Skye House by Breathe sits at the eastern edge of The Village. Drawing inspiration from Ricardo Bofill’s The Factory, the repeated arches along the Duckett Street facade are also a re-interpretation of a familiar Brunswick motif, referencing the eclectic Mediterranean houses scattered around the suburb. The use of textured paint over the arches encourages greenery to take hold. Internally, the building features two central light courts to the East and West, which allow for natural daylight penetration to bedrooms, and encourage residents to engage with the open, verdant green courtyards below.
We acknowledge the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, the Traditional Custodians of the land upon which Nightingale Skye House stands. We recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture.
