Igloo House, Heritage residence in Mosman, New South Wales, Australia.
The residential building features twin-arched garages and a light concrete structure positioned on poles overlooking the waterfront cliff at Parriwi Road.
Architect Harry Seidler designed the residence for solicitor George Laurence Williamson, who emigrated from Britain and commissioned its construction between 1952 and 1953.
The structure stands as an example of post-war residential design, incorporating modern architectural elements that influenced Australian housing development in the 1950s.
Located at 65 Parriwi Road, the house implements flat-slab construction with specialized concrete that eliminated the requirement for substantial foundation work.
The engineering design by Peter Owen Miller introduced the first application of flat-slab construction methods in Australian residential architecture.
