Donna Seidler has completed the restoration of the Julian Rose House in Wahroonga, fulfilling a project started by her late husband, Brian Seidler. The 72-year-old modernist home was designed by renowned Australian architect Harry Seidler.

Brian Seidler, who served as the executive director of the Master Builders Association, had spent years working on the cantilevered structure with guidance from Greg Holman of Harry Seidler & Associates. Following Brian's death in March 2025, Donna Seidler chose to continue the restoration to preserve his legacy and protect a building regarded as part of Australia's cultural history.

The Julian Rose House is the second of three buildings designed by Harry Seidler for the family on the property, which also includes the heritage-listed Rose Seidler House.
