Sydney is defined by its glittering harbour. Along its winding waterfront, prestigious homes perch above the water, surrounded by lush gardens and natural coastal features. Acclaimed landscape designer Anthony Wyer has crafted gardens to frame some of Sydney's most exclusive addresses, from a clifftop estate in Vaucluse to a hidden retreat in Mosman. Each space is a study in restraint and elegance, where layered planting, coastal textures and sculptural design echo the rhythm of the sea and the pace of harbourside life. This book captures not just the gardens themselves, but the lifestyle they represent: sunlit breakfasts by the pool, twilight gatherings under leafy canopies, and the quiet luxury of space, shade and stillness. With privileged access and evocative photography, Harbourside Gardens celebrates the harmony of design and nature in one of the world's most beautiful urban landscapes.
