Situated in the Award Winning 'The Commons', the first in a generation of sustainable apartments and prototype for Nightingale Housing, this 24 apartment development by Breathe Architecture may be in one of the country's most sustainable buildings. The ground-breaking development boasts a NatHERS (Nationwide Housing Energy Rating Scheme) rating of 7.5 stars and utilises rainwater harvesting that is used in irrigation.
This south-east facing, two bedroom apartment is arguably one of the best in the block with its views to West Street Park and Nightingale Architectural Village, the perfect urban Common. Featuring high exposed concrete ceilings, two double bedrooms with floor to ceiling BIRs, the master bedroom with a window seat, recycled wooden flooring throughout, a bathroom with polished plasterboard with bespoke concrete flooring, a seamless shower, and a window for natural light and airflow. A nook behind the front door is ideal for storage. The hallway is ideal as gallery space or for future bespoke cabinetry.
The long kitchen with generous storage, bespoke low emission cabinetry, one Fisher and Paykel dish draws, and Smeg 700 freestanding oven and concrete benchtops have generous storage and feature a hidden bookshelf.
Crossflow ventilation abounds creating a cooling breeze with the opening of south facing, famous Binq double glazed sliding door and second bedroom window opening to the north. In addition, ceiling fans in the living room and bedrooms create the perfect, temperate climate.
The private undercover balcony with abundant foliage creates a private inner-city oasis, the ideal alfresco setting for entertaining.
Security is key with a security intercom to the apartment and secure entry to expansive bike storage and storage cage area.
Sustainable housing is great for the environment but also the hip pocket nerve with long term reduced energy costs with an embedded green electricity network.
The passive design does not require air-conditioning hence reducing electricity bills and highly efficient shared hydronic heating and hot water systems reduce power bills.
Other savings are super-fast, the internet service is embedded in The Commons, meaning usage is 'uncontested' and is only shared with the occupants of the building, access to car-sharing, and public transport with the train and tram a short walk away which lessens the need for a private car space.
The breathtaking community two part rooftop garden with 360 views provides a strong sense of community where residents meet to nurture the north facing community vegetable garden and harvest vegetables for their own use, not to mention The Commons' own beehive! The communal laundry with Fisher and Paykel washing machines and eco-friendly detergents is also included and creates a friendly meeting place, and also features ample natural solar for clothes drying. The south city view side includes a community dining table and multiple seating areas.
With cafes below both featured In Broadsheet, the Brunswick Market also in Florence Street and Sydney Road Cafes, restaurants and shopping moments away, as well as the 19 Tram to the Medical and University Precinct this property, combines sustainable living with the ideal urban village.
