23 Barr Street, Balmain, NSW 2041

Art meets architecture in this warehouse wonder in a tucked-away pocket of Balmain with a sunny pool making a splash on the rooftop. This is no ordinary warehouse but the home, studio and gallery of internationally acclaimed Australian artist Sandra Leveson for over 40 years. Conceived as a hidden creative world at the end of a wide parkside cul-de-sac, Leveson converted the sprawling warehouse into the ultimate live/work/play space with epic proportions, incredible natural light and multiple living zones interspersed over two levels and punctuated by mezzanines and breakout spaces. The 29m fronted warehouse is remarkably vast and very cool with a striking sawtooth roofline creating a dramatic double-volume framework with vaulted ceilings that reach up to the sky and steel-framed windows flooding the interiors in northerly sunshine and delivering the perfect space to create and showcase her art. This is a true one-of-a-kind with an adaptable layout that's open to interpretation with 535sqm approx internally and double parking including a lock-up garage with 3m clearance and a loading bay.
