Darlinghurst Warehouse
2015 Gadi Country / Darlinghurst, NSW
Dramatic conversion of industrial spaces.
Heritage constraints required the street-front room to retain its existing ceiling height, and the façade was similarly protected.
Transforming a Garage into a Sunlit Urban Home
Once a commercial garage, now a flexible dwelling filled with light.
Intelligent planning to maximise sun penetration and flexible living was required for this very long, narrow site in the heart of Darlinghurst. It was previously a commercial garage bounded by terrace houses on all sides.

“Together, the street-front room and façade, conceal from the street the drama of the converted spaces beyond. Visitors are launched into a tall, light-filled living space, lit by an internal courtyard that brings a glimpse of green into a very urban context.”
