The Sun(set) Salon

On Sunday 21 June — the winter solstice, the darkest day, and the exact moment the light begins its return — Sunlight & Shelter opens its doors.

We're marking it the way the day deserves: not with an announcement, but with a gathering — a virtual housewarming.

As the sun goes down over Melbourne, settle in for the Sun(set) Salon — a series of short fireside conversations with voices from right across the world of homes: people who help others buy well, build well, and live well.

Relaxed, honest, and full of the kind of advice that usually only gets shared after the contract's signed.

One thread runs through all of it: how to get a home right early — before the mistakes are poured in concrete. What to look for before you buy, build, or renovate. Why the right team changes everything. And the regrets you can quietly sidestep if you simply know what to ask.

Pour something warm, find your last good patch of winter light, and join us as the celestial year turns. ☀

In the conversations:

• Reading a property's potential before you buy

• Designing with the sun, not against it

• What a genuine architect–builder–client team actually feels like

• The renovation regrets worth avoiding
