Glebe House is an architectural gem in Sydney's vibrant inner-west suburb. Nestled in a small back lane within a Heritage Conservation Area, this remarkable residence optimises its compact 92 sqm site by extending to all boundaries and placing the private open space on the upper levels.
Inspired by centuries of European architecture, Glebe House merges historical elegance with modern details. Upper floors feature zinc roofing that seamlessly transforms into standing-seam wall cladding. The lower level boasts dark-painted brick, grounding the structure in its surroundings.
At street level, a self-contained studio with a kitchen and bathroom offers flexible living options. A concrete staircase leads to the residential area, where a well-curated material palette of concrete, timber, steel, and glass creates a modern and uncluttered interior.
Despite window placement restrictions, operable skylights in the bedroom and bathroom invite natural light and ventilation. Highbalustrades on the roof terrace ensure privacy while offering stunning views of treetops and the city skyline.
Glebe House surprises with its spaciousness and abundant interior light. With its meticulous attention to detail and the transformative power of design, Glebe House redefines luxury within a compact footprint.
