A simple renovation to the ground floor of an existing terrace in Erskineville in Sydney’s Inner West.
A full-length low datum line is introduced, creating a sense of weight to the interior. Spotted gum timber flooring, in combination with indigo blue below the datum line, creates a rich and dark refuge space from which the eye is drawn to the light and landscaping at each frontage.

A marble shelf creates a ledge for the informal display of objects and artwork, binding and stretching the space horizontally, making the interior feel larger than it is.
Walls and ceilings are white above the datum line. The visual contrast and low proportions centres the eye at the datum line, increasing the perceived height of the room.
The open kitchen shelves provide permanent storage while remaining ‘light’ in appearance. The industrial and raw materials of galvanised steel, birch ply, and sheet metal combine for a moment of unexpected beauty and handle the rigours of daily life.
