Harry & Penelope Seidler House

One of the highlights of 2006 was a visit by members of the Society to this truly outstanding house in a leafy part of Killara on Sydney's North Shore.

Led by the late architect's daughter, Polly Seidler, we were free to explore the interior and surrounds. We learned that the house was a collaborative project, Penelope Seidler also having trained as an architect.

Attention to detail was evident everywhere, with materials and finishes being of a very high standard. There was a masterful use of space, with large open plan living areas carefully separated from bedrooms, office, and study.

Design and completion 1966-1967.
Architects: Harry and Penelope Seidler.

N.B. Interior photographs were not permitted, as the house is occupied.
