Gadigal & Wangal Land, Leichardt

Once an inward-looking cottage plagued by its bursting footprint, House Lupe is today composed around simple moments for contemplation. The home has been designed to frame uncomplicated views of street-side and neighboring planting while maintaining necessary inner-city privacy. The carefully placed openings introduce an abundance of natural light, shadow play, and ventilation to the space, without exposing the interior to the baking sun. The allure of this project would be unknown to passers-by, met by a modest frontage that remains largely unchanged.
