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.
