Shirley Lane

Byron Bay, NSW · New custom home

The brief

Designed around natural materials and honest craftsmanship, Shirley Lane celebrates the structural beauty of timber construction. Hand-pitched spotted gum rafters, locally crafted timber windows and doors, and spotted gum cladding sit alongside cantilevered concrete elements to create a home that feels both refined and enduring. The result is a home where every structural element becomes part of the architecture.
