As part of our one year wedding anniversary celebrations my thoughtful husband surprised me on our way to Sydney with a visit to Rose Seidler House.
This is my type of House. I was coveting the Mid Century Furniture and wondering if anyone would notice if we carried eight 'Eames' dinning chairs out to our car...they would look fantastic around our dinning table.
The house is only small but the full height glass windows in each room and the open plan make it feel so spacious. One of the finest examples of mid-century modern domestic architecture, the house contains a collection of original furniture by important post-war designers Eames, Saarinen and Hardoy.
Rose Seidler House was the first commission for internationally renowned architect Harry Seidler. It was built in 1948-50 for his parents Rose and Max, who lived there until 1967. The house retains a close relationship with two neighbouring Seidler houses on part of the original 2.6 hectare family estate of natural bushland overlooking the Ku-ring-gai National Park.
Definitely worth a look if you are in the Wahroonga area on a Sunday.
Thanks Luke for being a great listener.
