Rose Seidler House: Built between 1948 and 1950, Rose Seidler House is one of Australia's most uncompromising modernist homes. With glass walls and a sun-filled deck, there are panoramic views of Ku-ring-gai National Park from almost every corner of the house. The house has been restored to its original scheme, with 1950s furnishings and objects.
