Plus Architecture has pulled the covers back on its design for a luxe hotel in Byron Bay, with the practice building on its brilliant portfolio in the region with its inaugural project in the town.
Located on the site of the current Waves Hotel in the heart of Byron Bay, the hotel is imagined as a sanctuary, offering a place of retreat for visitors. The four-level, 1,410 sqm precinct will comprise 76 rooms set amongst an established coastal vernacular.
The tonal palette has been carefully curated to reflect the coastal environment. Travertine, brass, and bronze feature throughout, in order to maximise warmth. Plus Architecture Director Danny Juric describes the design as a “symphony of serenity.”
“Inspired by the captivating elements of the nearby beach and ocean, our colour palette gracefully reflects the warmth of sand and the vibrant allure of aqua hues,” he says.
“Through a careful integration of base colours, sand tones, and shades of blue, we have artfully woven the coolness, warmth, and texture of the beach into the very essence of the hotel's understated grandeur, creating an oasis-like interior and remarkably sensitive architecture.”
The internal space of the hotel has been thoughtfully designed to provide guests with an oasis amidst the bustling town. A large, light-filled atrium at the heart of the building creates a cool and calming environment, offering a retreat from the intensity of the outside world.
“This internal sanctum, which will feature a high-end restaurant, allows guests to reconnect with friends and enjoy their time together in a unique and curated setting.
The hotel’s rooftop serves as its crowning glory, featuring a rooftop bar, pool and cabana that will be the largest in Byron Bay. Providing stunning vignettes of the town, it allows for many memories to be crafted within a gorgeous backdrop.
