The Viennese-born architect Harry Seidler had already established an international reputation before he arrived in Sydney to design a house for his parents. Australia was then struggling out of post-war austerity and Seidler's uncompromising, modernist building-nestled in natural bushland-aroused much controversy. Now managed by the Historic Houses Trust, the interior has been restored to its original, 1950s scheme and contains a major collection of furniture inspired by the Bauhaus Movement. Well worth a trip to Sydney's leafy upper North Shore.
