Annetta Pedretti (1954-2018[4]) was an architect associated with second-order cybernetics[2], and a student of Gordon Pask.[1]

She is known for her long-term design project refurbishing a house at 25 Princelet Street in Spitalfields, now called the House of Annetta.[2][5] She moved into the house in 1980. After her death in 2018, it was entrusted to Stiftung Edith Maryon, who have continued to develop it as a community resource with the architecture collective Assemble.[6]
