Pivot on Lunchbox Architect

Pivot is a Sydney practice with a lot of experience rebuilding and reimagining inner-city terrace houses, keeping heritage facades while transforming what lies behind them.

On Lunchbox, Alexandria House 2 is a full rebuild of a terrace in Alexandria that retains its front facade and roof, with a skewed roof, full-height glazing and an interior courtyard that blur inside and out. Alexandria House 5 turns a one-bedroom terrace into a three-bedroom home with a rear garage and studio, exposing painted brick party walls, lintels and a chimney stack. Erskineville Studio is a finely detailed secondary dwelling used as an art studio and home office.
