sit side-by-side with sustainable pieces made by Burmese craftspeople, as curated by Caitlin Henderson. In collaboration with Culture A, Inhabit Southwick Street’s art program features a mix of emerging and established names working with textile, metal, painting, and photography, while the hotel's relationship with social enterprises Goldfinger Factory, Aerende, Kalinko, Self Care Co, and Studio ND bring a social conscience to key furnishings and design pieces. Many artworks, such as Miya Ando’s fine art prints, inspire contemplation, while Nur Mut’s landscape photography aims to encourage an appreciation of nature.

Architecture Holland Harvey Architects

Set across half-a-dozen Georgian townhouses in Paddington, Inhabit Southwick Street is a naturally lit homage to a bygone era.

Architectural highlights include a plant-filled atrium ideal for a moment of reflection and a former drawing room reimagined and envisioned as a modern library by Holland Harvey Architects. Floors of English limestone create a feeling of permanence underfoot, while fiddle-leaf fig trees and plant boxes of rosemary and thyme perfume the air and bring nature within arm’s reach.
