Boston
Design at the core of each residence.
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.
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.”
John Patrick — Director
Design Philosophy.
Mim Design focuses on period details with a contemporary application. High skirtings, approximately 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.
