About the Project

Long before the doors opened, the local community watched Chelsea Kindergarten take shape, knowing what it would mean for growing families in Melbourne’s bayside south.

Delivered as a double-storey childcare hub, the project features five generous classrooms and outdoor play areas across both levels, creating a seamless flow between indoor learning and outdoor discovery. Every square metre balances effortless functionality for educators with an inspiring environment for children.

The build was about more than hitting milestones; it was about creating a distinct sense of place and a vital community anchor that supports connection from the very beginning.

Our Projects

Homage is a collection of five residences in Ivanhoe’s Fairy Hills, drawing on the suburb’s history of grand riverside estates along the Yarra since the 1840s. Each home presents a monolithic, stone-faced façade echoing that classical heritage, wrapped around a fully modern interior.

Set among shaded, largely unchanged streets minutes from the village and city, materials such as oak herringbone flooring, natural stone, and custom joinery are chosen to age well over a lifetime. Homage stands as a modern interpretation of classical proportion, continuing Ivanhoe’s legacy rather than simply referencing it.

Positioned along the Mount Martha coastline, Esplanade is a bespoke residence that reflects thoughtful design, exceptional craftsmanship and a strong connection to its surroundings. Every detail has been carefully considered to create a home that balances refined living with everyday functionality, resulting in a residence that is both timeless and enduring.

Developed in partnership with The Salvation Army, this social housing project reflects Better Living Group’s commitment to creating places that have a lasting impact on people’s lives. Despite unexpected challenges throughout construction, our team remained focused on delivering safe, high quality homes that balance durability, functionality and long-term liveability.

More than a residential development, this project represents the opportunity to provide individuals and families with a place they can truly call home.

A benchmark in quality developments.
