The key design move for this small inner west renovation was to bounce northern light into the interior living spaces.

An enlarged angular eave fascia acts as the reflector, which in turn relies on the neighbour’s wall to illuminate the kitchen, living and dining areas through windows set within a wall of joinery.

The 1.5 metre wide side passage is purposefully linked to both the living spaces and the rear yard to increase a sense of space on the otherwise small site.

The front portions of the dwelling were also renovated and included two wet areas and a new bedroom. A bespoke ceiling profile has ensured the internal bathroom is a delightful light-filled room.
