The project
MCK Architecture & Interiors designed Quarry-Box, a 235 m2 three-level home in Bronte, Sydney, completed in 2022. On a compact former quarry site, a steep rock escarpment defines almost two edges of the buildable area.
Little ground space led to a vertical house that reaches district and coastal views from the upper floors. The living spaces stay on the ground, opening on three sides to the rear garden so the rock face becomes the edge of the room, and a double-height void frames the escarpment and mature eucalypts.
