Warmington House is the transformation of an existing, characterful cottage on a steeply sloping site in Brisbane’s Inner suburb of Paddington. Seeking to respect the cottage but to elevate it into an executive level family home, we carefully balanced the existing cottage over expansive open plan contemporary living spaces.

Owen and Tom, a young professional couple, engaged Sandbox Studio to transform their rundown Victorian terrace in Paddington, Sydney, into a modern home, while restoring its heritage character. We designed a minimalist alteration and addition, increasing the space and light without overdeveloping the site.
