The Villa Byron
Pacifique on Pacific

Built over several years and completed in 2016, Pacifique on Pacific is the culmination of years of collecting and careful dedication of a master builder.

​

Carefully selected antique furniture, fixtures and fittings were collected over years to build into the home, bringing a feeling of character and worldliness that is remarkable in a new property.

​

Featured in the Design Files, Pacifique is a designer's heaven. Sprawled over three distinct levels, each draws inspiration from the best of European styling - from Greek Villa, to French Provincial, to Scandinavian Industrial, coming together with a uniquely Australian touch.  

 

The villa is a work of art, having been built around the recycled and antique fixtures and fittings, including nine sets of matching antique doors from the Rockhampton Pub, 100 year old 6 inch hoop pine flooring from central QLD, matching antique wooden sash windows from a grand Murwillambah estate, an antique front door from Eastern Germany.  The list goes on...

​

The open country-style kitchen has been lovingly built around the antique map drawer island bench, with a double European ceramic farmhouse butler's sink, a Parisian armoire made from old European doors as a kitchen pantry, and the entrance hallway features an antique linen cupboard and original pigeon hole shelves sourced from the old post office in Brisbane.

​

The stunning 80 main living room on the second floor features rustic timber ceiling, with reclaimed wood exposed beams plus collared living boards​ and warehouse posts from the old Casino hardware store, giving a feeling of a typical Australian woolshed of yesteryear.

​

The three designer bathrooms, one on each level, feature original clawfoot baths, antique Spanish and French encaustic tiles, exposed copper/brass piping and an old Turkish marble sink in the master ensuite.

​

Downstairs guests will discover original doors salvaged from the Queen Victoria Building in Sydney, with the flexibility of two rooms and a full sized bathroom able to be separated from the main house if desired.  A suspended concrete slab between the floors ensures peace and privacy.

​

With over 450m2 of indoor/outdoor living space the property has ample room to accommodate large numbers of guests in perfect comfort.
