Emerald Sound: Tropical Glass House Overlooking Sydney’s Emerald Bay

Emerald Sound sits above a quiet bay in Sydney, Australia, where Luigi Rosselli Architects rework a 1970s house into a coastal retreat shaped by glass and light. The renovation leans into the site’s subtropical character, pairing a recycled structure with vivid emerald tones, intricate louvres, and a courtyard garden that draws the landscape inside. Interiors by Atelier Alwill and the clients sharpen this palette, tying house and water together in one clear narrative.
