Darlinghurst Terrace

2018

The ultimate pursuit of balance & simplicity


Filled with minimalist design, a former run down three-storey terrace in Darlinghurst is pared back to its original features, and injected with contemporary details.

Although a significant intervention was needed to make the terrace habitable, particular care was taken to retain the original character of the building. The approach was to create a more functional floor plan, and pull natural light through the space.

We focused on the interplay of texture, combining hard and soft finishes, contrasting matt and gloss surfaces, and light and dark to create intrigue and depth in an otherwise monochromatic palette. These quiet juxtapositions are an exercise in restraint, and the ultimate pursuit of balance and simplicity.
