Inside a converted nuts and bolts factory in Leichhardt, Sydney with a very cool modern design

Behind the art deco-style façade of a unique brick building that was once an old nuts and bolts factory hides an incredible one-of-a-kind  home with a striking design.  

The trendy home is fittingly tucked away down a narrow lane way in Sydney’s happening inner-west in Leichhardt five kilometres from the city centre.

A standout feature of the transformed factory is the internal glass atrium in the middle of the home which fills the space with natural light and allows guests to look up at the sky from the comfort of their beds.

The heart of the home is the open family room with a sleek black kitchen, lounge and dining space all under a soaring louvred ceiling with exposed steel beams which act as a homage to the 1930s-built warehouse’s roots. 

Timber-framed doors connect the space to the sunny atrium which is illuminated by natural light through a glass ceiling and has chic polished concrete flooring as well as a rustic copper-pipe shower. 

Black wood adorns the kitchen which features a brick island bench, bar fridge and a metal benchtops and sits beneath a mezzanine housing a red-carpeted rumpus room and alfresco roof terrace.

Under the mezzanine lies a home studio-slash-office space with a built-in bar, powder room and a covered courtyard with a leafy green wall while a stretching hallway leads to the stunning shared bathroom and two bedrooms sit on the other side of the atrium. 

The spectacular home’s exposed brick walls continue into the huge bathroom which has a luxurious freestanding bathtub under ceiling windows. 

Looking over the atrium is the double-sized master bedroom that back onto an enormous lofted walk-in wardrobe and an integrated ensuite.

Architect Petar Danicic currently lives in the home with his wife Anna Alexiou and their two daughters after buying it in 2007 when he planned to divide it into two dwellings.

Speaking with Domain, Petar said a ‘few obstacles’ with the local council and a move to Melbourne saw the pair lease the building as a commercial space for seven years before they returned to Sydney when Anna feel pregnant with twins in 2014.

They decided to converted the space into a family home that ‘captured the imagination’ of Sydney’s ‘very polished and quite refined’ renovations and refurbishments. 

The family of four have enjoyed living in the home for the past decade where Petar said his girls would kick a ball and throw paper aeroplanes while they’ve hosted functions with 20 or 30 friends and family.

Petar and Anna have decided to move on from the home they have loved and it is now on the market set to go to auction with an asking price for $4million 

‘In the morning you get this really nice filtering of the easterly aspect and then throughout the day, there’s daylight permeating through the central living part of the dwelling,’ he said. 

‘We very often sleep with the roof open and look at the stars. It provides a really nice connection with nature.’

Listing agent Chris Nunn of Bresic Whitney told FEMAIL the converted factory is a rarity and ‘one of the most impressive’ Inner West warehouses he’s seen.

Chris said the home has generated a good bit of interest since hitting the market and there are several buyers ‘doing their due diligence’ ahead of its auction on March 4

‘There are not too many properties, and especially not too many warehouses, where you can lie on your bed and look up at the sky through the internal atrium,’ he said.  

‘Some years you’ll only get one of two come up of this sort of scale and size but often the execution isn’t there whereas in the case of 33 Whites Creek Lane, it doesn’t take long to realise that it’s been very masterfully designed and put together which makes this one standout.’
