Sydney talk—Adam Haddow, SJB 19 Waterloo Street

Join architect Adam Haddow in Sydney for a launch of his new book SJB 19 Waterloo Street.

Situated in the Sydney suburb of Surry Hills, 19 Waterloo Street is a project by SJB, an architecture studio founded in Melbourne and active since 1976. The brick and timber home on Waterloo Street, sited in the neighbourhood of their studio, is an amplified investigation into the housing challenges within the Australian context – doing more with less. Advocating a crafted approach to modernism, SJB is interested in an approach to urbanism that is both efficient and unique to the place. Alongside compact projects such as 19 Waterloo Street, SJB completes larger, more complex ones that help to mend the unique Australian way of life; infill that they describe as urban acupuncture.
