2012 Georgie Award Winner

The Dunbar Laneway House strikes a heartfelt balance between a smaller footprint and practicality while maintaining a warm and inviting aesthetic. The entryway beckons visitors, and the unique character of natural wood finishes feels welcoming yet modern. Function informs design with an intuitive layout and exceptional flow. Thoughtfully-placed windows maintain privacy while still offering a bounty of natural light and striking views of the tree-lined neighbourhood. Sitting on the previous garage location, the first floor of this stunning structure features spaces to cook, entertain, unwind and connect with friends and family. Up the glass-sided stairs, the second floor offers an airy patio and greenspace to relax and rejuvenate or connect with friends and family.
