Once Murcutt has addressed the intricacies involved with the practical, social and spiritual side I think the aesthetic is left to speak for itself. Absolutely nothing can be made redundant in this house as it would appear too obvious something is missing, and whatever extensions added on will appear too obvious and seem like they shouldn't be there.
The House is inspired from the indigenous bark-shelters and draws upon their utility and purpose. Its form still follows this yet does so using western technology and modernist architecture.
What I think Murcutt is trying to achieve is a house that doesn’t become more important than the landscape, but settles in and humbly adopts its surroundings.
