Clayworks

A century of craft on Derby Road

Set across 2.67 hectares where the Drayton Brothers founded Sunshine Potteries in 1920, once the largest pottery and porcelain manufacturing site in Melbourne's west, Clayworks offers first-home buyers and young families affordable and authentic homes with sawtooth rooflines that evoke the industrial buildings that defined the area.

Tactile, artisanal spaces inspired by clay

Light, neutral palettes, natural materials and handcrafted accents give the Natural and Terrazzo schemes layered, textural qualities, while air conditioning, floorboards and ensuite bathrooms turn each home into an urban sanctuary for everyday living.

Garden City principles at your front door

Tree-lined streets, green spaces and pocket parks come together with shared community amenities and secure parking, carrying the suburb's Garden City spirit into daily life and making connection the cornerstone of a thriving neighbourhood.

Walk to the Southern Cross Station of the West

Sunshine train station sits 350m away with bus stops from 150m, while Sunshine Primary School, R T Pollard Gardens, supermarkets from 550m, Sunshine Marketplace and Sunshine Village Cinemas are all close by, and the planned Melbourne Airport Rail will link the CBD with Tullamarine.

A design-led partnership from SMA Projects

SMA Projects develops Clayworks with Hayball leading both architecture and interiors and Tract shaping the landscape, bringing clean sculptural beauty to townhomes that honour Sunshine's working-class roots.
