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

This 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.

The 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 sustainable building category of Dezeen Awards 2023.
