Why This Architect’s Own Apartment Feels More Like a Home



What does housing look like in the face of a climate crisis? At Skye House, the answer is clear—right-sized, high-performing, and people-focused. Sitting within Nightingale Village in Brunswick, this project by Breathe sets a new standard for sustainable urban living.

Designed with a philosophy of ‘build less, give more’, the building is fully electrified and powered by rooftop solar. Apartments balance functionality with warmth—recycled hardwood floors, timber joinery and a palette of raw, natural materials create a home that feels both grounded and adaptable.

More than just an apartment, Skye House is a statement on the future of housing—one where comfort, sustainability, and the feeling of home exist in harmony.
