I’m talking Skylight House in Sydney designed by Chenchow Little. I feel absolutely elated whenever I see such inspired and highly successful design projects hailing from Australia, and especially our fair city of Sydney which is known for many, many amazing things but probably not for world’s best architecture. Alas, Chenchow Little are here once again with their consistently high-quality world-class project, acting as a shining light of example as to what is possible when architects extend their thinking beyond the brief and the conventional thinking. Amen to that.( b4 V1 j% Q" E! b8 \$ Q( B , f3 X( e# ?3 c7 f . v5 N, q1 G# U6 ? , t5 a- b; y# t% y( |" \2 t& N Photo above by Katherine Lu. [Search:DCION 9 v U- R! W% K+ P: R* n; k This typical Victorian terrace house balances the heritage, the mid-century modern with contemporary elements creating a home that is anything but typical. With it’s three bedrooms, two bathrooms and an enclosed courtyard with a banksia tree, the house feeds on natural light, illuminating the entire interior. If you like what you see, I suggest you read this fantastic article about Skylight House over on Australian Design Review, beautifully written by David Neustein. Not surprisingly, Skylight House was awarded the Australian Institute of Architects, NSW Chapter Award for Residential Architecture Alterations and Additions earlier this year.

好有感覺啊，這輩子會不會有一天有機會住進這樣的房子里呢，渺茫。
