Enlightened Rationalism is an appropriate architectural and philosophical approach to Boambilly House. Its rational square and linear rectangular form require respect and admiration for its purist simplistic form which eliminates confusion and personifies traditional qualities of home in the idea of security and safety. Boambilly is almost monolithic in form which exudes strength and confidence which leads to the idea of the relatively artificial form of the house being contrasted with the organic natural forms of the Yosemite National Park. In designing of Boambilly house, I seek to explore the idea of an art collector’s house, not only being a canvas to showcase art, but become in itself a form of sculptural art to be admired. 

​

The linear lines of the house lead itself to a rigid floor plan, which will allow me as the architect and designer to curate the experience of the occupants. For me to guide them through an experiential journey of movement through the house and my vision of the space, leading them into my internal universe and triggering the experience of the interior design on a latent level within themselves. Overall the vision of Boambilly house is to be the exploration of minimalist sculptural form and pushing the functionality of rooms to become an exploration of experiences within themselves.
