Issue No. 19 Feature • Located in Sydney’s Newtown, House Gretchen emerges from behind a heritage facade, sitting flush within a row of turn-of-the-20th-century terraces. Designed by @lintelstudio for an artist couple and their son, the dark terrace was updated into a light-filled and inspiring home with a striking experimental layout. From the outset, the project presented challenges. Ageing building materials and water damage meant the historic terrace had to be entirely rebuilt. Lintel Studio restored the facade and two front rooms to heritage standards, with subtle updates including underfloor air-conditioning and bespoke wall panelling. The team then completely reimagined House Gretchen’s existing rear extension.
