Delight is attained through varying means and is based on the collective experiences of an individual.
In the case of the Marika-Alderton house delight is achieved through the simplicity in which the requirements of the clients brief were achieved. Glenn Murcutt utilised basic design principles in an efficient manner to create a structure that was alligned with its surrounding environment. The resultant forms of the structure are in direct reponse to its environmental responsibility, rather than a pursuit of aesthetic appeal.
It is this approach that instills delight in the viewer, not of visual stimulation, but of marvel at the efficiency in which the final design was concieved.
