MATTONE Completes in Richmond with Just One Standout Residence Remaining

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 Melbourne’s most sustainable homes.

This last remaining residence is the project’s 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 “touch and feel” the quality upon completion.

“We wanted people to experience the tactile beauty of MATTONE in its finished form,” said developer Chris Tyas. “This 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.”

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 ‘kill switch’ to eliminate unnecessary energy use at the touch of a button.

“Our homes are fossil fuel free and designed to be 100 percent powered by renewables,” Tyas added. “With features like EV charging, rainwater harvesting, composting, and passive solar design, sustainability isn’t an add-on. It is embedded in every detail.”

This aligns with broader market trends. Domain’s 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.

“We’re seeing a growing segment of high-net-worth buyers who expect sustainability as a baseline. These aren’t green features for show. They are baked into the design,” Teplin said. “At MATTONE, we attracted purchasers who wanted lasting quality and performance. This final residence is the pinnacle of that.”

The remaining townhouse offers a rare chance to secure a completed, brand-new residence in one of Melbourne’s most tightly held pockets.
