Inside this unassuming ‘barn’ lies a breathtaking coastal retreat with cosy hidden nooks and a sparkling pool – and you won’t believe what the floor is made from

From some angles it may look like a brick and wood barn, but this home's rustic exterior hides a luxurious retreat with a breathtaking design and a multi-million dollar price tag.

The architectural masterpiece is located on a quiet street in the coastal town of Brunswick Heads, just north of Byron Bay and an hour south of the Gold Coast.

Centered around the country kitchen and dining room, the charming pad is open and airy with a loft-style layout. There are also a number of hidden reading nooks and sunken lounges for cozy evenings.

Inside is a mix of raw and natural materials from exposed brick, weathered wood, rusty iron and sleek concrete, while quirky details such as interior shutters, patterned tiles and creeping vines add to the character of the house.

The materials used have been recycled to give them a second life, from the hardwood floors made with 100-year-old telephone poles to the tin cladding that once formed the Brunswick Heads picture house and the wooden beams sourced from old bridges in Queensland and New South -Wales.
