Looking from the street at this rare and intact streetscape, an example of early urban development in Balmain, it may appear that nothing has changed. Go inside, however, and it is apparent that an accumulation of unsympathetic additions had masked the natural beauty of the Sydney Sandstone structure in this 1850s terrace house.

102 The Mill in Balmain, Australia by Carter Williamson Architects

Thursday, August 2nd, 2018

Article source: Carter Williamson Architects

102 The Mill is an example of considering existing buildings as an opportunity that can result in the impetus for designing generous, robust, and character filled home.

The plan is divided into three areas, from east to west: vertical circulation, a service wall and place for living which is freed from the plan to look outwards. This design strategy allows the most used spaces to experience maximum amenities of light, air and openness through the north, west and south facade.
