The high walk score suburb of Northcote has always been a pioneer of Melbourne sustainability initiatives. Tomorrow Northcote consolidates this character, featuring verdant gardens and an environmentally sustainable design carried throughout the building and each residence. The visionary architecture of Tomorrow makes a positive difference to the tapestry of Melbourne’s inner-north.

Tomorrow closely observes the Better Apartments Design Standards by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning, and the Office of the Victorian Government Architect. These standards consider a range of factors from natural light to generous floorplan sizes to improve liveability and sustainability. Tomorrow embodies these standards, with close attention to acoustic comfort, the usage of high-quality double-glazed windows, and layout scale and proportions supporting practical contemporary lifestyles.

A robust solar panel system is installed on the Tomorrow Northcote rooftop, as is a catchment area harvesting stormwater in a rainwater tank. Apartments feature five star Water Efficiency Labelling Scheme (WELS) tapware, LED lighting, and the option of either induction or gas cooktops. All materials used for the composition of the Tomorrow Northcote building are non-toxic and exceedingly durable.

Landscaping curated by John Patrick adds awe-inspiring verticality and depth to the Tomorrow building, with trailing plants covering balconies. Each Tomorrow dwelling also has its own herb garden.

The material palette used at Tomorrow is deliberately subdued and contemporary, so residents can instil their own stylistic flair throughout their home. Apartments are blanketed by highly efficient double-glazed windows and full-height sliding doors, capturing views over the vibrant streetscape of St Georges Road, towards the city skyline, or westward towards the flowing waters and green banks of Merri Creek. Large living spaces are bathed in natural light and connect seamlessly to a private terrace or garden oasis. Superb open-plan designs interconnect the kitchen, lounge, dining, and terrace, accentuating entertainment possibilities and facilitating cross-ventilation.

Elegant blue feature battens across the kitchen joinery panels echo the building exterior. Kitchens also boast focused task lighting, SMEG appliances, and seamlessly integrated cupboards with inbuilt shelving configurations. Living areas are fitted with durable timber flooring, and kitchens with exceptional stone benchtops. Bathrooms include custom cabinetry, a double vanity, and a stone bench, all married with sleek European tapware and neat feature tiles.
