Glebe House Apartments & Houses in Australia reveal this Glebe House in Sydney, Australia. A studio & residence shop-top-housing project is located on a small back lane in a Heritage Conservation Area in Sydney’s inner-west bustling suburb of Glebe.
The new building makes maximum use of the available small site of only 92sqm by extending to all boundaries and pushing the private open space up to the top.
The house draws inspiration from previous centuries european architecture translated into modern details. Internal split levels allow the exterior facade to be broken up and stepped to create a small scale appearance suitable for its location.
The zinc roofing is wrapped around as standing-seam wall cladding to the upper floors, while the bottom level dark painted brick grounds the building in its setting.

A 4 meter high ceiling and minimalist material palette of brick and off-form concrete creates an unobtrusive space waiting to be occupied by a creative person.
An all concrete staircase leads up to the residential part of the building. The core concrete wall starting at the studio, continues through the bedroom level and finishes in the top floor living room.
The material palette that was chosen for the interior consists of concrete, timber, steel and glass, assigning each material its well determined place to provide a modern and uncluttered aesthetic.
