Lavender Bay House.

An old, almost derelict house in Lavender Bay has been renovated, reconfigured and reimagined by Georgina Wilson Associates to become more in tune with its spectacular surroundings. Located in ‘Artists’ Row’, a unique pocket of Sydney set amid Wendy Whiteley’s famous Secret Garden, this three-storey, two-bedroom house, built in 1907, was full of dark rooms and narrow spaces within an awkward layout. With a strong awareness of and respect for its heritage and situation, Georgina collaborated with the owner to replan the design of the house, choosing materials that reflected the local landscape and aesthetic, and creating a light-filled interior that is all about connection and flow.
