy and Collingwood – this building was created in collaboration with local practice DesignOffice and international studio Hassell.
Our primary workspace is an elegant double height volume flooded with natural light from Otter Street.⁠ A timber lined gallery to the mezzanine above connects the kitchen, lounge and boardroom, providing spaces for engagement and casual conversations.⁠

As long-time residents of Otter Street, we’re proud to contribute to its streetscape and community. We’ve worked here for 10 years – and we look forward to many more.

In a time of soaring costs, how can “off the plan” design provide community, sustainability, and value?

As part of Melbourne Design Week 2026, Milieu Director, Michael McCormack, was invited to join a panel with Jeremy McLeod (Breathe Architecture) Qianyi Lim (Sibling Architecture), and Andrew Mackenzie (Publisher, writer and design advisor) to provide practical tips, lessons learned, and real-world examples to inspire smarter decisions for resident-investors.

This session reviewed design-led developments from property developers to state government to decode floorplans, features and trade-offs. This fascinating discussion took place in front of a packed Great Hall at the NGV.

Plant Street by Milieu (Now Selling)

Situated 10 kilometres south-east of the CBD, Plant Street by Milieu is in Malvern, known for its leafy streets, sprawling parklands and heritage architecture. Close to Malvern Road, Glenferrie Road and High Street, the building is connected to an excellent range of retail spaces, dining venues and community facilities, as well as public and private schools. While much of the area’s offerings are within walking distance of home, the area is well serviced by public transport, including a tram stop adjacent to the building.

Designed in collaboration with local architecture practice RITZ&GHOUGASSIAN, and interiors by local studio Georgina Jeffries, plant life envelops the building and internal open-air atrium to gently filter the streetscape without creating disconnection from the neighbourhood.
