Alignments and tensions between client and architect, between shared environmental ambitions and local governmental conservatism, intensified Murcutt’s inherently disciplined method. The architecture developed is newly austere and abstract, this quality extending from the overall building and its situation to all material details.
In early sketches the project follows a familiar initial strategy: a north-facing pavilion organized as bays, larger rooms on the northern glazed side with service facilities to a principally closed rear. Angled roofing protects the building in summer, allowing winter sun access. In the eventual siting, unexpectedly, this house plan was rotated ninety degrees to align with an existing bush track, the latter incorporated as the building’s circulation. This kind of reorientation is unusual for Murcutt as the mechanisms of climatic control implied by his directional section are wedded to a northern aspect for their success. The new placement, however, offered a significant economy in allowing a single-storey building to be more easily constructed along the flatter site contours with minimal adjustment to the existing ground. It further oriented the pavilion outlook across a fall in the landscape.
