The Commons, by Breathe Architecture, is situated in East Brunswick, six kilometers from Melbourne’s CBD. Clad in a chevron-patterned façade, the building is a raw and captivating piece of architecture. It’s also the prototype for a new development model, called Nightingale, which aims to transform the way that apartment buildings are financed and designed in Australia. It sits in stark contrast to current housing models, which remain unaffordable and conservative in their ambitions.

“呼吸建筑”下议院位于东不伦瑞克，距离墨尔本的CBD 6公里。这座建筑被雪佛龙图案的外墙所覆盖，是一座原始而迷人的建筑。这也是一种名为Nightingale的新开发模式的原型，旨在改变澳大利亚公寓楼的融资和设计方式。这与目前的住房模式形成了鲜明的对比，目前的住房模式仍然难以承受，而且雄心勃勃。

The Commons is a mixed-use building made up of twenty-four apartments. There are shops, studio spaces and a lobby on the ground floor, while shared facilities, such as vegetable gardens and a laundry, are on the roof. These features help foster a way of living that is communal and convivial, where residents know their neighbors and partake in shared life.

公地是一座由二十四套公寓组成的混合用途的建筑.在一楼有商店、工作室和大厅，而共用的设施，如菜园和洗衣房，都在屋顶上。这些特点有助于培养一种共同和愉快的生活方式，在这种生活方式中，居民了解他们的邻居，并分享共同的生活。

Unlike many Australian housing models, which prioritize financial yield above all else, Breathe Architecture’s The Commons is modeled on a ‘triple bottom line’ of socially, financially and environmentally sustainable development.

与许多优先考虑财务收益的澳大利亚住房模型不同，BreatheArchitecturesTheCommons基于“三重底线的社会、财务和环境可持续发展”。

As a consequence, the building rejects conventional add-ons such as air-conditioning, second bathrooms and basement car-parking. Real estate agents, marketing teams and display suites are also removed from the process. Instead, funds are allocated to additional living space, generous ceiling heights, double-glazing and high-quality materiality, all of which are often neglected in local apartments.

因此，该建筑拒绝了传统的附加设施，如空调、第二浴室和地下室停车场。房地产经纪人、营销团队和展示套间也被从这一过程中移除。相反，资金被分配到额外的居住空间，慷慨的天花板高度，双层玻璃和高质量的物质，所有这些在当地的公寓中经常被忽视。

Inside The Commons, the apartments are arranged in long, thin bars around a central circulation core. This linear layout avoids the compressed feel of conventional apartments and, although inefficient, reflects the spatial charms of traditional terrace houses.

在下院内，公寓以细长的方式布置在中央循环核心周围。这种线形布局避免了传统公寓的压缩感，尽管效率低下，但反映了传统的露台房的空间魅力。

The material palette employed is dark and textured, with rough concrete, recycled timber floors and black joinery. Downstairs, bricks from the old on-site bakery have been re-arranged in an entry patchwork that is filled with character.

采用的材料调色板是黑暗和纹理，与粗糙的混凝土，再生木材地板和黑色细木工。在楼下，旧的现场面包店的砖块被重新排列成一个充满个性的入口拼贴。

Across The Commons, fittings and fixtures are reductive and direct, favoring simplicity over ornamentation. Bare light bulbs are mounted into steel angles, and pipework is painted and left exposed. There is a noticeable absence of plasterboard, tiles and chrome plating, all of which were deemed too energy intensive. This rich palette contrasts current apartment stock, which is often unwilling to invest in quality materials or maintenance.

在公地，配件和固定装置是简约和直接的，有利于简单，而不是装饰。裸露的灯泡安装在钢的角度，管道的油漆和留下暴露。有一个明显的没有石膏板，瓷砖和镀铬，所有这些都被认为太能源密集。这种丰富的调色板与目前的公寓库存形成鲜明对比，后者往往不愿投资于高质量的材料或维修。

As a building, The Commons is a delightful piece of architecture. Yet, as a precedent, it also aims to improve the status quo of apartments in Australia. The Commons was the prototype for Nightingale, a replicable, designer-led development framework set up by Breathe Architecture. As at The Commons, the model pays equal attention to sustainability, livability and financial return.

作为一座建筑，公社是一个令人愉快的建筑。然而，作为先决条件，它还旨在改善澳大利亚公寓的现状。Commons是Nightingale的原型，Nightingale是由BreatheArchitecture建立的可复制、设计师主导的开发框架。与Commons一样，该模式同样关注可持续性、宜居性和财务回报。

In essence, Nightingale encourages architects to team up with ethical investors, many of whom are future residents, to find potential development sites. The model favors the collaborative and consultative, giving both architects and future owner-occupiers greater agency. There are several Nightingale projects in progress and, with a waiting list of residents, it’s clearly both relevant and appealing.

本质上，南丁格尔鼓励建筑师与道德投资者合作，其中许多人是未来的居民，寻找潜在的开发地点。这种模式有利于合作和协商，给建筑师和未来的业主-占用者更大的代理。有几个南丁格尔项目正在进行中，有一个等待的居民名单，这显然是相关的和有吸引力的。

The Commons is a framework for tighter urban communities, and a piece of design activism that refuses to let developers take control. It advocates for better quality housing, and empowers architects to become leaders in the creation of new developments. Source Arcspace

公地是更紧密的城市社区的框架，也是一种拒绝让开发商控制的设计激进主义。它提倡更好的住房质量，并授权建筑师成为创建新开发项目的领导者。源空间
