The heritage precinct of Longs Lane is a cluster of historical shops, boutique accomodation and houses in The Rocks dating from 1855-1914, including the Butchers Shop built in 1881-1882. The interior redesign by Sibella Court was informed by the building's various uses from the 1880s, notably a shoppe and dwelling rented by German butcher Kellas Watson.
Utilitarian materials of zinc, leather, burlap and tallow wood one may have found in a butchers of that time period are woven amongst a palette inspired by the endemic Sydney landscape & objects common to the 1800s era; various colours from Sibella's paint collection Palimpsest are used throughout the rooms and hallways, an ode to forests of pink Angophora, Sydney peppermint, acacia and shades of ochre.
Design cues for lighting and furnishings are taken from typical fittings found in 19th century homes layered with contemporary finishes. Counterweight lights, picture rods and sisal stair runners sit comfortably amongst mixed material hardware and soft fabric lanterns by The Society inc, with linen curtains and painted canvas softening the executive office spaces.

We whizzed down the back streets of Seminyak and the smaller the streets became the deeper we time travel into a Bali of a time gone-by...
This year, my dear friend and photographer; William Meppem and I captured the essence of this perfect boathouse, located in Newport, Sydney. The ideal spot to drop your anchor this holiday season.
I have dreamt of a boathouse escape for many years and all of my dreams have come true in a recent visit to a space that captures it all, The Salty Dog. This miniature house provides all of the nuances of boat building within its own minute space. Situated amongst the quintessential Sydney landscape of emerald green water and unique sandstone structures - surrounded by angophora gums.
With the extension of the dinghy & direct entrance to the water, this house evolves into an explorative landscape that extends beyond its petite footprint. If I were to create the ideal boathouse... This would be it.
