About Ossher Design and Build
Heritage renovation builders in Paddington.
Paddington's Victorian and Edwardian terraces are among Sydney's most distinctive housing stock, and among its most constrained to build in. Tight party walls, narrow access lanes and strict heritage controls mean small mistakes get expensive fast.
Ossher Design and Build delivers heritage-sensitive renovations, rear extensions and full restorations across Paddington and Woollahra. Founded by Adam Ossher, our team brings the patience and technical detail this housing typology demands.
We work within Woollahra Council heritage controls, coordinating with heritage architects, structural engineers and joiners experienced in restoration work.

Local Knowledge
Building in Paddington: heritage, terraces & council.
Paddington builds are intricate. Here's what we plan for from day one.
Woollahra Heritage Approvals
Almost all of Paddington sits within heritage conservation areas. We prepare DA documentation that respects heritage controls while making a strong case for modern liveability.
Terrace Construction Detail
Party walls, original brickwork, lead flashings and timber joinery all require specific approaches. We treat original fabric as something to work with, not around.
Tight Access & Neighbours
Laneways, shared walls and close neighbours are constant. We plan logistics, notifications and acoustic separation carefully to keep projects moving and relationships intact.
