Glebe NSW 2037

While honouring a historic home's lovely bones, the interiors of this 1850s terrace were peeled back and recreated to mark a new style chapter that achieves a soul-soothing oasis of calm in the heart of Glebe. As you would expect with the home of an accomplished interior designer, the narrative of the house draws on the past while balancing aesthetic appeal with high-end functionality. A palette of oak, steel, glass and brick lends a bold industrial feel to the interiors with two living zones opening out to a landscaped courtyard while brass and marble accents unify the spaces. Conceived as the social heart of the home, the custom kitchen features 4m herringbone strut ceilings and terrazzo flooring delivering an urban loft feel with a unique glass roof and steel-framed doors and windows drawing in the light. Four bedrooms are spread over the upper levels while a separate studio suite is ideal as a home office or artist's retreat and has been designed to interact with the courtyard and create a huge indoor/outdoor entertaining space. With the buzz of village life around the corner, this unique city fringe retreat has been created as a dynamic space to live, work and play in a high-growth setting close to Blackwattle Bay Park and the upcoming Sydney Fish Market heralded as Sydney's most exciting new dining hub.
