A new boutique residential development, Catani, is set to introduce a refined coastal living experience to St Kilda West, Melbourne. Located at 364–366 Beaconsfield Parade, directly opposite Catani Gardens and the waterfront, the project comprises 18 luxury residences, ranging from two- and three-bedroom apartments to two penthouses, each featuring private rooftop terraces, pools, and panoramic views of Port Phillip Bay.
Developed and constructed by Lowe Living, Catani brings together a team of prominent Australian professionals including architects Jackson Clements Burrows, interior designer Brahman Perera, and landscape architects Plume Studio. The development reflects a commitment to quality craftsmanship and contemporary coastal design that respects the historical context of St Kilda West.
According to Tim Lowe, co-founder and managing director of Lowe Living, the site represents a rare opportunity to create an exceptional living environment that honors the exclusivity of this treasured waterfront location. Jackson Clements Burrows drew inspiration from the former Queen’s Terraces, which once occupied the site, reinterpreting heritage elements such as rhythmic colonnades, curved balconies, and rooftop forms to foster a connection between past and present architectural styles.
Residences in Catani begin at $1.695 million and are designed to maximize space and natural light, with expansive outdoor terraces that engage with the surrounding coastal environment. The shared amenities include a rooftop retreat equipped with a sauna, outdoor entertaining areas, and sweeping views across both the city skyline and the bay, aiming to encourage community among residents.
Interior designer Brahman Perera developed a warm, nature-inspired palette that evokes the shoreline and gardens nearby. Materials such as timber, slate stone, engineered wood, honed natural stone, walnut, oak, and granite are combined to create interiors that balance sophistication with comfort. Kitchens serve as communal hubs within the homes, while bathrooms offer private, luxurious retreats.
Catani’s location offers direct access to the foreshore and Catani Gardens, with nearby cafés and the lively precincts of Middle Park, Albert Park, and St Kilda within walking distance. Its proximity to Melbourne’s central business district adds a layer of convenience to a lifestyle characterized by the rare combination of beachfront tranquility, village amenities, and urban connectivity.
The development aims to establish a new standard for contemporary waterfront living in one of Melbourne’s most prestigious coastal neighborhoods.
