This warehouse conversion is in one of Sydney?s most recognised heritage buildings, the distinctive Edwards & Co. building. The building is wedged into a narrow street in the fast regenerating inner-city suburb of Surry Hills.  Formerly a tea factory in the 1920s and more recently an advertising agency, the brief was to breathe new life into the 300-square-metre space as a private residence that spans two levels.  Level 6 with the iconic arched windows was completely gutted and the former caretaker?s office was demolished and replaced with a guest retreat on the roof, located behind the emblazoned parapet.
