Rose Seidler House

A new way of living

When completed in 1950, Rose Seidler House was ‘the most talked about house in Sydney’; today it’s an architectural icon. Designed by the young Harry Seidler for his parents Rose and Max, the house overturned almost every convention of suburban home design to create a bold and optimistic vision for a new way of living. The house today remains one of the finest examples of mid 20th-century modern domestic architecture in Australia, and its furniture and fittings form one of the most complete post World War II design collections in public ownership.
