The Thousands

"A wormhole is a hypothetical topological feature of spacetime that is fundamentally a ‘shortcut’ through space and time."

When you visit the Rose Seidler House, you feel like you’ve travelled through a wormhole. It has been restored to its original 1950s glory, modernist furniture and all. Set amongst the beautiful backdrop of Ku-ring-gai National Park, it really is like you’ve left Sydney and travelled back in time.**Designed by architect Harry Seidler, the house was built for his parents, Max and Rose, in 1948-1950. It attracted a huge amount of media attention at the time – both good and bad – with one piece in particular stating that "houses with legs frightened Sydney homeseekers". The house now serves as a museum for one of the most important post-war design collections in Australia.
