Located in Canberra’s city centre overlooking Lake Burly Griffin, Parliament House and some of Australia’s iconic institutions, the Nishi buildings at NewActon reinforce strong social, cultural, and economic values for Canberra and are a national and international prototype model in the “making” of sustainable cities in the 21st century.
Whether to relax in the living area and look out over your terrace or wintergarden to the views beyond or retreat to your bedroom to read, all spaces in this attentively detailed apartment respect the principles of Nishi’s design: Cross flow ventilation afforded through front and rear outlooks ensures coolness in summer and through floor heat retention, warmth in winter.
Through the general energy conservation qualities of building materials and energy saving appliances and fittings—you can really enjoy living on your own or entertaining friends.
Designed by world-noted architects, Suppose Design Office (Tokyo) and Fender Katsalidis Architects (Melbourne) in conjunction with engineering consultant group, ARUP (London)—no detail has been overlooked in any of Nishi’s apartments.
NISHI was conceived as a total response to this global groundswell pressure for sustainable environmental change. Accordingly, every dimension of NISHI has been rethought to express a more flexible, adaptive approach to living comfortably and securely. The building achieves a 8 stars on the NatHers rating scale.

The Area
Canberra, the capitol city of Australia has a population of over 345,000 and is Australia's largest inland city and the eighth-largest city overall. The city is located at the northern end of the Australian Capital Territory, 280 km south-west of Sydney.
NewActon is in a central business district location yet is quietly removed from the blander city landscape. It is already recognised as Canberra’s cultural hub where art and lifestyle abound from weekday to weekend and is almost synonymous with innovation, culture and the arts.
Residents in NewActon South and East as well as visitors have come to appreciate the ever changing roles of art, contemporary craft and design in many of Nishi’s public spaces and privately owned living areas.
NewActon is also being seen as the setting for those who recognise a collective responsibility to reduce the impact we have on our planet – and start to change the way we live. Along with other innovative retail and commercial tenants, NewActon has become the chosen location for the Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency’s new headquarters.
