SMAC STUDIO: Mirror Image
Armed with an enviable 'open brief', SMAC Studio approached the interiors of their remarkable Mirror Image project without creative restraint. Each space has a distinctly 'light' feel that is interspersed with the most exquisite use of coloured natural stone, which we further highlighted with a mix of high contrast and subtle tonal pieces.

“Our projects are typically more restrained in design so that they appeal to a wider market. So when it came time to work on his actual house, my client wanted something remarkable enough to appear in a design magazine, with a distinct European ethos and functionality to cater to his young brood.” – Shona McElroy SMAC Studio
As a unique sculpting of a private residence in Dover Heights, Mirror Image takes inspiration from its residents, conjuring a home of their own desired immersion. Reminiscent in parts of a hospitality or retail venue with its use of colour, the resulting home paves its own path, embedding character and charm whilst remaining conversant as a welcoming home. The balancing of the more saturated areas with the more structured and familiar ensures the functionality of the spaces remain whilst sharing in a sense of identity.
– The Local Project
“When it came to furnishing the space, the clients started off quite conservative with their choices, but as we got deeper into the process of designing, they got more excited.”
– Shona McElroy SMAC Studio
