An historic 1930s electrical substation in the middle of a major Australian city has been given a makeover and transformed into a magnificently contemporary home.
Tucked down an alleyway in the central Sydney suburb of Darlinghurst, the vine-crept, red-brick building hides inside it an industrial-chic style home across four levels.
The high concrete ceilings, abstract brickwork, and black steel details pay homage to the building’s roots while the marble textures, soft wood floors, mood lighting and abundance of natural light give it a modern homely feel.
