View of Maybanke from Wharf Road with original front and side facades restored from it's unsympathetic 1930's conversion. The bay windows, balconies, chimneys, copper downpipes and dormer window in a mansard roof, and gothic revival stone trims, mounts and detailing were reinstated.

The original stone foundation wall is a feature of the dining room and kitchen. The exposed sandstone has around eight ex-convict signature 'sparrow picking' styles inscribed from when the original structure was built in the 1870's. There was a few stonemason's around Sydney at that time so it was common to use this technique as a way of signing each block.

“The architecture is very robust and direct. It draws its strength from simplicity and the materials the house is built from. We wanted to respond to that character, that strength, and create a softness and tactility that provides a space for the people living there. There is a lot of warmth, glow, and texture, from timber and luscious marbles. They are counter-posed against the concrete walls, the concrete floors and stainless steel benchtops.”- Kerry Fyfe, Interior Architect for Maybanke

"When you walked in the front door, you entered a space that felt like a rabbit warren with a narrow contorted stairwell - there was no sense of arrival that grand stairs of those old houses often had. As we had to connect five storeys… the stair became the most important interior gesture of the house. It was designed to transform the stairwell into a vertical volume, day lit by a skylight and a glazed lift shaft that also provides wonderful glimpses of Sydney Harbour as you move through the stair." - Jim KoopmanDesign Director for Maybanke
