Just a two minute walk from a train station and a stone’s throw away from Sydney CBD, this five-storey apartment in the inner west celebrates Australia’s built heritage through the preservation of an existing Victorian shopfront.

The building features five residences sensitively set back from the store, retaining the quaint scale and character of the street. The selection of studio and 1 bedroom apartments open up onto generous leafy balconies which allow one to soak up the energy of this contemporary and multicultural community. Despite the narrow site, each apartment offers ample room and storage for the modern Australian.

Our Lab has responsible for the design and documentation of this property, ensuring that Sydney’s heritage can be responsibly protected, reappropriated, and honoured.
