Byron Bay, NSW · 2025
Exterior & Approach
From the street, a low concrete-roofed form behind a hardwood batten fence — a single carport opening into a planted entry court, and a tall timber door set back under board-formed soffits.
Living
The living room runs the length of a single long walnut credenza — a Camaleonda sofa in oatmeal bouclé, a low timber coffee table on a jute rug, and tall linen curtains drawn back to louvres and garden.
Kitchen & Dining
Kitchen and dining share a single calm room — a long concrete-topped island, full-height walnut joinery, paper-lantern and ceramic pendants, and a slot of clerestory glass pulling in palm canopy and sky.
Circulation
Hallways are kept narrow and quiet — lime-washed plaster catching the light, ceramic sconces on either side, and reeded glass doors at the end framing a soft view through to the garden.
Bedrooms
Bedrooms open to the garden through tall timber-framed doors — linen curtains drawn loosely, a walnut bed floating low on the floor, and a single mature tree just beyond the glass.
Bathrooms
Bathrooms are quietly utilitarian — stainless trough basins on stone, walnut joinery beneath, and louvre windows pulling garden light across flagstone floors.
Overview
Private residence at 5 Coral Court, Byron Bay. A single-storey modernist plan on a 691sqm block — four bedrooms, 283sqm under roof — held around a covered outdoor room and a concrete-edged pool. White rendered walls and board-formed concrete soffits outside; lime-washed plaster, walnut joinery and flagstone floors inside.
Credits
White render and board-formed concrete outside; lime plaster, walnut joinery and flagstone within. Linen curtains, ceramic sconces and reeded glass filtering the Byron light.
