Bruceden Court (flats) |
| Registered Name |
Bruceden Court (flats) |
| Significance |
Bruceden Court (flats), constructed in 1940-1941, demonstrates an important evolution in the way South Australians lived during the twentieth century by providing the middle class with a popular alternative to conventional detached housing. Bruceden Court (flats) possesses many of the key features of purpose-built interwar flats and was one of the last such developments to be built before the Second World War halted the construction of dwellings. As such, Bruceden Court (flats) demonstrates the increasing sophistication of purpose-built interwar flat design over time and is an uncommon and high-quality example of this new, modern way of living.
Designed by architect, Gordon Beaumont Smith, Bruceden Court (flats) is an outstanding example of interwar streamlined architecture articulating many key attributes of the style. The design also demonstrates a high degree of aesthetic accomplishment that responded directly to public concerns about flats. The asymmetrical massing and variation of elements and features creates the impression of a single, large residence, allowing Bruceden Court (flats) to conform to its residential context more successfully than many other examples. |
