rose seidler house
Rose Seidler House is one of Australia's most famous buildings and one of its most unusual. The house is the work of architect Harry Seidler, who had the idea already sketched before he even set foot on Australian soil.
Completed in 1950, Rose Seidler House immediately created a sensation. The house featured glass walls, asymmetrical composition, cubic shapes and a flat roof; this was architecture unlike anything built in Australia before.
Rose Seidler House won the RAIA Sir John Sulman Medal for 1951, one of the most prestigious awards in Australian architecture and the first of five he won. Harry Seidler was 28 years old. Bringing international modernist ideas and methodology, he almost immediately influenced the shape of local architecture to come.
