We’d like to welcome all the residents to their new home at Nightingale Preston.

Nightingale Preston is about a moment in time. An inflection point. A fork in the road.⁠⁠

The site is on Wurundjeri Country, in Melbourne’s north, tied to three histories. A pre-colonial history of wooded grasslands, of a rich biodiverse open landscape, a post-colonial history of industry and rail infrastructure and more recently, a residential history, an island site of monocultural social housing, a failed attempt at public good. Nightingale Preston, however, looks to the future. A future that pays homage to its past, that looks to regenerate the landscape and the planet while building equity and community.⁠

Located on the southeast corner of the site. A busy road to the south, an elevated train line to the east. The building holds a tough corner, acts as an urban marker and shield to the pedestrianised laneways and streets within the broader  precinct. ⁠

The project includes 7 Teilhaus homes, 20 one bedders and 25 two bedders as well as two commercial spaces, all designed with people and planet at heart.
