Gladswood House, 19th century residential mansion in Double Bay, Australia
Gladswood House spans three acres of land, featuring Gothic Revival architecture with stone gate pillars facing New South Head Road.
Samuel Deane Gordon commissioned architect William Munro to build this residence between 1860 and 1862 on the former Point Piper Estate.
The mansion incorporates elements of Gothic Revival design, including asymmetrical facades, detailed stonework, and Australian architectural influences from the colonial period.
The property contains multiple living spaces, including a dining room, ballroom extension, cellar, servants' wing, and numerous additional rooms spread across two floors.
The residence underwent three name changes: initially Seaforth House, then Glenyarrah, and finally received its current name under John Spencer Brunton's ownership in 1913.

Dutch architect Winy Maas, co-founder of MVRDV, designs buildings that experiment with form while keeping everyday function central. His work spans Europe and Asia, creating homes, cultural spaces, and offices that stand out in their cities. Each project responds to what a place needs, refusing to apply one solution everywhere. Rotterdam hosts two of his most recognized buildings: Markthal, where housing sits above a market hall, and Depot Boijmans, a public art storage building that lets visitors watch conservators work. Amsterdam's Silodam and WoZoCo's apartments show how he thinks about bringing different people together. Further afield, the Mirador in Madrid and Baltyk Tower in Poznań prove his approach works across languages and climates. Walking past these buildings, you notice they refuse to blend in. Some lean and tilt, others have grass roofs or unusual window patterns. The Book Mountain in Spijkenisse is a library shaped like a mountain. The Balancing Barn in Suffolk appears ready to tip over. These are not buildings that whisper. They speak directly to the spaces and people around them, becoming part of how their cities feel and work.
