Harry and Penelope Seidler House

The house extends across four half-levels connected by a central staircase, following the natural slope toward a creek and waterfall at the base.

Harry and Penelope Seidler designed and constructed their family residence between 1966 and 1967, receiving the Wilkinson Award from the Royal Australian Institute of Architects.

The residence displays Norwegian quartzite stone floors, Tasmanian oak ceilings, and furniture pieces from Marcel Breuer, Eero Saarinen, and Charles Eames collections.

The 400-square-meter structure includes living spaces, bedrooms, a library, studio, utility area, guest suite, and a swimming pool added in the 1970s.

The house features three rows of vertical reinforced white concrete block piers supporting suspended concrete floors, creating open vertical spaces throughout the levels.
