With a site width of only 3.5 metres, creating space within this classic Paddington Terrace was the biggest challenge. We also wanted to avoid an overdevelopment of the site, and to retain a sunny courtyard garden. We utilised the existing roof space for a cozy bedroom/study and created a private guest studio to the rear of the site opening up to the garden.

We are Sandbox Studio, a co-creative Architecture studio based in Sydney & Canberra.
So what's a co-creative architecture studio – another buzzword?
Not really, ‘cause we take you - the client - seriously... we respect your design aesthetic, your tastes, your desires! We invite you to co-design with us. Don't worry, we do all the hard work, but we sit with you over a coffee and get your imagination going. We engage you in conversations and exercises (our trade secret) which help reveal to you and us what you really want. We know it's our job to come up with ideas and concepts and do all the architectural work, but we think it's also our job to discover what's in the back of your mind and empower your creativity. The result of such a collaborative process is something really special!
Sandbox Studio is an A+ member of the Australian Institute of Architects.
