Feature staircase & attic create inner city delight

This 1920s cottage in Sydney’s Marrickville was purchased in a state of despair! But Bayside Built had the vision to design and construct an inner city delight.

The original pokey and dark layout had to make way for open spaces, sleek and uninterrupted lines and an abundance of natural light brought into all the right places.

The addition of a large attic accessed via custom-built concrete paddle stairs gives the feeling of generosity and grandeur.

It is home to a dreamy bedroom and lounge area, offering a clear view of the sky through the use of several roof windows.

“We love how this space is flooded with natural light and offers district views,” says the owner. “Our emphasis on design was to create a smart home that not only looks and feels beautiful but works!”

The renovated basement level now features a cellar and a large open plan living/kitchen area opening up to the rear yard.

Adding two off-street car spaces has ultimately transformed this house into a luxurious, modern home.

Bayside Built is a Sydney based construction and development company that specialises in high-end residential construction aimed at achieving a unique and contemporary product. Doug Carey, director and owner, combines the love of architecture, art, and Sydney‘s vibrant lifestyle when designing and building one of a kind homes.

Apartment life gets easier with King Living’s Metro range

When furnishing an apartment or inner city dwelling, it is critical to use functional furniture that can maximise space. However that being said, you don’t want to sacrifice style or comfort.

The new Metro range from King Living, is a clever furniture solution that is equally practical and luxurious. Two designs ideal for small spaces, the Jasper Metro and Delta Metro each provide a multi-functional sofa that makes no compromises.

The new Delta Metro is a great option, especially if extra storage is what you need. A compact and practical design, it enhances contemporary living by increasing storage, helping to keep smaller rooms neat and tidy. Available in a selection of configurations, which can be easily rearranged, Delta Metro can also include Smart Pockets, charging swivel tables and LED lamps — an alternative to having coffee tables and freestanding lamps stealing floor space. And for apartments without a guest room, Delta Metro easily converts to an overnight bed.

The Jasper Metro, a compact version of the award-winning King Living Jasper, can be reconfigured to suit any room size thanks to its clever modular design. Timber shelf arms in Congo, Walnut and Wenge are available in single or double height for stylish trimming and unique storage. And if guests decide to stay – optional brackets enable Jasper Metro to turn into a bed.

Both designs in the Metro range can be customised to suit the interior styling of any home, with a choice of premium fabrics and luxurious leathers. All sofas also have tailored removable covers for creating a whole new look.
