The Wilds

A collaboration with nature

The Wilds is a sensitively designed collection of 15 carbon neutral houses on the banks of Merri Creek. Delivered by Beulah, this is an exceptionally rare opportunity to live next to nature in the heart of Northcote. Each architecturally designed home blurs the boundary between open interiors, lush gardens, native landscapes and a welcoming neighbourhood. The Wilds is a place to reconnect, and rediscover the nature of living well.

The Wilds brings Beulah’s highly attuned approach to residential projects to Melbourne’s inner north for the first time. Occupying a rare creek-front site in a quiet pocket of Northcote, and with an emphasis on healthy living through biophilic design principles and surrounding landscaping, The Wilds presents the best of both worlds: an inner-city location, enveloped by nature.

The Wilds also stands apart on the residential landscape as the first carbon-neutral detached housing development for inner Melbourne. All houses incorporate a solar panel array and are 100% electric, including the induction cooktops. This enables the houses to operate fossil-fuel free.

Beulah’s working relationships with its architects are always close, and The Wilds is no exception. Each house is positioned to draw on the light, the breezes and the sounds of this unique site by the Merri Creek. The interiors of each house maximise the space that this unique position offers, with soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, a sense of flow within, and broad views of the gardens beyond.

“THE WILDS IS INCREDIBLY RARE IN THAT IT IS NOT ONLY CARBON NEUTRAL – IT ALSO CONSISTS OF EXPANSIVE DETACHED HOUSES, ALL LOCATED WITH DIRECT FRONTAGE TO THE MERRI CREEK.”
– ADELENE TEH, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, BEULAH

“Residents will have the privacy of their garden, yet will reap the benefits of belonging to a boutique community.”
– ADELENE TEH, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, BEULAH

The unique qualities of the creek-front setting and surrounding gardens have been incorporated into the floorplans to create a constant visual connection with nature. Spaces look out onto lush gardens that showcase water-sensitive landscape design, including drought-tolerant and indigenous plant species.

As well as a connection to nature, the outdoor spaces provide space to connect with fellow residents. With its kitchen garden and shared outdoor dining space, The Wilds is also where neighbours become friends.

Inside and out, The Wilds has been designed to be a house of wellbeing, from the sustainability principles in the architecture to the mental and physical health benefits of being surrounded by greenery and living by the ever-flowing water of Merri Creek.
