1 room house of 196m² in Balmain

This thoughtfully designed conversion was originally conceived as ‘The Small is Beautiful House’ - a nod to a series of seminal essays from 1973 by economist E. F. Schumacher, challenging the notion that bigger is always better. Built with a focus on sustainability and liveability, the home balances clever use of space with natural light, premium insulation, and timeless materials. Featuring cedar windows, bamboo floors, double glazing and custom-built cabinetry providing plenty of storage, every detail reflects care for both comfort and the wider environment. With skylights having full block-out blinds, with both remote control and rain sensors, the result is a warm, efficient home where function and beauty intersect. Footsteps to Darling Street, White Bay, Ewenton Park, while so close to the CBD.
