Little Paddo Attic Conversion
Design: Anton Kouzmin Architecture
Location: Paddington, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

The brief for Little Paddo was simple; to transform a stuffy old attic conversion into a well ventilated, light filled, flexible studio that accommodated a work-from-home study, a place to play and compose music, ample storage, a fold-out bed and a laundry.

The project in Paddington, NSW was an exercise in peeling away and pulling apart the old interior to increase the perception of space. A swiss army knife of various joinery components were then added to accommodate a range of overlapping functions; all within the heritage fabric of a Paddington terrace house.
A solar array was installed in tandem with new skylights and roof ventilators. The result is a balanced, wonderfully radiant space that helps ventilate the house below and provides an inspiring environment to work from home.
