"Ithaca Gardens" in Onslow Road was designed by the important post-war architect Harry Seidler and completed in 1960.
The architectural expression of concrete frame and brick infill is characteristic of Seidlers' residential work at this period.
All of its 40 apartments face the harbour and are shaded by recessed balconies and fixed awnings. The structural gymnastics of the folded concrete canopy that forms carports and the dramatic canopy above the main entry are an effective foil to the economical sobriety of the rest of the building.
