03: BROUGHAM PLACE
Another gem from Smart Design
Studio, Broughham Place is
part-offi ce and part-home. Located
in Sydney’s Potts Point, the project
consists of two concrete boxes
perched on a salvaged sandstone
wall. Louvre blades in myriad colours
add a pop of colour to the industrial
façade of both structures, which
conceal a Zen secret courtyard in
the middle. Photography by Ross

Deceptively simple, there’s far
more to the Elwood Residence
than meets the eye. Designed by
SJB, the cantilevered upper fl oor,
clad in aluminium slats, sits above
an unassuming lower fl oor, which
holds up the storey above loud
and proud. Taking cues from a
contemporary Japanese ethos, the
home’s appearance transitions into
that of a fl oating lantern when lit up
at night — certainly a thing of beauty.
