With the Anstey train station directly bounding the west, the Bulleke-bek park two blocks to the south and Sydney Road to the east, Nightingale Anstey is ideally positioned to support a life lived in social, environmental and financial sustainability.

This eight-storey multi-residential building is broken up into two communities, each with separate secure entries via a lush vegetated forecourt off the western colonnade. A simple palette of robust materials punctuated with crevices of mature trees and greenery results in a building which is reflective of its context and surrounds, yet recessive in its form giving way to long term public green amenity. Anstey Laneway is the southern community.

We acknowledge the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, the Traditional Custodians of the land upon which Nightingale 1 stands. We recognise their continuing connection to land, waters, and culture.

I love the mix of materials like terrazzo, brass and cement all together. I think you can put anything in here, and it works.
