Darlinghurst Warehouse
2015 Gadi Country / Darlinghurst, NSW
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.
Heritage constraints required the street-front room to retain its existing ceiling height, and the façade was similarly protected. Together they 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.
