M+M Architects have reimagined this classic Balmain terrace, blending Victorian-era charm with contemporary comfort and functionality.
Upstairs, a reconfigured open-plan layout connects the living, dining, and kitchen areas, flowing onto an expanded balcony – perfect for entertaining and soaking up the sun.
Downstairs, the main bedroom and bathroom were relocated to optimise space. This allowed for a new study nook and improved circulation through a repositioned staircase. The lower ground floor now serves as a flexible cinema room or guest suite, complete with a bar, laundry, and bathroom.
A level rear courtyard opens off the lower ground, ideal for outdoor dining and relaxation. Rear lane access with a roller door adds convenient off-street parking.
This renovation preserves the home’s historic character while delivering smart, modern updates for easy, elegant inner-city living.
