where SUNSHINE awakens
THE HEART
She’s a city for the all senses, for artists and writers and musicians and dreamers, for fantasies, for long walks and wine and lovers and, yes, for mysteries. -M. J. Rose on Paris
meet LEX AND AMELIA
Hello, new friend! Welcome!
My name is Amelia. I am an inspired designer and fine art film photographer with a passion for storytelling. I love a soy mocha to start the day, the fragrance of freshly picked garden flowers and the sound of my children’s delight as we flip animal shaped pancakes on Sunday mornings. My husband Lex is a talented, thoughtful architect and together, we have built Summerhope House. A project birthed to honour baby Summer ~ our sunshine. She is in heaven and we forever will miss her, but our hearts find hope in the legacy of this beautiful house we have created. Summer drives the purpose behind our mission ~ bringing sunshine to your hearts. We currently live in Sydney with our two precious children Liam and Sky.
Together, we have built Summerhope House. A project birthed to honour baby Summer ~ our sunshine.
I dream of spaces that EVOKE dreams, connections and love.
BEYOND beautiful furniture and finishes. After all, those stories make our lives worth living for.
- AMELIA SOEGIJONO
Summerhope is more than a home — she’s a muse, lovingly created as a sanctuary where beauty and inspiration gently unfold. With light-filled spaces and thoughtful details, she invites creativity to flow and moments to linger.
Our dream is for Summerhope to become the birthplace of artists’ visions — a soulful backdrop for meaningful gatherings, creative projects, and heart-led experiences. A space where people feel seen, uplifted, and quietly empowered just by being there.
From the roses in the front garden to the peaceful rhythm of the backyard, every corner of Summerhope is designed to stir the soul and touch the heart — welcoming dreamers and creatives into a story of belonging, beauty, and purpose.
Summerhope House is thoughtfully styled and bathed in natural light throughout the day — making it effortlessly photogenic and shoot-ready. Whether for photography, filming, content creation, or intimate workshops, it offers an effortless, light-filled space to bring your vision to life. It is located in Dural | Sydney | NSW | Australia
