42-44 Pine Street

Located in the culturally rich enclave of Chippendale in inner Sydney, Pigeon Shed by MCK Architects is a striking warehouse conversion that pays homage to its industrial past while embracing contemporary urban living. Behind its distinctive brick facade, the residence unfolds with a sense of crafted restraint, where original elements are carefully preserved and paired with a refined, modern palette. Thoughtful spatial planning introduces a generous sense of scale and light, creating a home that feels both grounded in history and attuned to present-day life.

Materiality plays a central role in the design, with raw textures and clean lines coming together to evoke a sense of calm sophistication. Timber, steel and concrete are balanced with softer details, ensuring the space remains warm and liveable. At every turn, MCK Architects’ approach is evident, one that is both respectful of the building’s heritage and boldly forward-thinking in its execution.

Situated within walking distance of leading galleries, restaurants and universities, Pigeon Shed offers a rare opportunity to inhabit a truly design-led home in one of Sydney’s most dynamic inner-city neighbourhoods, a place where culture, history and contemporary architecture converge.
