ARCHITECTS CASE STUDY
Located in Montecito , CA , Quarry House is set in a rock quarry between the Santa Barbara foothills and Santa Ynez mountain range . Grand boulders surround this single-story residence with enhanced wrap-around wood deck . A long hallway links both sides of the home , from remodeled kitchen and living spaces , to a new and 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 stones found onsite . Preserving its local heritage , the home also shares the same quarry stone as the nearby 1956-built Buddhist complex , designed by famed Santa Barbara architect Lutah Maria Riggs .
The retreat-like dwelling features expertly detailed , well-appointed interiors , including bright rooms with birch-veneered ceilings , custom cabinetry and woodwork , and hand-selected furniture . Large segmented windows offer 360-degree views of the surrounding oak forest . The architects added a stepped pathway and serene garden courtyard to connect the home to a new pool and guesthouse .
