Light House

Posted on Fri, 8 Dec 2023 by midcenturyjo

“Light House, Vaucluse: An award-winning project for a family who love Italian-inspired design. Described as ‘timeless and lovingly layered’ by Belle and ‘beautifully nuanced’ by Vogue Living.”

And why the name “Light House”? Yes, the design allows light to pour into the rooms through large windows and a central void, but look out the window and you might see another reason. Sophisticated contemporary living by Sydney-based Smac Studio.

Elm Residence

Posted on Tue, 28 Nov 2023 by midcenturyjo

“Elm Residence is an Edwardian style five bedroom residence with a contemporary extension that’s designed surrounds an established Golden Elm tree. The property provides an experiential journey through the flow of passage from one end to the other, bringing old and new sensitively together. The ‘old and new’ are connected by a timber lined link, with natural stone portals announcing the transition through from the original house. Elm Residence combines natural materiality and luxurious details, layered with art and objects that create a rich yet comfortable atmosphere.”

Coastal fusion

Posted on Mon, 20 Nov 2023 by midcenturyjo

Electric Bowery transformed this ocean-view home by infusing Coastal Spanish influences into its existing Mediterranean character. Emphasizing natural elements and contemporary art, they reimagined the opulent Tuscan style with a lighter touch. Mixing traditional architecture—like soft arched openings and natural plaster—with modern sculptural furniture and vibrant colours, they created a balanced, sophisticated space. Dark wood accents, oxblood tiles, and intricate terracotta flooring framed by Rosso Toscana Marble added depth, while vintage and custom lighting complemented the home’s blend of tradition and modernity.
