Quarry House

QUARRY  HOUSE

The architects worked in collaboration with interior designer Tamara Honey, founder of House of Honey, to modernize a humble 1950s wood cabin set in a rock quarry between the Santa Barbara foothills and the Santa Ynez mountain range. Grand boulders surround this single-story residence with an enhanced wrap-around wood deck. A long hallway links both sides of the home, from the remodeled kitchen and living spaces to a new voluminous master suite addition.

Honey House reflects the artistic and Zen qualities of the area’s past—a place once inhabited by a collective of bohemian poets, writers, and artists—by maintaining original elements and reusing stone found onsite.
