The city has got its buzz back and Surry Hills is the epicentre of all things creative. Galleries, studios and warehouse conversions define the urban landscape where you’ll find some of Sydney’s best organic cafes, pubs, wine bars and boutiques. A melting pot of artistic expression, Surry Hills was voted the 19th coolest neighbourhood in the word and the top Sydney community by Time Out in 2021 and the heart of Eastern Sydney continues to transform. The upcoming $200m redevelopment of  the retail hub by Toga will bring new life and vitality to this cosmopolitan urban village.\

Nothing screams inner city cool more than an award-winning warehouse conversion and Alexander Phillips and Vince Licata’s listing at 17 & 18/26 Hutchinson Street, Surry Hills is undoubtedly one of Sydney’s best. Reimagined by SJB Architects, Hutch & Hutch is a boutique collection at the northern edge of Surry Hills and this unique skyhome has been reconfigured from two top floor apartments with its own private rooftop garden conceived as a lush oasis in the sky.

Vince says, “You’d expect to see something of this calibre in London or Manhattan. It really is a cut above and unlike anything Surry Hills has seen before. The bespoke four-bedroom residence has been conceived as a private world above the rooftops with the pulse of city living at the doorstep and incredible views surrounded by cafes, bakeries, pocket bars and local favourites like Nomad, Toko and Chin Chin.”

A creative transformation by an up-and-coming designer Alana Cooke has transformed the space into an urban sanctuary with bespoke interiors and a textural palette of oak, terrazzo and brass that brings new life to this Manhattan-like inner city landmark.

There’s always something going on in Surry Hills so why not come and check out these inner city crackers and spend the day exploring with plenty of fantastic places for brunch or a pub lunch or simply a peruse around the off-beat boutiques, designer stores and galleries.
