SAMUDRA HOUSE
Designed as part of The Vela Properties project, Samudra House is inspired by the pristine oceans of the surrounding coastline. With hints of the Mediterranean the home is instantly welcoming with layers of white, textured, rendered surfaces and the warmth of timber. Sitting proudly on the corner of the allotment under a majestic gum tree, the oversized bespoke timber windows capture its beauty and draw in the northern sun and spectacular amber sunsets.
KITCHEN AND DINING
Curves by the beach; there’s everything to love about the look of the latest project by design studio The Designory. Curves may fall in and out of fashion in the sartorial world, but they remain a persistent design trend in some of Australia’s most beautiful homes, and they’re central to this new Byron Bay project.

THE LIVING SPACES
Byron Bay meets the Mediterranean in this beachside holiday home, where a swift disconnect from the daily grind is assured.

THE MASTER BEDROOM
The master bedroom at Samudra House is a true sanctuary of rest and rejuvenation. Anchored by a luxurious king-size bed, the space opens onto a private balcony that frames a breathtaking view of the towering gum tree canopy—inviting nature in with every sunrise. A spacious walk-in robe offers refined functionality, while the beautifully appointed ensuite completes the retreat with a sense of calm, contemporary luxury. It’s a space designed to restore, unwind, and reconnect.
EXTERIOR AND OUTDOOR SPACES
Located in the “golden grid” of Byron Bay, the home is just a short 100m stroll to local cafes, restaurants and 200m to the beach through a gorgeous bush track. Featuring 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 2 living areas and lushly landscaped outdoor entertaining areas, it is the perfect space for multiple families and larger groups to reconnect and unwind. Samudra House is light filled and designed specifically for entertaining and hosting larger groups boasting a number of open plan zones and break out spaces as well as a perfectly oriented beautiful alfresco space with a heated pool, covered dining and sitting areas and BBQ space designed to be enjoyed year-round.
BEDROOMS and BUNKROOM
The guest bedrooms and bunk room at Samudra House are designed with warmth, texture, and comfort at their core. Each guest room is a soft, inviting retreat—layered with natural materials, earthy tones, and thoughtful details that create a sense of grounded luxury. The bunk room, playful yet refined, offers a cosy haven for kids or extra guests, with custom-built bunks and tactile finishes that make it as stylish as it is functional. These spaces balance beauty with ease, ensuring every guest feels instantly at home.
WET AREAS
BATHROOMS, POWDER ROOM & LAUNDRY
The bathrooms at Samudra House are a tactile, tonal dream—where every surface invites touch and calm. Curved details soften the architecture, while microcement walls and heavily textured tiles add depth and dimension in the most subtle, sophisticated way. Rendered entirely in neutral tones, these spaces feel serene yet sculptural, creating a spa-like experience that blends minimalism with organic warmth. It's everyday ritual, elevated.
OFFICE, STAIRS AND ENTRY
The transition spaces at Samudra House are nothing short of architectural poetry. Defined by sweeping curves and bathed in natural light from expansive windows, these in-between moments become experiences in their own right. Sunlight dances across textured walls and sculptural forms, creating a dynamic interplay of light and shadow throughout the day. Far from merely functional, these spaces guide you gently through the home—connecting rooms with a sense of flow, softness, and effortless beauty.
