The Seidler House was quick to raise eyebrows among the locals. Even during its construction, neighbors would do a double take at the house that sat in the middle of a bushland. There were six doors leading to the house interiors. One bathroom was lit only from above by a skylight, a new idea at that time that left the building inspector confused and bewildered.
The Gwathmey Residence is sculptural in appearance, paying homage to the works and ideals of Le Corbusier.With a painter dad and a photographer mom, Charles Gwathmey was certainly raised in an artistically inclined home. The Gwathmey Residence and Studio was completed in 1967. By then, Gwathmey had already set up his own design practice with a partner in New York City. Later on, he was commissioned to design the homes of famous figures such as Jerry Seinfeld, Steven Speilberg and David Geffen. Of all his works, however, it was his parents’ house that put him on the map. The Gwathmey Home is valued at $9.25 million today and is being sold on the market after having been carefully restored by its previous owners.
