High quality and robust materials give gravitas to the buildings, while a level of detail provides a richness and warmth to the pedestrian experience.
Nightingale, Wilam Ganga
Wilam Ganga, meaning ‘homes end’ and named in consultation with Wurundjeri Elder Aunty Gail Smith, marks the final piece of the Nightingale Anstey precinct at 8 Florence Street, Brunswick. This six-level development includes 28 sustainable apartments, two ground-floor tenancies, ample bicycle parking, communal facilities, and a rooftop garden.
Built to Nightingale’s principles of simplicity and affordability, Wilam Ganga prioritises passive solar design, double glazing, superior insulation, and 100% certified Green Power. The project delivers 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 no car access to this part of the cul-de-sac, there is a wonderful opportunity to transform the pedestrian-only zone into a landscaped park.
The rooftop’s activity and greenery create a dynamic skyline, visually connecting the development’s vertical community with the wider precinct.
