Elysium
Lateen Lane | Byron Bay NSW
2014

ELYSIUM brought together a team of creative professionals driven by a desire to activate under-utilised urban spaces and transform them into places of wonder and beauty. The project’s aim was to uplift and enliven a key CBD site through a curated application of colour, pattern, light, form, texture and planting–integrated with existing structures and in collaboration with tenants and building owners.

A transformation project of this scale and calibre is a first for Byron Bay. ELYSIUM intentionally moved away from traditional imagery associated with the area and instead aimed to provide locals and visitors with something entirely different–an immersive and contemporary art experience.
