Sitting on a tiny 80sqm block is this private and serene 3 storey 110sqm home in Erskineville - Claire designed this home for her first baby, Isla.

Isla’s Place is a celebration of inner city living, greenery and family. When looking over the meadow-like rooftop garden, it's hard to believe the home is 5km from Sydney's CBD.
Originally an early 1900's workers cottage, the home has been transformed into a three bedroom family home. From the lounge room one can watch the moon track across the eastern sky.
