nightingaLe ViLLage, located in
the Melbourne suburb of Brunswick,
provides a new model for affordable
housing that breaks the traditional
mould in terms of both its design
mentality and as a social experiment
to bring residents together as part of a
self-supporting community.
Nightingale was conceived as a
collaborative, effort by a group of local
architects, and applies design solutions
geared to maximixing residents'
interests rather than developer profits.
A medium-density precinct built in
a former industrial neighborhood,
it comprises 203 homes (for both
families and singles) in six buildings,
each designed by a different firm of
architects.
Adopting a simple design approach
that is at once both unified and
non-standard, the fossil fuel-free
development prioritizes environmental
and financial sustainability.
Living areas are oriented north/south
towards the street, while bedrooms
with operable windows face into light
courts, allowing cross ventilation and
providing acoustic havens on a site
otherwise impacted by train and road
traffic noise. There are landscaped
internal areas, rooftop gardens, EV
charging stations, bicycle storage, and
a focus on fresh air circulation.
Apart from these aspects of physical
design, architects also prioritized the
creation of an inclusive, varied, and
inter-connected community. They did
this in a number of ways, one of which
was by avoiding the usual high-density
approach, leading to a significant
improvement in living conditions and a
variety community-focused outcomes.
As one juror observed: " Time was a
friend to the developer in negotiating
with the city council a range of
outcomes that most other developers
would never attempt, such as a
street closure, urban park, and most
importantly, design solutions geared
to maximizing residents' health, safety,
comfort and sense of ownership and
belonging. "
Overall, Nightingale Village is an
example of how innovative solutions to
affordable housing can be derived by
avoiding the standard, maximal-profit
development model and opting instead
for creative, low-cost, design-led
approaches that prioritize the interest
of end-users. UL
