Summary

In Conclusion, even though Geoffery Summerhayes was not as much of a famous architect in the 19th century, his designs contributed a lot to Australian architecture at that time, by introducing an international style to Australia. That is why Summerhayes‘ designs are still stunning and notable nowadays, especially the Summerhayes’ house, Cliff house and Wallace house. Different people have different ideas and opinions because some people thought his designs were not suitable for the 19th century, because he tried to bring an international modernism to a much conservative Australia.[1] Therefore, most of his projects described symmetry, spatial, delicate and innovation architectural style.
