The design of this house is made by Finnis Architects with Carmel Iudica as an interior designer. Both interior and exterior of Quarry House are balanced with the natural materials and simple geometric design.

Catwalk

The catwalk on the upper floor is designed by a modern steel-and-glass railing and also a vertical wood-slat on its wall. This kind of design can connect the four bedrooms well.

Wash Basin

The wash basin is made from a stone supplier by BAMSTONE. The design of this unique wash basin can create a good connection to the environment and the natural materials inside the house.

Floor

The open floor in Quarry House can make a beautiful transition from the interior design to the house exterior. There are some large spans with natural materials extension that can connect the indoor and outdoor area.

Bathroom

The master bathroom is luxury with dark tiles, a soaking tube, and a floating vanity. The wood slates can create a beautiful appearance inside this bathroom just like some trees when you see it from the mirror.
