Jury citation
Lane Cove House is a commendable example of adaptive reuse and a living model of successful multigenerational living. A new upper floor sits comfortably in its setting, allowing the original ground floor to retain its creature comforts for its existing inhabitants. Accessible to the existing dwelling and the streetscape, the addition complements the programmatic order of its original counterpart. Internal courtyards draw in views and break down the structure’s overall mass. The outcome is a space that feels generous, not just to the inhabitants but to the street.
Lane Cove House is located in Lane Cove, New South Wales on Cammerraygal Country.
