How These Nightingale Apartments Build Less to Give More

- In 2014, Breathe Architecture aimed to address Melbourne's broken housing system by creating socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable apartments. The first Nightingale apartment building was constructed in Brunswick, featuring a design that considered the area's industrial aesthetic.
The building embraced reductionism, eliminating features like ceilings and dedicated laundries to reduce materials and embodied energy. Sustainability was a priority, with the apartments being carbon-neutral, eliminating gas, and incorporating solar panels for energy generation.
The project aimed to revolutionize communal living and tackle the climate and housing crises. After five years, Nightingale 1 has made a significant impact, leading to increased demand for sustainable and affordable housing.

What a wonder to find my music in this pearl🖤

Perfection! This is the benchmark for the future. How all residential multi developments should strive to be. Every detail considered and with sustainability and energy efficiency at the forefront of everything. I would move in in a heartbeat! The apartments and indeed the community areas are simply first rate and a home for life. Again thank you for the insight into Nightingale. This changes everything.
Then the future is hell - share socialistic lifestyle with shared amenities living in a bunker (cheap bunker at that) it’s evidence that we’re going backwards.
Wow i do really adore how beautiful and honest dis industrial style is! U manage no dry wall and ceiling, so all the utilities pipes and cables ensemble exposed aesthetically....it does need the deep thought of technical design consideration. Kudos team!
Great concept, but not everyone will like sharing a laundry room or other amenities, I live in a small apartment block, 10 apartments and only 9 owners, but we are not much of a community, it's a shame. We are currently getting quotes to redo the garden and I am hoping that it will encourage everyone to be more of a community. I think that one of the biggest stumbling blocks is the very big age difference between the owners and the length of time we have owned our unit.
Those apartments with private laundry facilities that aren't shared still exist tho, this is just adding that option to the market to provide lower income alternatives! I think since the advent of 'insular entertainment' (tv/internet) , people simply are less inclined to leave their apartment to find fun so these days so you have to be more active at building the community, maybe host a lil event? good luck!
Unfortunately you can’t make anti social and intimacy avoidant people more friendly with design only with psychological and spiritual transformation which is rare. I’ve lived in apartment buildings in Australia and people just do their best to avoid each other rather than form community or true friendship. In my experience the kinder and more thoughtful you are the more people avoid you because they themselves are afraid of being seen and known, and they are afraid that they might have to take care of you if take care of them. Sad.
I have MCS a chemical injury. sharing a washer dryer with people who use evil Tide, dryer sheets, and the like. Would make me sick and sicker than I already am😞
I agree I don’t want to share nor want to have to talk to others only by necessity - this place in my opinion is horrible like a concrete bunker only above ground.
@@Rubylove48it’s not sad why do “we” as a collective have to be forced together %100 all the time ? Aussies are good people, well, at the moment our culture is “fair go” that may change due to mass immigration, but in any case when I get home from work I want privacy, my own space, I’ve dealt with people enough through the day.
I love the way you've been able to give plants both aesthetic and functional value and use. Generally speaking, it looks very nice and the abundance of natural green makes it look more relaxing and fresh. I've wanted to do something like this on my balcony since my wife gave me the Flag Halyard Chair from Barcelona Designs and I use it every day to sit down to catch some air in the afternoons. I need more plants in my life.
Love the bikes garage, used to have on my apartment block by it’s entrance, and as kid made cycling so easy an convenient any time. Also love the rooftop landscape.
Someone else did a video about nightingale a couple of years ago and I literally still talk about it, the architecture is so modern and still not ugly! lol
Very nice, the rooftop is to die for.
Remarkable. Thank You for sharing something so positive.
Beautiful!
I don’t see the need for a communal laundry. Just put a stackable washer dryer in each unit.
That rooftop is so nice
Love all the ideas!
Same here, Ghosted!
What kind of windows/doors are these? I have never seen a sliding door with two glass panels.
Very well done, but the term ‘curated’ is overused these days.
Great marketing. A 2bd apartment sells for $850k aud in this complex. No thanks
@@mielieu1513 unironically.
@@rebeccaw9656 Brunswick (where this apartment is located), is over developed with apartments. Median price for 2bd is $560k
Australians call that ‘affordable housing option’. So out of touch with reality.
@@rebeccaw9656 Sickening.
I have a hard time understanding how / why Australians seem to be amazed that some people live in apartments. You could walk through Brooklyn and find ~ 20 communities identical to this within a four block area. Is this really that novel for Aussies?
Yes Australians were wedded to having their own home with a backyard and living far away from others. It’s part of the great Australian dream sold to so many. People there place a premium on never having to see their neighbours. also for tax reasons people put all their capital into their homes as an investment so real estate is their way to futureproof their finances.
The idea of a rooftop garden/social area, and having no car park, these were so novel at the time - now many apartments in Melbourne copy this model. People were not thinking of apartments here as a quality, forever house.
The main materials used for this building are reinf concrete, steel and glass. Nothing about these materials is sustainable or long lasting. They get shiped around the world and are not local to the area. This kind of structure has a life expectancy of max 100 years (probably 50 to be honest without serious maintenance works). You built a house the same 'contemporary' way everyone else does in western countries with the difference not putting finishes on the house.
You’re %100 on the money it’s a bit of a conjob don’t you think ?
@@jimdavid7710 for real, find it crazy how people get sold on the idea that this is the future
how much per apartment
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Define affordable?
I think that it's too difficult to define, what is expensive for one person is affordable for another and even cheap for a third. My understanding is that property in Australia is very expensive, across the board! My understanding of this particular project is that the building is not sold for profit and the design is geared to lower the running costs significantly, which long term saves you money 💰
Beautiful development but what climate crisis?
Agree but I’d add not beautiful more concrete bunker - albeit above ground
concrete grimness
Climate crisis?? Where?
My only thing is having a toilet in the bathroom, it's not appropriate with bigger children.. They need privacy, as do adults, when bathing so a toilet should be separate.. My son is 8, it's something that I notice is a trend now and I don't like it..
It's interesting that you mentioned this, I grew up in South Africa and older homes usually had a separate loo to the rest of the bathroom, so it could be used by 2 people at the same time, each having their privacy. I now live in Portugal and I have never seen it here and even in SA it's not something that you see any more.
This is like ripped jeans for houses.
Funny that’s the point of it, it doesn’t make sense - seriously we’ll, done for that insightful observation

