Retreat house

A new hilltop residence above the Byron Bay hinterland offers a family of several generations a rambling country retreat, designed for privacy and comfort, tuned to its setting and climate.

Family plan

Siting of the residence balances light and panoramic views – from Byron to Lennox Head – with cooling summer breezes. Its courtyard plan incorporates two self-contained wings of three bedrooms each, plus a larger congregational space and a services wing – all connected by covered breezeways enclosing a sheltered central garden. Robust materials will reference the local rural vernacular, adding refinement of line and detail. Interiors are crafted for relaxed comfort and longevity.
