What We Love
Set inside a quiet Darlinghurst laneway, this award-winning three-storey residence carries an original facade, with its corbelled brickwork, angled roofline clad in glazed tiles, and creeping ivy. Recognised with multiple architectural awards for its adaptive reuse design, the home blends industrial heritage with refined contemporary living. Entry is through oversized steel doors at ground level, where timber stairs, painted brick walls, and warm timber floors set the tone for everything above.
The main living level opens into a double-height volume anchored by exposed concrete ceilings, blackened steel columns, and white-painted brick walls that run the full height of the space. A wall-length kitchen in matte white cabinetry is finished with a marble splashback and benchtop, under-cabinet lighting, gas cooktop, and integrated oven. The open kitchen flows directly into the dining area and a generous living room furnished with timber floors, a velvet lounge, and an Eames-style lounger. Clerestory windows filter light from above, while a dramatic perforated-brick window feature frames the living zone and brings diffused natural light through from the courtyard beyond. The staircase connecting all levels is a feature in itself: open steel mesh treads within a black steel frame, offering clear views down to the lower spaces through perforated steel screening.
The courtyard is private, sheltered, and designed for outdoor living. A timber-framed dip pool with blue mosaic tiling sits centre stage, surrounded by concrete paving, wicker lounge seating, and boundary walls offering a dedicated private space for relaxation and entertaining. It's an unexpected pocket of green canopy and city skyline in equal measure.
The three bedrooms are spread across the building's upper storeys. The master bedroom is positioned off the first residential landing and opens through full-height sliding doors to a private outlook framed by perforated brick screening. It includes a king bed, a generous walk-in robe, pendant lighting, and hardwood timber flooring. The second bedroom is a well-proportioned queen room with a built-in robe and full-height sliding doors opening to the same sculptural brick screen feature, continuing the warm, consistent material palette. The third bedroom, configured as a double, doubles as a study with a dedicated desk. Two bathrooms service the home, both finished in Carrara marble vanities with matte black tapware, penny-round floor tiles, rain showerheads, floor-to-ceiling glazed shower screens, and heated floors. The second bathroom on the upper floor also features a heated towel rack. A dedicated laundry room adds everyday convenience.
Located on Printers Lane, one of Darlinghurst's quieter historic laneways, the property is a ten-minute walk from Oxford Street, Kings Cross, and the dining corridor of Victoria Street. Sydney CBD is under twenty minutes by bus, with frequent services on nearby William Street and Oxford Street.
