Hewer Street

Minimalist at heart, this three-bedroom house for sale stretches up to a glass-canopied roof that floods in light.

Once a Victorian cattle shed, now a warehouse-like home reimagined by HASA Architects. The sheer scale of Hewer Street won’t fail to impress. Ceilings soar up to nine-metres in places, while a vaulted glass roof – with electrically opened windows – channels natural light through both storeys.

The main attraction is the triple-height living space, which spans over 17-metres in length and encompasses a main seating area, study and kitchen – each more striking than the next. Glass is used in abundance – from the Crittall screens to the toughened glass gangways upstairs – resulting in a free-flowing footprint made for entertaining.

Design is pared-back, comfortable and in touch with the building’s industrial roots – all polished concrete floors and crisp white walls that call for statement artworks; Erco lighting is strategically placed on large frames to illuminate accordingly. Light and dark tones are interplayed throughout – from the naturally bright reception space to the moodier study zone. From here, step inside the streamlined kitchen. Lacquered surfaces, a glass splash back and honed granite counter tops combine to create a culinary domain that both looks and acts the part.

Upstairs, all three bedrooms are calming in feel, with internal clerestory windows filtering in additional natural light from above. Original Victorian wooden trusses crown a glass walkway that leads between the principal suite and two guest suites, all featuring oak floors, electric roller blinds and built-in wardrobes.
