Premium Utility Room in Marrickville NSW – Classic brick bungalow

Completed September 2024

This classic brick bungalow in Marrickville presented an exceptional opportunity to create a book lover's dream office. The homeowners needed a spacious home office with extensive book storage and additional hidden storage for seasonal items. We delivered 30 square metres of premium office space featuring stunning custom-built floor-to-ceiling bookshelves that follow the roofline, premium polished timber flooring, and multiple skylights for abundant natural light. An additional 10 square metres of hidden storage is accessed via an electric concertina attic ladder with wall-mounted control. The custom bookshelves utilise every inch of the sloped ceiling space, creating a warm, library-like atmosphere perfect for reading and focused work.

Our Solution

We delivered a 30sqm office with custom floor-to-ceiling bookshelves that follow the roofline, plus 10sqm of hidden storage reached by an electric concertina ladder with wall-mounted control.

The bookshelves use every bit of the sloped ceiling - it feels like a proper old library. I never want to leave the room. Faultless work from start to finish.
