171 George Street

Erskineville NSW 2043

Beyond the picturesque facade of this Victorian Gothic style terrace lies a contemporary haven designed to bring in the light and air and embrace a lush backyard oasis. Rebuilt from the ground up by its architect owner, the c1890 home's urban sensibility takes a human-centric approach with a focus on sustainability between Erskineville village and South King Street's dining scene. Considered design pays homage to the past and injects a robust industrial vibe achieved through the extensive use of polished concrete, floor to ceiling glazing and an internal lightwell bringing northerly sunshine into the heart of the home. Raw yet refined, the home references the work of Japanese architect Tadao Ando with the dynamic way in which light transforms the interiors while timber reclaimed from an old school gym and exposed brickwork bring warmth and tactility to the interiors. Stroll up to the village heart and train station or around the corner to King Street's vegan eateries, retro furniture stores and cocktail lounges.
