One of the places we went yesterday
We kind of just stumbled on this Historic Houses Trust open house when we were driving around yesterday. The house is Rose Seidler House and is described as:
One of the finest examples of mid-century modern domestic architecture, the house contains a collection of original furniture by important post-war designers Eames, Saarinen and Hardoy.
Awarded the Sulman Medal in 1952, it has been a highly influential house, stimulating much social comment and intellectual debate. The house, contents and grounds have been carefully restored to the controversial 1950 scheme.
Here are some of the photos I took:
Unlike a lot of historic houses, this place had a really warm, welcoming feel to it. We just wanted to move right in! It was in a beautiful setting too - right on the edge of a national park. The reason my son has no shoes on in the last picture was that he had been running around in the bush with a Bush Turkey. He also confessed later to having used one of the toilets!
