A housing community is the latest reincarnation of this one hundred and ten-year-old structure. Built by J.

It is designed as a stimulus to restore the balance in the built and green spaces blurring the boundaries between the two.

The clients – a property industry professional and interior designer who live here with their 2 adult children & partners and a young daughter – saw it as an opportunity to embrace inner city living &challenge the traditional ‘quarter acre block’ housing typology in Australia that they had come from to provide a flexible platform to house a multi-generational household and commercial use on the ground level.
