Westleigh Wonder

Located on Sydney’s North Shore, Westleigh Wonder is a project grounded in quiet refinement. The design brings together the natural softness of a coastal palette with the rhythm of urban life, creating a home that feels both grounded and uplifting.

Throughout the interiors, gentle tones of soft blue and white create a serene, light-filled atmosphere. These calming hues offer a sense of spaciousness and ease, allowing each room to feel clean, bright, and welcoming.

At the heart of the home, the kitchen was designed as a practical and expressive space. Mediterranean-inspired blue and grey graphic tiles line the floor and walls, adding texture and colour, while brushed gold tapware and handles introduce subtle warmth and elegance.

The study, finished with a plush teal carpet, offers a quiet retreat—inviting both focus and rest within a compact footprint. Generous windows throughout the house frame city views and flood the space with natural light, reinforcing the connection between inside and out.

One of the project’s key design challenges was the level difference between the external balcony and internal living area, which initially resulted in an awkward step-up. To resolve this, we introduced a new internal floor structure, creating a consistent level from the kitchen through to the living spaces. This not only improved flow and accessibility but also made the home feel more cohesive and functional.

Another consideration was the building’s low ceiling heights. We approached this constraint with a tailored alternative performance solution, enabling us to maintain compliance while still achieving generous, open-feeling spaces.

Westleigh Wonder is a home shaped by practicality and purpose. Every design decision was made to enhance everyday living—from spatial planning to material selection. The result is a warm, liveable home that reflects the client’s vision, while subtly addressing and overcoming the complexities of the original structure.
