Located in Brunswick and built as part of the Nightingale Anstey precinct, Nightingale Wilam Ganga is a six-level residential development including 28 sustainable apartments.

Designed by Six Degrees Architects, the building takes its name, which translates as ‘homes end’, from the local Woi Wurrung language. According to the architects, this name was decided upon in consultation with Wurundjeri Elder Aunty Gail Smith.

Established in 2007 by Jeremy McLeod, Tamara Veltre, Nightingale Housing is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to delivering homes that are socially, financially, and environmentally sustainable.

In line with this ethos, Nightingale Wilam Ganga, which stands adjacent to the organisation’s first development (The Commons), includes various environmentally and community focused features, including a minimum 7.6 stars NatHERS rating for each apartment, a 15kWp photovoltaic array, and the incorporation of low embodied energy materials.

Powered by 100 per cent green energy, it also includes the capacity to collect rainwater for landscape irrigation, commercial tenancy toilets, an energy efficient heat pump hot water system, and a shared rooftop with veggie patches, a communal laundry, an electric BBQ, and unobstructed views to the west.

According to the architects, the project was designed to deliver healthy, comfortable, cost-efficient homes that foster community while connecting with the surrounding neighbourhood and emphasising the experience of entry and departure within the broader Nightingale Village.

With three of these homes pre-allocated for community housing providers, the apartments vary in sizes, and include 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 3-bedroom double-storey options.

In addition, some of these homes are designed as Teilhaus apartments. Taking their name from the German word ‘Teilhaus’ (which translates as ‘part of house’), these are space efficient, small-footprint homes that are designed to maintain functionality through joinery and flexible spaces.
