Architecture
One of the first suburbs in Australia to embrace the Garden City movement, an urban planning concept that sought to incorporate the best parts of both country and city living, Sunshine is a place with room to grow.
Built in the impression of what was once the largest pottery and porcelain manufacturing site in Melbourne’s west, the Clayworks offers design-led residences that share tactile and artisanal qualities with the clay that runs deep into the soil. The architecture pays homage to the area’s working-class history and celebrates a community shaped by heritage. Townhomes with sawtooth rooflines evoke the industrial buildings that once defined the area and bring a clean sculptural beauty to the architectural form.

Interiors
Placing emphasis on connection as the cornerstone of thriving neighbourhoods, each spacious and light-filled townhome has been meticulously planned to nurture a strong relationship with nature and community. Bringing their contemporary aesthetics and timeless design principles to Sunshine, Hayball has crafted interiors characterised by layered, textural qualities and the organic imperfections particular to clay.
The choice of light, neutral palettes serves to amplify the generous spatial proportions of each home while handcrafted accents add warmth, transforming them into urban sanctuaries.
