The perfect reno: Light Cannon House

The architects have unveiled their latest project, the ‘Light Cannon House’ in Annandale, West Sydney. The team established an unusual solution to the standard south-facing Sydney terrace problem by balancing two sculptured roof tower forms – light cannons – to draw in northern light while casting minimal shadow.

The newly lit space is enhanced by a line of black joinery and grey iron bark island bench. The blend of white, light, timber and black highlight the form and functions of the space. An internal courtyard provides a contemplative outdoor zone with a low-maintenance moss garden spilling light and ventilation deep into the downstairs living area, formerly the darkest corner of the house.

Check out photos of the stunning house below.
