Located in Sydney, Lane Cove House by Lachlan Seegers Architect draws from the area’s industrial heritage to reinterpret the sawtooth roof as a contemporary device for light and spatial experience. The house integrates deeply with its garden setting through courtyards, framed views, and layered thresholds, dissolving the boundary between interior and landscape. A restrained material palette and carefully calibrated daylight create a domestic environment attuned to seasonal change, positioning the project as a nuanced architectural response to context, memory, and climate.
