"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.
