LANEWAY HOUSE
As the world shifts towards sustainable living, the challenge is set: how can we fashion urban spaces that are practical and beautiful? The renovation of Laneway House proves that warmth and wonder can unfold within the smallest confines.









Laneway House is much more than a renovation. It is a home where small is celebrated, defying expectations and revealing the extraordinary possibilities within the seemingly ordinary. This modest two-bedroom standalone property, setback from the bustling world of Crown Street, Surry Hills was a remnant of a bygone era when Victorian terraces were subdivided into quaint cottages. Spanning a mere 77m2, this renovation was approached through the lens of perspective: small need not be a constraint but rather an opportunity for excellent sufficiency, surprise, and pure joy. Colour, texture and inventive design was used to defy the buildings meagre footprint and create a generous home.
