Nightingale Housing Project
Duckett St, Brunswick VIC 3056
Nightingale Housing is a not-for-profit organisation delivering homes that are socially, financially and environmentally sustainable.
The Village is a collection of six neighbouring buildings, each designed by a different award-winning architect using the social, environmental and financial sustainability principles of the Nightingale model. These principles are embedded in every building, and across the street.
Quatro Design had the opportunity to supply product to two of these building projects – Nightingale Parklife & Nightingale CRT+YRD.
