Phoenix House / HGA.Studio

Miwa Negoro — Thu, 22 May 2025 03:00:00 +0000

Phoenix House is a profoundly personal endeavor, born from the restoration of an early 1900s Queenslander purchased in Brisbane, Australia. Initially, I had various plans for the property, but life's unexpected twists transformed it into a new home for me and my two children. While stored in the cane fields near Ballina, the house endured brutal southerly storms. When I visited, the tarps were gone, the structure was waterlogged, and the side veranda had collapsed into a heap of hardwood.

Brahminy House / HGA.Studio

Brahminy House is a striking example of a harmonious fusion between architecture and nature, located on the most easterly part of Byron Bay. This thoughtfully designed residence stands as a testament to the seamless integration of built form with the surrounding lush native heath, framing picturesque views of the bay.

Andreas Luco — Wed, 13 Nov 2024 03:00:00 +0000

Inhabiting a narrow 360m² corner block in Byron Bay, Bangalow Road House thoughtfully embraces its site constraints to create an efficient, small-footprint family home. Faced with the site's limited dimensions, the design employs an elevated plan to accommodate the internal floor area requirements for a three-bedroom home. It comprises three rectangular volumes, each serving different programmatic functions.

Sun Ranch / Balanced Earth Architects

Hana Abdel — Sun, 18 Feb 2024 23:00:00 +0000

In a world saturated with cookie-cutter experiences and predictable offerings, there exists an insatiable desire to break free from the mundane and seek something truly exceptional. Welcome to Sun Ranch, a 55-acre coastal estate nestled in the picturesque Byron Bay hinterland, where guests can enjoy total privacy, incredible onsite experiences, and spectacular hotel living.

Tasman Gallery / Benn + Penna Architecture

Pilar Caballero — Wed, 04 Oct 2023 01:00:00 +0000

Post-covid and the lines between working and relaxing are forever blurred. Wellbeing is a priority. How can we design work spaces that enhance healthy lives? A former storage shed, located in the Byron Bay Arts and Industry Estate, has been reimagined by Benn + Penna as a workplace in a gallery, fusing work and life.

Light Years Asian Diner / Studio Plenty

Hana Abdel — Wed, 03 May 2023 18:00:00 +0000

Light Years Asian Diner is an exploration of tonality, texture, and threshold: honest materiality and playful gradients were central in capturing the famed local personality of the restaurant, cuisine, cocktail, and waitstaff. Studio Plenty teamed up with Sarah Ellison to achieve this bold concept; an elevated departure from the restaurant's humble beginnings.

Wollumbin House / HGA.Studio

Pilar Caballero — Sun, 27 Mar 2022 22:00:00 +0000

Faced with the challenge of a highly constrained site, Wollumbin House is a project that embraces solitude and sanctuary in the confines of a suburban context. Anchored on a steep west-facing site the project acts as a vantage point to enjoy views of the caldera and Wollumbin (Mount Warning) to the west and glimpses of the Pacific Ocean to the north.

Contemplation House / Virginia Kerridge Architect

Hana Abdel — Thu, 20 May 2021 20:00:00 +0000

Set in a magical setting in the hills of Byron Bay the house has an extraordinary view of the sea and sky, and sits in a private rural and rainforest setting. All seasons of nature are observed firsthand by this house on the hill. The owners are very interested in the philosophy of Indigenous peoples and these philosophies are reflected in the design. Among ideas explored was the idea of the life of a man being a circle from childhood to childhood; another was the idea of connectivity with nature.

The Byron House / Paul Uhlmann Architects

Valeria Silva — Tue, 14 Apr 2020 21:00:00 +0000

This generous family home intended to encapsulate what it means to live in Byron Bay. This concept saw the creation of an open and ‘relaxed’ residence, that was still site responsive and outward looking yet sheltered and warm. All main living spaces were arranged along a central spine that cascaded down the slope of the site, with the same earthy, natural materials used both internally and externally.

Barrio Restaurant / DFJ Architects

Andreas Luco — Thu, 20 Feb 2020 02:00:00 +0000

Woodfired, rustic sharing food, cooked in the spectacle of owner/chef Francisco’s Argentine open grills, sets the tone for Barrio’s elegantly low-key space. Barrio, meaning ‘neighbourhood’ in Spanish, is designed to bring people together in a convivial atmosphere, rich with natural materials and earthy textures.

Habitat Live/Work / DFJ Architects

Andreas Luco — Tue, 18 Feb 2020 20:00:00 +0000

Live/Work’s intention is to provide a new building prototype, featuring basic, but good-quality housing with articulated workspaces. The prevalence of self-employment in Byron Shire and absence of affordable housing often sees people living illegally in mezzanines over their businesses in industrial units.

Possum Shoot Shed / DFJ Architects

Andreas Luco — Mon, 17 Feb 2020 20:00:00 +0000

The small pavilion, situated on the southern edge of the Tweed Caldera, consists of two bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen and small living room running along the contour of the land. The brief was to build small and simply, allowing for a form of ‘elegant camping’ on the site that doesn’t dominate its visible, elevated position.

Habitat Recreation Centre / DFJ Architects

Paula Pintos — Mon, 17 Feb 2020 01:00:00 +0000

Freed from its more utilitarian surroundings, Habitat Recreation’s floating translucent roof beckons visitors to explore under its sculptural wings.

House Burch / THOSE Architects

Pilar Caballero — Tue, 02 Oct 2018 20:00:00 +0000

Designing for the realities of a sub tropical climate – with its harsh sunlight, summer heat and oppressive humidity, winter chills, damp, corrosive air borne salt, high rainfall and occasional tropical storms and fierce winds– requires a deep understanding of the micro climate and the landscape, and how both can be used to create an efficient, functional and delightful place to live.

Elements of Byron / Shane Thompson Architects

Cristobal Rojas — Fri, 01 Jul 2016 17:00:00 +0000

Leading Brisbane architecture firm Shane Thompson Architects has designed the new Elements of Byron resort on the beaches of Byron Bay, Australia.
