    ROSS AND MONICA LARMER HOUSE - Physical Description 1

    A two-storey timber house, set well back on a native bushland site, overlooking Mullum Mullum

    Creek. A characteristically organic plan entirely shunning geometry, with rooms of extraordinary

    shapes, including many curved walls. The overall shape is a curve, embracing the north sun,

    culminating in the Y-shaped study over the D-shaped billiards room: an extraordinary invention.

    Construction is otherwise conventional, with hip corrugated steel roofs, over cedar weatherboards,

    and the use of large circular windows. The bushland garden is fastidiously cared for.

    It is comparable with other Burgess houses such as 58 Berrima Road (194.30), the Morrie Shaw

    house at Cottlesbridge and 37-39 & 41-43 Curry Road, by Robinson Chen (195.16 & 195.17) and

    also earlier houses by Kevin Borland.
