Perfectly positioned on the third floor on the northeast corner of this multi award winning building, this extraordinary apartment blends the charm and charter of an industrial warehouse with the latest modern comforts. All without comprising the buildings core philosophy; genuine environmentally sustainable living.

Designed by Breathe Architecture, considered the pioneer of sustainable housing in Melbourne and founder of the Nightingale housing model, this ground breaking building boasts a 7.5-star NatHERS rating. The exterior façade is timeless, and blends recycled bricks from the original warehouse with the warmth of natural timber (also reclaimed). This theme continues within the apartment with lofty raw concrete ceilings, timber hardwood floorboards, copper, brass, steel, and raw timber blending seamlessly to create a beautiful home.

The entire rooftop provides a great communal meeting place and incorporates individual timber planter boxes to grow your own herbs and veggies with views of Melbourne’s city skyline. The rooftop garden and north facing vertical vegetation counters the urban heat island effect and naturally cools the building.
