The Nightcliff Breezeblock Flats on Progress Rd are a notable example of mid-century residential design in Darwin that uses breezeblocks as both functional and expressive elements.
Situated in the Nightcliff suburb, these flats incorporate breezeblock screens to promote natural ventilation and shading, responding directly to the tropical climate while articulating a distinctive façade pattern.
The use of breezeblocks in this way reflects a practical adaptation of modernist design principles to local environmental conditions, as well as an interest in creating lively architectural texture in multi-unit
housing.
