Award-winning sustainable development MATTONE has officially reached completion in the heart of Richmond, marking a major milestone for the boutique collection of townhomes and offering one final opportunity to own one of Melbourneâs most sustainable homes.
This last remaining residence is the projectâs most impressive. The premier front-facing townhouse is the only home in the collection to feature a private rooftop terrace with sweeping city views, a secure garage, and unmatched street presence. This home was deliberately held back from market by the developer to allow buyers to âtouch and feelâ the quality upon completion.
âWe wanted people to experience the tactile beauty of MATTONE in its finished form,â said developer Chris Tyas. âThis last residence is a testament to everything the project represents: cutting-edge sustainability, timeless design, and a rare sense of calm and quality in the inner city.â
Designed by MAArchitects and brought to life by Tycorp, MATTONE has been widely recognised for its
environmental innovation and considered material palette. The project was awarded Silver at the World Better Future Awards and is shortlisted as a finalist for the Excellence in Sustainability category at the upcoming Urban Developer Awards.
With features like thermally broken double glazing, 7+ Star NatHERS ratings, all-electric systems, and solar integration, MATTONE exemplifies the new standard of inner-urban living. It is both beautiful and high-performing.
Each home also includes energy-efficient heat pump hot water, increased roof and wall insulation, and a whole-home âkill switchâ to eliminate unnecessary energy use at the touch of a button.
âOur homes are fossil fuel free and designed to be 100 percent powered by renewables,â Tyas added. âWith features like EV charging, rainwater harvesting, composting, and passive solar design, sustainability isnât an add-on. It is embedded in every detail.â
This aligns with broader market trends. Domainâs 2025 Sustainability in Property Report found that energy-efficient homes in Melbourne now command a premium of up to 23.8 percent, with buyers willing to pay more for homes that reduce their environmental footprint and ongoing energy costs.
Selling agent Leonard Teplin of Marshall White Projects says the success of MATTONE reflects a broader shift among affluent inner-city buyers.
âWeâre seeing a growing segment of high-net-worth buyers who expect sustainability as a baseline. These arenât green features for show. They are baked into the design,â Teplin said. âAt MATTONE, we attracted purchasers who wanted lasting quality and performance. This final residence is the pinnacle of that.â
The remaining townhouse offers a rare chance to secure a completed, brand-new residence in one of Melbourneâs most tightly held pockets.
