Clara Street Studio

The Innerwest of Sydney loves a good quirky building or two. A chamfered two storey studio building, with playful offset windows, sits neatly in the back garden of an existing federation single storey Semi.

Between the two, a light filled bath house.

Bakker Studios worked closely with the owner, who sourced second hand objects. The items were coordinated into the design, resulting in a new build, with love and soul.

A blue enamelled Art Deco basin is paired with handmade blue tiles in the bath house, while an old timber refrigerator is updated to become a bathroom cabinet in the studio bathroom, an art deco mirror and light suspended above. The light and airfilled studio loft, with its 3 angled ceiling and playful offset windows, is warmed through the inclusion of remilled, recycled, hardwood timber floors, stairs and balustrade.