I love how they can spin the negativity of having exposed ceiling and bare finishing as something positive.
Like "the exposed ceiling really accentuates how they were created and you can see the mouldings" even sound like it's not a bad thing at all - which it is.
HAHAHAHAHA The power of marketing!
But if you treat architecture as a form of art, just like seeing the brush strokes in a painting reminds you of the method of creation and the painter who put their hard work into it; same could go for architecture, seeing little reminders of how the building was constructed reminds you that someone built it themselves, and how everything fits together!!
‘You can see all the utilities‘ And appreciate them in the foyer...🤣
I appreciate the greenery but I bet they have a mouse problem before long. That greenery is a mouse super highway. Also, I appreciate the minimalism but let’s be honest: the interiors are depressing AF. I can see what they’re trying to achieve though.
You would have to be a fan of industrial design - which I am. But furnishings and lighting can change the dynamic of an interior.
There’s no way I’d want to live therein a concrete bunker with only one dunny what a conjob based on saying that “oh we’ll give you more space” every development works on a maximization of development space. .. this is an example of society going backwards. I don’t want to live in share accommodation.
Climate 'crisis' ?? Can you clarify the title of your video
Yes press them on that, but I gather it’s part of the sales pitch, buy this & you’ll feel better about yourself
by default indian homes are more sustainable than this
Beautiful!
