Six leading Australian architecture firms have collaborated to create Nightingale Village in Melbourne, Australia.

The project is a zero-gas residential precinct located five kilometres from the Melbourne central business district (CBD).

Comprising 203 homes across six buildings, with eight commercial tenancies at street level, Nightingale Village sets a new standard for sustainable, community-centred design in a high-density context.

Each building was designed according to the social, environmental and financial sustainability principles of Nightingale Housing.

This Melbourne-based organisation aims to reorient the broken Australian housing market away from real estate as an investor commodity, and towards providing quality homes that support sustainable living and community connection.

This project has been shortlisted in the housing project category of Dezeen Awards 2023.
