Darlington Terraces – Student Living
Gadigal Country / Darlington, NSW
Consisting of 38 attached terraces, the refurbishment of the Darlington Terraces represents a significant investment in student accommodation by the University of Sydney.
The project involves sensitive alterations to adapt the dilapidated Victorian terraces into contemporary, high amenity student accommodation, whilst respecting and enhancing the rich heritage of the precinct.
Adaptive Reuse for Student Living
Original character is preserved while interiors are redesigned for today’s students.
Employing a “kit-of-parts” strategy, SCA designed new interior material and colour palettes, new joinery, and wet areas for all new terraces.

“Using a combination of colour coding and annotation notes, the documentation package allows the contractor to efficiently understand, price, and carry out the internal refurbishment works to all rooms, through a concise set of drawings and schedules.”
Colour schemes for both the external facade and internal spaces reflect the native flora of the area.
Kitchens, wet areas and bedrooms are efficiently planned for modern student living.
