The Watsons Bay Home reveals itself in stages, with a timber-lined walkway that leads from an unassuming street entrance past a private courtyard, separated by a garage and studio structure. A double-height void marks the center of the home, where an arched front door motif continues throughout the interior. Sheltered from harbor winds, the north-facing courtyard serves as a sunlit sanctuary in winter and a shaded outdoor extension in summer, complemented by a leopard tree.

The layout of the home was flawed and the centre dark and unused, our brief was to open the house and introduce light wherever possible.

Bathrooms can be wonderous jewel boxes filled with intrigue and charm. In our Watsons Bay home, the ensuites come alive with mosaics of richly pigmented natural stone, creating a dynamic interplay of colour and texture that feels both playful and refinedā
