The Owners of This Mediterranean-Style Home in Byron Bay Asked Their Designer for a 'Breathing Room' and Feel-Good Vibes Throughout

A pool outside a modern house with striped sun loungers and pink parasols.

A space designed for both serene relaxation and sophisticated entertaining, this holiday home answered the needs of an Australian couple seeking sanctuary from their bustling city lives. Calling on designer Jase Sullivan to revamp it, the finished result is a masterful blend of comfort and style, imbuing the house with a ‘feel-good’ atmosphere that truly epitomises the concept of escape.

Originally built in the 1970s, the property had gone through several renovations before facing its latest iteration. "The clients loved the location being so close to the beach and Byron Bay village, but they really didn’t like the midcentury-modern design of the house and they didn’t know which creative direction to take it," remembers Jase. "When I was engaged to do the project, I presented the idea of giving it a Mediterranean makeover and changing the layout of the rooms."
