2a Gilpin Street
Camperdown

A remarkable transformation by Carter Williamson Architects, this 288sqm 2 level warehouse building has been reimagined as a warm, highly considered family home where architecture, garden and everyday living are seamlessly intertwined. Almost a third of the original roof and floorplan was removed to create a private landscaped courtyard at the centre of the home, drawing natural light, air and greenery deep into the two-level interior. The courtyard flows directly into the living, dining and kitchen space beneath a dramatic double-height void, with its sculptural elements repeated in the steel-framed windows and doorways. Original warehouse elements including exposed timber beams and the building's industrial structure are celebrated, softened by a rich palette of Breccia Rosso marble, muted green, warm ochre, timber and aged brass. A rare offering for Inner Sydney where every space has been carefully resolved, and the connection to its garden is as important as the architecture itself.
