Designed by Czech-born architect Alex Jelinek (designer of the Peregian Roadhouse) for Professor Bruce Benjamin and his wife Audrey, The Benjamin House—also known as the Round House—is a landmark of post-war modernist architecture in Australia. Completed in 1957, the house is celebrated for its bold circular form and geometric complexity. This design won Architecture and Arts magazine's 'Australian House of the Year'(1958).
