Set into hillside rock above Sydney’s Pitt Water and originally built in the 1950s, Babylon is the deeply spirited home of Fiona Spence and Morris Lyda, brought back to life through a sensitive collaboration with architect Rob Brown of Casey Brown Architecture. Embodying a wabi-sabi approach and designed with reverence for its bohemian roots, the home balances raw materiality, site-specific details, and soul-stirring moments of craftsmanship. With interiors completed by Fiona herself, Babylon is a layered expression of memory, artistry, and design intuition — a rare kind of magic that can’t be manufactured.
