As Melbourne’s property developers look to maximise the number of units they can fit within a small footprint, finding a home-sized city residence can be rare.
In the exclusive inner-southeast, Tintern Toorak Village by Prime Edition is bringing this unique vision to life.
“It’s a boutique development of just three whole-floor, home-sized residences, right on the doorstep of Toorak Village — something that’s increasingly hard to find,” says Prime Edition Director Alistair Taylor.
“While many projects in the area lean toward higher density, Tintern does the opposite. It prioritises privacy, scale and quality over volume.”
Tintern Toorak Village is a rare boutique development in one of Melbourne's most desirable suburbs.
Why discerning buyers are looking to Toorak
With Prime Edition's Como Toorak penthouses selling for a record-breaking $21m each, it’s no secret that Toorak is one of the most sought-after suburbs in Melbourne.
“Toorak has long been regarded as Melbourne’s most prestigious address,” Mr Taylor says.
“With proximity to the city, elite schools, private clubs, dining and the Yarra, it offers a lifestyle that’s impossible to replicate elsewhere.”
Tintern itself sits within the suburb’s much-loved social and retail hub, Toorak Village.
The Village is part of what makes Toorak not only so convenient, but also a thriving lifestyle location.
“It’s a genuinely walkable strip with cafes, boutiques and everyday essentials all in one place,” Mr Taylor says.
“Recent upgrades to footpaths and the streetscape, along with new restaurants, have refreshed the Village without changing its character.”
Toorak is a blue-chip suburb and Toorak Village is a vibrant hub for the local community.
The design behind a “home-sized” apartment
While Tintern Toorak Village is placed to offer residents the best of city life, it won’t mean they’ll have to sacrifice the space and comfort of a luxury home.
The three residences have been specifically crafted by interior design studio Hecker Guthrie to be “home-sized”, a feature that informs not just their expansive layouts but also each apartment’s look and feel.
Paul Hecker, Hecker Guthrie founding principal, says that “home-sized” design speaks to both scale and experience.
Each residence occupies an entire floor, with access to external spaces on all sides, and includes functional kitchens, generous laundries, and clearly defined living and sleeping zones.
“Bedrooms are not simply arranged off a corridor; instead, there is a considered sequence of spaces,” Mr Hecker says.
He also notes that each apartment has a proper entry, adding to the carefully curated experience of each home.
“You arrive before you inhabit the living space. There is a sense of progression and discovery, rather than stepping directly into a living room,” he says.
The residences at Tintern Toorak Village are designed to feel, and be, more like a spacious family home.
For even more space and grandeur, the exclusive penthouse extends across two floors with multiple dedicated living zones, and a bar and expansive outdoor terrace.
Mr Hecker emphasises that while the penthouse is larger, the same attention to detail has been built into every Tintern residence.
“The level of finish and resolution is consistent across all three residences. What distinguishes the penthouse is its scale, verticality and the privilege of the terrace experience,” he says.
With beautifully resolved joinery, a neutral colour palette, and finely crafted elements like the sculptural stone kitchen island and the premium Sub Zero and Wolf appliances, each apartment is designed to be an enduring and calming home for discerning buyers.
Each home’s layout has also been separately designed to best suit its unique outlook and height, instead of just being replicated throughout the three.
Carefully curated finishes give each Tintern residence a bold but refined style that will stand the test of time.
Enduring architecture from a leading team
From inside to outside, Tintern Toorak Village is the result of a considered and consistent approach to designing a building that is at home in its blue-chip suburb.
“Our vision was simple: create a building that feels grounded, timeless and worthy of Toorak’s architectural lineage,” says Mr Taylor.
“You’ll see it in the handcrafted Spanish brickwork, the sculpted forms and the way Acre’s landscaping softens the facade. It’s a building designed to sit confidently within the streetscape, not dominate it.”
The strength of the project comes from the team behind it, with Prime Edition’s portfolio including prestigious projects such as Como Toorak and Avoca South Yarra.
“We only work with the best, and Tintern is no exception,” says Mr Taylor.
“Our inhouse architecture team set the vision; Hecker Guthrie brought it to life with refined, sensory interiors; Acre shaped the landscaping to feel both private and connected; and Henny is delivering it with the precision they’re known for.”
He emphasises that every partner shares Prime Edition’s belief in craft, longevity and individuality — and that is exactly what Tintern Toorak Village represents.
Prime Edition and their partners have worked to create residences the match Toorak's design pedigree.
What makes now the time to buy
With only three residences on offer, and prices ranging from $8.5m to $14.5m, it’s clear that Tintern Toorak Village is a unique opportunity.
“In a Village location where new, whole-floor homes are rarely delivered, that level of exclusivity matters,” Mr Taylor says.
He emphasises that buying now not only lets buyers lock-in a premium Toorak address, but it also means they can capitalise on the benefits of the early stages of construction.
“You can secure today’s value, access meaningful stamp duty savings, and still have the opportunity to personalise select interior elements,” he says.
“With an experienced builder on site and clear construction momentum, purchasers can buy with confidence in delivery. Waiting doesn’t improve the opportunity — it simply increases the risk of missing out.”
