The Quarry House occupies a site that looks like it’s been scooped out of the mountain. It’s the old Bellevue Quarry from which came massive blocks of coarse Table Mountain granite for the building of Herbert Baker’s Rhodes Memorial in 1912. Three-bedroom, three-bathroom The Quarry House ‘grows’ out of it, rising vertically on a massive stone base through three floors until at its highest level it’s a deck that floats across the site. Up here it’s conceived as a series of wooden pavilions, which, because of their mullioned windows, appear even lighter than the wooden superstructure that supports them.
