So nice to be back on street of #sydney again with friends from Cox Architecture. Argyle Terrace, the rocks were built between 1875-1883. The terraces at 17-31 Playfair Street were adapted as commercial premises in 1972. All of the houses were built of face brick with no extraneous detailing. To maximise the use of the site the houses were built directly onto the street alignment with cantilevered balconies overhanging a narrow footpath. Each terrace features a simple two-up, two-down floor plan with attic rooms. The internal detailing is generally devoid of decoration and as such is typical of this type of working class housing.
