YSG Studio has ridden a four-storey industrial corner warehouse conversion in Redfern towards a glorious sunset. Built in the early 1900s, it has recast the building’s more recent incarnation as a contemporary art gallery, and minimal residential quarters into rancho relaxo, given its wild Western flair. Featuring flexi co-working zones and meeting rooms, generous break-out spaces including a kitchen, dining area, lounge room, outdoor entertaining terraces and a crash pad for guests, it is a modern fairytale setting that straddles both the domestic and commercial realm.

High desert meets urban oasis, weaving the sand-flecked tones of internal walls and intricately carved and decorated timber joinery together with custom patterned rugs and woven textiles heroed by sky blues, cactus greens and sundown shades. “The tonal contrast was intentional, so the jewel hues of the soft landings really zing,” adds YSG’s Director, Yasmine Ghoniem.
