Boston is a collection of seven secluded and impeccably crafted luxury residences inspired by the site’s intriguing history. In 1859, vigneron Andrew Murray bought 103 acres of land to realise his dream of producing world-class wines. He named his estate Balwyn, combining ‘Bal’ (Gaelic for home) and ‘Wyn’ (a Saxon word for vine) to create ‘the home of the vine’.
Today, the renowned Mim Design strongly references this local story through the selection of wine-inspired colours and materials, imbuing each home with a sense of warmth and permanence.
"We are exceptionally proud of our design for Boston — the period details that give the homes character and the contemporary elements that provide incredible comfort. Every detail within Boston is bespoke and high-end, from the angle of a timber stair to the curved stone of an island bench.”
A leafy entrance through a vine-covered arbour leads to fenced front gardens that enhance the feeling of privacy and seclusion. Large courtyards, conceived by John Patrick, provide residents with a deep connection to the landscape and charming spaces in which to entertain. The residences will be enveloped by a highly considered, low-maintenance landscape, affording residents the best of both worlds — a lush green backdrop that flourishes when left alone.
" We create meaningful connections between the indoor and outdoor spaces.
The landscape itself provides a living canvas while enhancing wellbeing.”
Boston is designed to be immersed in the quiet streetscape, sitting comfortably within the towering canopies and stately homes that grace this prized locale. The architectural façade is an exercise in clean lines, at once robust and unassuming, bold and timelessly elegant. Louvres in timber hues celebrate the natural surrounds and dark cladding allows the architecture to sit sensitively within the site.
Mim Design focuses on period details with a contemporary application. High skirtings, ten foot ceilings, timber panelling and brass detailing flow through the interiors accompanied by a backdrop of lush gardens and view lines.
The design philosophy creates an anchor within the design enabling a sense of consistency, aesthetic sensibility and ultimately, liveability. The colour palette is also crucial within the design. Soft modern timbers paired with modern greens and blues provide a symbolic association with traditional architectural colours and materials.
Boston is rooted in a Victorian aesthetic expressedwith a contemporary playbook. The two eras live in beautiful contradistinction: traditional elegance and sustainable technology.
Sustainable Features
The fine details of the kitchen design are expressed in classical compositions with contemporary design elements through the main area and into the butler’s pantry.
Traditional timber panelling provides a sense of familiarity and homely that contrasts with the modern contours of the kitchen bench. A light colour palette and a continuous line of integrated joinery creates a sense of expansiveness and generous benches provide ample space for cooking together. High-end Vintec wine fridges, Wolf appliances and Brodware tapware add a final touch of indulgence to the space.

Sunlight streaming down from above bounces softly off the polished plaster walls, diffusing the light with a warm intensity. The living area flows to the kitchen, connected by Woodcut Herringbone floors and the calming blue tone of the joinery. With approximately ten foot high ceilings and crisp white hues, a broad and elegantly neutral space awaits a personal touch.
A separate powder room features benches in striking natural stone with veins of white, grey and green.

When stepping into the home, the first impressions are the gentle spill of light, the strong geometry of the staircase and the elegant patterns of the joinery.
