An avant-garde home bearing the signature of one of the most important names in Australian Architecture, built in the most prestigious strip of Floreat.
Refurbished and upgraded to meet the high standards of the modern family, it is one of the last remaining significant architectural projects in the Western suburbs, designed by the most highly decorated and awarded architect in WA, who designed homes built for Alan Bond, Peter Beckwith, Brian Coppin, Dallas Dempster and more.
G. Summerhayes' designs contributed a lot to Australian architecture, by introducing an international style to Australia. That is why Summerhayes' designs are still stunning and notable nowadays, especially the Summerhayes' house, Cliff House, and Wallace house because he tried to bring an international modernism to a much conservative Australia. Therefore, most of his projects described symmetry, spatial, delicate, and innovative architectural style.
