In this episode, Cherise is joined by Georgina Wilson of Georgina Wilson Associates in Sydney, Australia. They discuss the Lavender Bay Project in New South Wales, Australia.
Nestled in the heart of Sydney’s storied Lavender Bay, a once-neglected Edwardian home has been beautifully transformed into an artist’s haven. Architect Georgina Wilson, in collaboration with homeowner Mary-Lou, reimagined the 1907 property, preserving its heritage charm while infusing it with light, flow, and connection to 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 owner Mary-Lou 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.
