A Sydney terrace makes a case for living more with less

Amidst Sydney’s historic buildings, 19 Waterloo Street is a quirky gem designed by SJB Director Adam Haddow, as his own home. This 69-square-metre micro mixed-use development maximises space with a clever use of light, ventilation and reclaimed materials. It effortlessly blends past and present to create a vibrant, sustainable home.

The small terrace feels big thanks to variations in the ceiling height, soaring up to 3.6 metres in the living zones to enhance the sense of space. Reclaimed brick creates a playful façade, while strategic windows and mirrors cheat space, filling the home with light and vitality.

The kitchen is compact but powerful. Despite the low ceiling, the materials are deliberately reflective and light – an arched window is met with mirrored cupboards, skirting boards and stainless steel. The CombairSteamer V6000 blends effortlessly with its mirror-glass finish, while the CookTop V4000 1402 and DSMS modular worktop extractor sit flush along the minimal benchtop.

“Could we show how living with less could result in more – more outlook, garden, amenity, ventilation and joy?” Adam Haddow, Director, SJB
