Iconic Camberwell Homes Blending Heritage Design With Contemporary Quality

In one of Camberwell’s finest pockets, buyers are being treated to a rare blend of timeless design and contemporary craftsmanship.

A stunning new architecturally-designed development is launching in the heart of Camberwell, bringing together the romance of heritage architecture with refined, contemporary living.

Tucked away on a peaceful, tree-lined street in a sought-after enclave, Glyndon by Above Zero presents a rare opportunity to own a home that blends classic character with cutting-edge design.

Each of the homes have been thoughtfully crafted with a distinct architectural language inspired by Federation-era charm.

Ready for move-in by 2027, the development is already generating significant interest, according to Above Zero managing director, AJ Batra.

“It’s not every day you secure a premium 3,000sqm non-heritage parcel on one of Camberwell’s best streets—where homes can command prices above $10 million—and have the chance to reimagine it into a landmark development that respects heritage while looking to the future,” he shares.

Design-led living

At the core of Above Zero’s ethos is a commitment to enduring quality and purposeful design.

Brought to life through collaboration with renowned partners such as Cera Stribley, Lauren Tarrant Design, CDA Design Group, and Wilbow Group, Batra says every residence will be its own private “sanctuary.”

“Every home at Glyndon is crafted with intention—from considered layouts and enduring finishes to passive design principles that invite in natural northern light and achieve a 7-star-plus energy rating,” he explains.

They truly stand apart by marrying Cera Stribley’s architecture—where modern elegance meets enduring Federation-era charm—with Lauren Tarrant’s refined interiors that channel classic French sophistication.

The result is a series of homes that feel quietly refined, warm and deeply personal.

“Plus, our unparalleled customisation journey means each home is tailored to the unique needs of its future owner,” adds Batra.

With luxe finishes and considered design, Glyndon homes are perfect for discerning buyers.

No stone has been left unturned with outdoor spaces designed by Tim Vernon and CDA.

“They’ve created expansive private gardens and a central walkway adorned with arbours, canopy trees—over 47 of them—and lush plantings that cover more than half the site – creating a leafy, secure and low-maintenance setting that brings a sense of calm to daily life,” Batra notes.

Buyers have the choice of three- and four-bedroom homes, each designed to hero the garden views and northern light.

There are also all the thoughtfully considered elements, such as the personal lift, V-ZUG appliances, locally-made feature wall sconces by Sarah Nedovic, custom parquetry and marble flooring, and unique joinery.

Limewash feature walls add warmth, while the signature rosa stone powder room serves as a romantic detail , illustrating the artistry embedded in every element of the home.

The modern, considered designs of these Camberwell homes celebrate the incredible garden views.

Historic Camberwell

Batra highlights that the location in one of Melbourne’s most prestigious suburbs known for its heritage character and vibrant community, is central to its allure.

“A Camberwell address is synonymous with prestige,” he shares.

“The local dining scene here is charming and inviting. Whether it’s enjoying a leisurely breakfast at the local Fordham Village Milk Bar or unwinding with a glass of wine at one of the area’s intimate wine bars, these experiences create a warm, community feel that enriches everyday life.

“Lush parks and great walking paths provide a breath of fresh air amid urban life.”

The suburb is also rich in Federation architecture, which has been mirrored in the Glyndon homes.

He also points to the top-tier schools, great transport connections, and that the location is only a quick 20-minute trip to the CBD.

Median house prices in the area are also impressive sitting at $2.59 million, with a remarkable 23.3% price growth since 2020, which underscores the area’s desirability.

Camberwell is an exclusive, historic suburb blending leafy streetscapes with city convenience.

Flexible homes

In the bid to appeal to the diverse range of buyers in the Camberwell market, Batra says these luxury homes have been purposely designed to be flexible, making them a perfect fit for everyone —from families to downsizers.

A standout feature is the development’s concept of “Your Other Space”—a private basement sanctuary that offers complete customisation.

Whether made into a wellness retreat, a cinema lounge, a home office, or a family haven, this unique space adapts to the needs of the residents.

Batra says the collection of new homes is already proving popular and that interested buyers are encouraged to contact the Jellis Craig Projects sales team to book a private appointment in the display suite.
