Overview

A joyful Balmain home with a garden studio

Bathed in northerly sunshine at the top end of a quiet one-way street, this beautifully reimagined c1890 semi captures the very essence of Balmain village living. Refreshingly unique and full of character, the home radiates a happy, upbeat energy with pops of colour and a strong focus on light, air and the flexibility of space. Architect-renovated with a creative approach to the classic semi-detached form, the design celebrates an honest expression of materials while embracing a lush edible garden that becomes part of everyday life. A striking terrazzo-tiled terrace sets a welcoming tone, while sliding walls dissolve the line between indoors and out, creating a superb environment for entertaining with an alfresco deck and bistro-style kitchen at the heart of the home. Every room enjoys a tranquil outlook, from curated garden vistas to skyline views from the master balcony, while a separate garden studio with Balinese-inspired alfresco bathroom adds a unique retreat-like dimension.
