event space / yoga retreat

Located high on the mountain side in the Byron Bay hinterlands, this industrial building was originally a helicopter hangar open on two side, to the east and south. It was later partially converted into guest accommodation with a kitchen and an outside freestanding bathroom on the north. Since then the main two storey open air space had been intermittently used for yoga retreats – weather dependent. To increase the building’s use potential the client wanted in fully enclosed the building and make it built for purpose. bradleycole’s role was to design renovations that would enable the old hangar to be used as both an event space for small wedding receptions as well as yoga retreats.

 

Three additional bedrooms were added with two new internal bathrooms, and the main space enclosed from the weather whilst still capturing the spectacular views. New lighting and finishes were also added throughout. The budget for this project was tight so we incorporate second-hand aluminium windows and recycled materials where possible.
