BACK TO ALL PROJECTThe Secret Garden
Defined by the concept of two buildings, three dwelling types and one central courtyard garden, The Secret Garden creates a diverse and highly liveable residential environment. Twin buildings establish a strong street presence along Eve Street, with projecting bay windows drawing in the morning sunlight and creating a dynamic relationship between the architecture and the streetscape. Generous square balconies extend living spaces outward, maximising natural light, outlook and everyday amenity.
19-21 Eve Street, Erskineville
The Secret Garden is a boutique residential development that brings together contemporary living, thoughtful design and a deep connection to landscape in the heart of Erskineville. Located on Eve Street, this completed collection of 15 apartments and three terraces has been carefully designed to balance architectural character, residential amenity and a strong sense of community within one of Sydney's most established inner-city neighbourhoods.
Designed by Smith & Tzannes Architecture, with landscape architecture by Mansfield Urban Landscape Architects, the development thoughtfully integrates architecture and landscape throughout. The rustic face-brick façade responds to Erskineville's industrial and residential heritage, creating a contemporary expression that sits comfortably within the area's established character.
A mix of dwelling typologies provides a varied residential offering. Upper-level maisonette apartments feature generous living spaces that open onto expansive terraces, while private bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned on the upper level. To the rear, a collection of terrace homes is nestled amongst landscaped surrounds, each benefiting from its own private courtyard garden and a direct connection to the outdoors.
At the heart of the development, a communal courtyard garden creates a green sanctuary for residents, fostering a sense of openness and connection while softening the transition between the various building forms. Bathed in natural light and finished with warm hardwood flooring and artisan detailing, each residence has been crafted to deliver an elevated living experience that is both sophisticated and enduring.
The Secret Garden stands as a thoughtful addition to Erskineville, seamlessly combining architecture, landscape and lifestyle to create a residential address that feels intrinsically connected to its surroundings.
