Design & Construct
Scope:
2 Prior Road in Malvern East is a strong example of MJS Construction Group’s design-and-construct capability on a challenging site. Completed in 37 weeks, this single dwelling was delivered on a previously subdivided corner block, requiring careful planning and a creative architectural response to meet the client’s brief.
From the outset, the client had an extensive wish list which demanded a well-considered layout without compromising space or flow. MJS prepared the building permit documentation and managed the project through construction, ensuring the design intent translated cleanly into a high-quality finished home. The residence spans approximately 28 squares and features four bedrooms including a guest suite with ensuite on the ground floor. Ground floor ceilings rise to three metres and 2.7 metres upstairs, creating a sense of volume and light throughout.
The ground floor includes an open-plan living zone with a fireplace, a dedicated theatre room, laundry and powder room, all arranged to support everyday family living and entertaining. The kitchen sits at the heart of the home and includes a walk-in pantry, laminate cabinetry, stone benchtops, and Smeg appliances. Timber flooring runs through the main living areas, complemented by timber stairs leading to the upper level. Upstairs, a retreat with a bar area adds another layer of functionality, ideal for relaxed family use.
Externally, the home presents a refined material palette with brick and render to the ground floor and lightweight cladding and render above. Full-height tiling is used throughout all wet areas, reinforcing the home’s high-end finish.
Double-glazed windows improve comfort and acoustic performance, while landscaping, driveways, and fencing complete the project with a polished street presence. Despite the constraints of the site, this Malvern East home delivers generous proportions, strong zoning, and a cohesive architectural outcome. It reflects MJS Construction Group’s ability to resolve design challenges early and deliver refined residential homes through a fully managed design-and-construct process.
