A Retro Little Townhouse in Sydney

There is a youthful energy to this cheerful townhouse in downtown Sydney.

You enter through a dining room with a feeling of a ’50s ice cream parlor.

The little pool is a friendly presence right in the kitchen.

A chipper little black spiral staircase supplies access straight up to a viewing roof.

A rooftop hangout, casually finished in weathered wood, offers a natural respite from its uber-urban milieu.

Even from the second floor living room, the view is opened out towards the coastline.

This means the townhouse does not feel confined, despite its narrow suburban lot.

The shiny and happy ’50s modern interior continues in a bright and sunny master bath upstairs.

Interesting stairs are custom shaped to wrap a curved inner wall.

The Sydney-based Australian architect Edward Szewczyk designed the beguilingly simple and cheerful house.
