In the heart of Sydney, artist and DJ Mason Kimber and writer and arts consultant Mariam Ella Arcilla have transformed their compact micro-terrace into Magenta House—a home that doubles as a creative and communal gathering space. Designed by architect Adele McNab, this 3-metre-wide terrace seamlessly blends private and shared living, hosting everything from communal meals and workshops to reading sessions and street parties. Thoughtfully designed storage, modular furniture, and adaptable layouts allow the home to shift between personal retreat and community hub. A curated in-house library invites guests to explore, while the courtyard and DJ booth reflect their love for hospitality, creativity, and social connection.
