Architectural Wonder along The Great Ocean Road
As our car wound its way along the Great Ocean Road, a striking sight emerged on the rugged coastline - a building seemingly suspended in mid-air, perched precariously on a cliff with sweeping views of the ocean below. This was the Pole House, an iconic architectural landmark near Fairhaven, Victoria, and one of the most photographed homes in Australia.
A little research revealed its fascinating story. Built between 1972 and 1978 by engineer Frank Dixon, the original structure was supported by a single massive concrete pole - a daring feat of design and engineering. Rising 13 m above the ground, the house is accessible only via a narrow concrete bridge, giving the sensation of walking into a space that floats above the sea. Bold and unconventional, the Pole House remains a celebrated example of architectural audacity on the Great Ocean Road.
