Jakl's spaceship
When you’re in Canberra, it could be worth dining out on Red Hill at architect Miles Jakl’s 1964 spaceship restaurant, reopened in 2007 as Onred . The Oz reckon the lamb’s liver is worth checking out, if you’re into that kind of thing.
From what I can tell, Miles is still practicing in Los Angeles. Canberra House says the building was extended at some point by Enrico Taglietti.
[ 2023 update: it looks like the restaurant closed in 2022 ]

Further on Miles Jakl, his only other commission in Canberra was a fine house in Deakin for the restaurateur owner of the above building, which he designed in 1967 prior to moving to LA.
I am ver grateful to see my father’s legacy live on in the wonderful structures that he designed. He was very prolific, very gifted as a visionary and true artist and had the amazing talent of integrating his artistic concepts with total functionality and practicality. his clients loved him as an architect and as a humble, kind and gentle person, always anxious to please them. He is very much missed RIP
