A warehouse in the Surry Hills district of Sidney, Australia was recently renovated and given a truly remarkable design by Allen Jack+Cottier Architects. In the typical loft style, the rooms are open and spacious. Retro look, industrial style and modernity are cleverly mixed to achieve a unique living atmosphere.
Mix retro look, industrial style and modernity in the living room
The typical oneIndustrialThe style of the original building has been retained and is easily recognizable through the solid steel beams and authentic clinker brick walls. Retro furniture and wooden accents create a cozy atmosphere, while some of the furnishings are very modern. The house has a partially covered terrace and a small inner garden under the roof glazing. In the basement there are leisure rooms - bar, separate smoking cabin, indoor pool and steam room.

In the center of the living room on the upper floor is a huge cocoon 'mancave', which is actually the bedroom. Organic shapes characterize the white shape made of carbon fibers and make it look like a capsule tied to the ceiling. Inside there is the master bedroom with bathroom in a minimalist style, designed exclusively in white.
