Ziggys’ Villas | Harley Graham Architects

Ziggy’s Villas in Byron Bay respond ingeniously to surging housing demand in a picturesque coastal locale. Situated just 50 meters from the beach on a 710m2 suburban plot, these interconnected residences exemplify a progressive strategy for achieving density. The project, featuring two 3–bedroom homes with individual gardens, pools, and garages, strikes a harmonious balance between maintaining Suffolk Park’s relaxed ambiance and meeting the need for increased density. Thoughtful design and strategic corner block utilization create distinct entities with separate street frontages. Built during the pandemic, cost–effective measures, such as blockwork and streamlined construction, were employed. The exterior showcases a solid textured red brick fence, enclosing a garden, plunge pool, and double–height outdoor room, fostering an open, inviting atmosphere that seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor spaces. Ziggy’s Villas exemplify commendable densification and neighborhood preservation amid a housing shortage.
