Influential architect Lazlo Peter Kollar (1926 - 2000) designed 18a Upper Cliff Road in the late 1970s, living there with his family for several years. Kollar was well known for his concept design of the Sydney Opera House, and his Design Principles, which were influenced by spiritual tradition. Kollar maintained a philosophy that architecture had a responsibility to facilitate human delight - a notion that is reflected beautifully in the layout of this unique residence and its ability to create a calming connection with the natural surrounds.
