Surrey 112 | Smart Design Studio

Surrey 112 has transformed a long-neglected site in Darlinghurst into a timeless four-bedroom home and studio.

The original rooms at the front of the house are restored to their former glory. They are contrasted against a contemporary series of voluptuous, sculpted interiors in the rear addition to the main house and studio on the rear lane.

Internal volumes are created by four siloes in a quatrefoil arrangement, sculpted and lined with plasterboard and finished in off-white hard-set render. 

Interior finishes are carefully considered with oiled American oak used for joinery doors, furniture and the lining to the spiral stair.  Also lined in timber, the attic and upper bedrooms carve space within the retained pitched roof form. Polished nickel hardware brings a soft delicacy to the heritage rooms whilst a more subdued palette of brushed nickel and bead blasted stainless are introduced in the contemporary spaces.
