Paddington 10a Watson Street

Paddington’s Coolest HeritageConversion, A Reinvented 19th Century Stables With Rooftop Terrace.

The critically acclaimed transformation of a historic 19th century stable warehouse by Casey Brown Architecture is a masterclass in blending heritage foundations with bold contemporary design. Tucked away in a boutique cul-de-sac just off the buzz of cosmopolitan Oxford Street, the original facade remains untouched, with its stable doors carefully restored to reveal nothing of the remarkable home within. It is an honest and considered intervention that respects the past while reimagining the old warehouse for modern life. Raw yet refined, the interiors channel a sleek industrial aesthetic, with an open steel mesh staircase slicing through the levels and a unique layout that creates a dynamic environment to live, work and play. The hero of the home is the rooftop terrace, where oversized glass-panelled garage-style doors frame sweeping views across heritage rooftops. With internal access to garaging and a world of art, fashion and dining at the doorstep, this one-of-a-kind residence offers rare sanctuary in a buzzing urban setting just 450m from the gates to Centennial Park.
