Nightingale Housing: 2023 Winner – Sustainable places
Nightingale Housing is the Industry Leader award winner in the Premier's Sustainability Awards 2023 – Sustainable places category. Six leading architecture firms came together through Nightingale Housing to acquire the Nightingale Village site in 2017. They shared Nightingale’s goal to reorient the Australian housing market towards providing homes for people rather than as an investor commodity.
The resulting precinct sets a new standard for sustainable, people-centred design. Each firm brings their vision to the site and shares spaces and facilities to ensure the best quality of life for residents and a high standard of environmental sustainability across the precinct.
Nightingale Village is 100% electric and includes 203 homes across 6 buildings, with 8 commercial street-level tenancies and 27 homes allocated to community housing providers ahead of public sales. The precinct also includes 17 small-footprint Teilhaus homes and just 20 car spaces, with 14 reserved for share cars.
