Breathe and Architecture architecture collaborated to create Urban Coup at the southern end of The Village. Urban Coup are a deliberative housing community who aim to live together in more socially integrated ways. Their building in The Village is the first vertical community of its kind in Australia.
Nightingale has worked with Urban Coup to help bring the Urban Coup community to life as part of the Village. As this building is being delivered under a co-housing model for a pre-existing resident community, Urban Coup it was not balloted to the general public.
We acknowledge the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, the Traditional Custodians of the land upon which Urban Coup stands. We recognise their continuing connection to land, waters, and culture.

We’ve got privacy, and we’ve also got connection. There’s no other building in the inner city that has been designed like this.
