A Sydney terrace makes a case for living more with less

Modern kitchen with stainless steel surfaces and wooden ceiling, illuminated by a large window.

Amidst Sydney’s historic buildings, 19 Waterloo Street is a quirky gem designed by SJB Director Adam Haddow, as his own home. This 69-square-metre micro-mixed-use development maximises space with a clever use of light, ventilation and reclaimed materials. It effortlessly blends past and present to create a vibrant, sustainable home.

Modern building with geometric shapes and natural materials

The small terrace feels big thanks to changes in ceiling heights, soaring up to 3.6-metres in the living zones to enhance the sense of space. Reclaimed bricks create a playful façade, while strategic windows and mirrors cheat space, filling the home with light and vitality.

Modern kitchen with stainless steel surfaces, built-in oven and minimalist decoration

The kitchen is compact but powerful. Despite the low ceiling, materiality is deliberately reflective and light – an arched window is met with mirrored cupboards, skirting boards and stainless-steel. The CombairSteamer V6000 blends effortlessly with its mirror-glass finish, while the CookTop V4000 1402 and DSMS modular worktop extractor sit flush along the minimal benchtop.

“Could we show how living with less could result in more – more outlook, garden, amenity, ventilation and joy?” Adam Haddow, director, SJB
