Sunspire is imagined as a home shaped by light and landscape—rising from the hills of Vaucluse to embrace outlooks to both the harbour in the west and the Pacific Ocean in the east. At its heart sits a generous private courtyard, a protected outdoor room that extends the living spaces and brings daylight deep into the interior. What was once a constrained footprint now feels open, calm and deeply connected to nature. This four-storey residence is designed to settle into the site while taking full advantage of its elevation, offering moments of quiet refuge alongside sweeping views across Sydney.

For clients with a genuine love of gardens and reading, the home balances openness with intimacy. A tall library wall anchors the main living space, framing an abundant courtyard where dappled light moves across stone and planting throughout the day. Natural stone guides you in from the entry, while warm timbers soften the voluminous interiors and create a sense of comfort within the generous scale. Still in its concept stage, Sunspire represents an exciting vision for a home that feels both elevated and grounded—an uplifting sanctuary shaped by light, landscape and the rituals of daily life.
