A healthy and safe home where you will feel good, breathe easy, and live well.
Feel good.
Buildings are major contributors to global carbon emissions, so shrinking your personal carbon footprint by choosing to live in a Nocturne Passive House apartment is already something to feel good about. But there are also measured physiological and psychological benefits that will enhance your lifestyle and keep you feeling great.
-
Extra insulation, tight seals, and triple-pane windows keep the cozy in and the noise out.
-
A high-performance enclosure and HVAC system work together to maintain consistent indoor temperature, humidity, and air quality. Thermal comfort minimizes the stress on the body’s internal temperature regulation, which can lead to improved cardiovascular health, alertness, memory, and cognitive performance.
-
Nocturne apartments are filled with fresh air, natural light, and natural materials to create the biophillic effect we get from spending time in nature.
Breathe easy.
Every Nocturne apartment has been verified to meet the Indoor airPLUS specifications for healthy indoor air quality. Not only that, you can rest assured that you will have tiny and predictable utility bills because so little energy is needed to keep your space perfectly comfortable.
-
Nocturne apartment finishes not only look and feel amazing, they meet some of the strictest green building product certification standards to preserve the climate, ensure clean water, minimize waste, and protect human health.
-
Each apartment has its own fresh air system to prevent the build-up of indoor air contaminants and purify outdoor air as it enters your space. Heat and moisture are transferred between the outgoing and incoming air streams to efficiently maintain the ideal temperature and humidity level in the home, minimizing respiratory problems caused by dry air or the circulation of allergens.
-
Because you don’t need to know when a neighbor burns their toast, we have thoroughly air-sealed the unit separation walls to prevent the passage of odors and airborne viruses between adjacent dwellings.
Live well.
Inside and out, Nocturne is designed to bring out the best version of you, but the amazing location also plays a role. We feel fitter physically and mentally when we make movement a part of our daily routine, ideally outside to get the biggest boost from vitamin D and fresh air. Outdoor recreation is easily accessible from Nocturne’s front door.
-
Relax, read, or socialize surrounded by vegetation in an urban oasis.
-
Stroll or jog the tree-lined streets in the adjacent neighborhoods, from the Wedge to Wright Park, North Slope to Stadium, or the beautifully landscaped campus of the University of Puget Sound.
-
Miles of hiking and biking trails within pedaling distance can be found at Point Defiance, Swan Creek, Puget Creek, and Snake Lake parks.
