Following the opening of cool resorts on the sun-drenched tropical islands Gili Meno and Bali, former Ksubi designer George Gorrow and his life partner Cisco Tschürtschenthaler have shifted their focus Down Under where they pulled off similar magic with a surf-inspired property in Crescent Head, a coastal town 340 km (211 miles) northeast of Sydney, and a true surfer’s paradise. Situated just a stone’s throw from Killick Beach, an existing property has seen a thorough yet thoughtful renovation which has retained its historical architectural elements and unique eccentricities. Aptly named Sea Sea Hotel, the boutique hotel features just 25 rooms in four different categories, and for those who love to live large, there’s the super spacious Villa which offers not only two sleeping areas: a master bedroom with a king bed and private lounge, and a bungalow featuring a U-shaped sofa convertible into three king single bed.
Additionally, – but also comes with a lounge area, outdoor seating, progressive mini-bars, a private pool, and a garden. Each room has been meticulously designed to evoke the easy breezy vibe of 1970s Australian surf culture, featuring homey settings infused with wood, some of which artisan-produced furniture pieces, handcrafted textures, such as the rugs and tapestries, and last but not least, compelling photographs of legendary kneeboarder and lensman Peter Crawford, and collaborative art pieces by artisan surfers Ozzy Wrong and Aleph Geddis. Embedded in the Sea Sea Hotel concept is the Surf Club, a multi-dimensional space with a revolving programme of musical gigs, social gatherings, and art exhibitions. The space features a combined surf and souvenir shop, audio lounge, and fireplace, in addition to a signature restaurant and a bar. © superfuture

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
