BALMAIN ROCK BY BENN + PENNA
Balmain Rock by Benn and Penna is the product of a familiar downsizing story. In the pursuit of more efficient living after their children moved out, clients Vanessa and Chris decided to bid farewell to their large five-bedroom family home. They set their sights on an 1860s cottage in Sydney’s inner-west, originally built to support industrial workers associated with the neighbouring working harbour of White Bay. At the time of purchase, the house, with a number of shoddy lean-to structures off the back, was “very dilapidated” and in need of some attention.
