2 Printers Lane Darlinghurst for sale by James Perlowski, Ted Pye and Harrison Reynolds of Belle Property has been transformed from a historic electrical substation into a glowing three-bedroom home.
Privately tucked away on the eastern edge of the Sydney CBD, this former 1930s substation showcases a stunning transformation within moments of Stanley Street's dining precinct, iconic local cafes, Oxford Street nightlife, Hyde Park and the heart of the city.
Winner of the heritage category in the 2019 National Architecture Awards, Tribe Studio with builder Daniel Girling Butcher crafted one of the area's most innovative industrial conversions, featuring soaring ceilings, bespoke finishes and striking design details. The design celebrates the face brickwork of the building and its neighbouring terraces and early factory buildings.

"Tribe’s brief was to extend this beautiful little brick jewel, transforming it into a three-bedroom home with rooftop terrace and swimming pool."
"Our design concept was to celebrate the ‘brickey’-ness of the building and recall its past as an electrical substation by extruding the brick form upwards in glass bricks. The top of the building now glows like a lantern at night when the lights are on."

“It’s definitely a one-of-a-kind property with history attached to it. Award-winning architecturally designed, so you know it’s been well thought out over 3 levels,” James Perlowski told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.
