5 Judges Lane
Waverley, NSW 2024

This exceptional warehouse conversion located at 5 Judges Lane, Waverley, offers a unique blend of industrial heritage and contemporary design, providing a versatile living and working environment. Nestled in a quiet, exclusive laneway, the residence stands out with its bold architectural expression and remarkable individuality, having been featured by Grand Designs Australia.

The home showcases impressive craftsmanship and scale, highlighted by soaring 4-metre ceilings, exposed steel beams, and deliberately exposed pipework that celebrate its industrial origins. The interior palette combines concrete, brick, and commercial-grade timber, creating a warm and sophisticated atmosphere with rich textures.

The expansive ground floor is designed for flexibility, ideal for use as a creative studio, home office, or business premises. Its open-plan layout, durable materials, and private access make it suitable for both professional and residential purposes. This level seamlessly connects to an architecturally designed courtyard, enhancing the space for work or entertaining.

At the heart of the home is a striking kitchen featuring a custom four-tonne concrete island and a fully equipped butler’s pantry, perfect for everyday living and hosting large gatherings. The original warehouse slab flooring has been retained, adding authenticity and character to the generous living areas.

The upper level offers privacy and comfort with three spacious bedrooms finished in commercial plywood, maintaining the cohesive industrial aesthetic. Remote-controlled Velux skylights flood the space with natural light, while thoughtful inclusions such as a laundry chute and energy-efficient Aeratron ceiling fans enhance convenience and comfort.

The private courtyard extends the living space outdoors, designed as a tranquil, low-maintenance sanctuary. It features motorised louvred pergolas, self-irrigating landscaping, and recycled brickwork that complements the home's overall style, providing a seamless indoor-outdoor flow.

Additional highlights include secure three-car garaging with internal access, advanced security systems, and bespoke detailing throughout, including custom steel elements and repurposed finishes. This residence transcends traditional design, offering a harmonious balance of lifestyle and functionality.
