Contemporary Home Renovation in Balmain

Case Study

Worker’s Cottage Transformed by a Light-Filled Contemporary Renovation.

This project involved the transformation of a single storey residence into a three-storey luxury home in Balmain. The natural fall of the site to the rear enabled an extension incorporating two living areas, new kitchen, bedrooms and master suite.

From the Architect

“The original small workers cottage has been reconceived as a contemporary tower. The vertical light shaft above the stair offers playful engagement with the space across the day, drawing natural light down throughout all three levels of the contemporary extension.”
