PADDINGTON
premise
Background
​
This project requires designing the new interior of an existing two storey house located within the inner city of Sydney. The stipulation was to produce a documentation set that outlines the construction techniques surrounding the kitchen, bathroom, staircase and window system details.
​
Brief Requirements
​
Transforming this existing small residential house into a double storey building that facilitates and open space living plan whilst keeping the historical heritage of the building within the design.

​
Concept
Keeping to a simple yet minimalist contemporary design scheme its structure in the Paddington premise was shaped through the use of length and narrow halls, and opening up space was a key element in redesign this floor plan through height and natural lighting, whilst retaining the historic values of the premise.
​
In opening the space the attic became an essential room allocated for privacy whilst drawing upon city views. The upper level was restructured to create a luxurious space for the master bedroom accentuating the entire floor by making the dominant part as the ensuite, whilst retaining the premise balconies and redesign them to fit a simpler and comfortable space within the master bedroom. The ground floor emphasises the kitchen and living by utilising the staircase as a central design element, whilst also capturing the inner essence of a home by placing a second bedroom. The lower half of the premise was more of a communal gathering space upon clientele wants & needs.
