The luxurious $3.8 million apartment (the asking price at the time of publication) has been featured in seven major magazines.
Spanning the entire first floor of a former industrial building in Surry Hills, it may just be the best warehouse apartment on the market in Sydney, and sold in November,
“It’s a bucket list apartment for a lot of people,” agent Zakir Abdallaoui of Sydney Sotheby’s said during the campaign.
“These are full-floor apartments, there’s only six in a building, one on each floor. It’s arguably the best warehouse building in the city.”
The eclectic home in the elite Perth suburb of Swanbourne hit the market for the first time in more than a decade.
From the outside, the tree-shrouded house looks like a traditional suburban home – but inside, the idiosyncratic home is anything but ordinary.
At the heart of the home is a huge warehouse-inspired gallery space with vast floor-to-ceiling windows.
When the heroine of Frances Hodgson Burnett’s classic tale The Secret Garden stumbles upon an abandoned garden, she says: “It was the sweetest, most mysterious-looking place anyone could imagine.”
Visitors who come across 9-11 Lindeman Road in Leura might think the same thing.
For almost 30 years, the one-acre property has been untouched by human hands.
Marra Marra Creek in Berowra Waters is just one hour north of the Sydney CBD, but it’s a world away from fast-paced city life.
The area has long been a favourite hideaway of Australian celebrities, like Cate Blanchett and her husband Andrew Upton, who used to own a holiday home on Berowra Creek.
For Swiss architect and homeowner Leopold Banchini, it was the remoteness that first drew him to Marra Marra Creek.
“We chose this site because it was extremely wild,” Banchini says in a video for The Local Project. “The fact that you can only reach it by boat makes it even more remote.”
On the steep banks of the creek, he created an extraordinary glass home that he lovingly calls “a little holiday shack on the river.”

The most Aussie design imaginable – at one with an ancient landscape – is a startling presence on Queensland’s prestige property market.
Hidden in the world’s oldest tropical rainforest, the house without traditional walls redefines what a luxury home looks like.
The cutting-edge, fan-like structure, in the centre of a man-made lake, teaming with wildlife – is out of this world but not in the way it first appears. It isn’t a flying saucer. It is an architectural family home, named Alkira.
The private, verdant location – where the 180-million-year old Daintree connects to the Great Barrier Reef – is as breathtaking as the dual-level, open-air design.
This eye-popping pool is unlike anything else on the market.
The vendors have installed a shipping container, converted into a steel swimming pool, on stilts.
The pool is connected to 100 square metres of decking, six metres above the ground, in a front-row position to endless views.
“As you enter 10 Orient Court, the first thing you will do is look up,” the listing for the Buderim showstopper says.
This multimillion-dollar home in a brutalist style has received national recognition.
Named Whipbird, the T-shaped pavilion in Doonan, Queensland, received the Xact Accounting House of the Year Award at the 2024 Housing and Construction Awards.
The five-bedroom, six-bathroom home was also named the Best Individual Home for the $5 million to $10 million category.
Master Builders Queensland shared the award news on their Facebook page, describing Whipbird as a home “that embraces a deeply poetic response to its environs”.
