Not only does the architecture fill a challenging infill site but the interiors of the 35-room Guest House are a pastiche of differing eras. The project involved a mix of creatives including Terence Yong (Terence Yong Architecture) and Chris Haughton (SHED) on the architecture, with Connie Alessi (Archemy) and Cressida Kennedy (Space Control) for the interiors, rounded out with art curated by Nicholas Samartis.
