Residential Builds in
Sydney's Inner West

It’s almost impossible to sum up what the Inner West means to Sydney’s culture, arts, and architecture scene – so we won’t try.

For those that know – Sydney’s Inner West boasts some of the most eclectic and interesting residential architecture in Sydney. From the expansive historic homes along Annandale’s Johnstone Street, to the Sandstone workers Cottages of Balmain and Rozelle, and the Victorian terraces that dot the backstreets of Newtown, Enmore, and Summer Hill.

For us, Sydney’s Inner West presents an exciting opportunity to preserve and honour heritage, whilst adding layers of functionality and liveability to every project. We work with residential and developer clients across Sydney’s inner west on a broad range of projects ranging from historic home renovations and redesigns, through to new developments including dual occupancies and apartments.

As the Inner West continues to grow and evolve, we see it as our responsibility to preserve the history that underpins these iconic suburbs, while also preserving and upgrading spaces for current and future functionality.
