9 Glebe Street, Glebe NSW
Formerly a warehouse and home to Brightside Studios, this architecturally converted residence is now the home and studio of artist Rebecca Pierce.
Set over three levels, the home is character-filled and unique, with the ground floor comprising the open-plan living zone, featuring polished concrete floors, exposed brick walls, and soaring skylit ceilings.
The first floor is home to two bedrooms, a studio/family room, and an attic that offers a lofty retreat with skyline views.

2/2 Kings Lane, Darlinghurst, NSW
This renovated dual-level apartment is in the Oxford Foundry, a short stroll from Hyde Park and the CBD. With a prized northerly aspect, the apartment offers 180-degree views from Sydney’s skyline to Potts Point.
The redesign has an industrial style, with dark tones, and an open-plan living area that creates a sense of volume and flow.
The indoor-outdoor living is another highlight. Doors open to the pergola with an automated roof and awning, and the building features a city-view lap pool.

This freestanding home sits on a tree-lined, tightly held street in Darling Point.
Low-maintenance and private, the two-storey residence features spacious open-plan dining and lounge, a separate kitchen and dining room on the ground floor, and all four bedrooms on the first floor. Some standouts of the home include the manicured courtyard with a water feature and a private, sheltered pergola, accessible via French doors.
The property is a short walk to McKell Park, Double Bay village, schools, ferries and public transport.
