Nestled in the foothills of the Mt Lofty Ranges, this mid-century home traces back to 1966 when famed architect John Andrew envisioned it especially for a discerning Adelaide doctor. The result is an architectural marvel that boldly mirrors creative nuances of Frank Lloyd Wright's design, with the home boasting cantilevered rooflines featuring no visible supports, a daring defiance of conventions.
