Sam Newman, a retired Australian rules football player, commissioned Cassandra Fahey to design this pop architecture home in 2000. It features a large patterned glass mural of the American actress and model Pamela Anderson, who gave her permission to use the image. The garage door opens at her mouth.
The house won the award for Best New Residential Building in the RAIA Victorian Architecture Awards. Newman sold the house in 2002. The most recent owners have placed it on the market in 2011 for an asking price of $1.5 million.
