Located on the top of a hillside, in one of the most established housing states of Valencia, the House of the Quarry is based on the extreme conditions of the ground with the aim of climbing the slope to get views to the landscape.

The layout of the house consists in a set of overlapping boxes surrounded by the. The house settles in the mountain using an empty space that isolates.The upper part, designed as a fluid space, contains all.The terrace and the pool have been designed as an extension of the interior that connects the house with the landscape.The swimming pool is a prism.That extends at heights overhanging the bedrooms and the gym.

The openness of the house is reinforced by a glass front façade without uprights that frames the panoramic view of the sea. By opening the views to the front and resting only on the sides, the House of the Quarry achieves a feeling of lightness and transparency, thus becoming a quiet place and linking with the horizon.

The expressivity of the raw materials shows the house as pure structure and mass. A hive of in situ white concrete is pierced by a central staircase of backlit yellow onyx Neve D’or that sew the house from top to bottom with its onyx steps. The overhang steps are expressed as large solid onyx boards that emit light all over their faces, this effect is produced due to a new patented design for its internal structure.The large backlit natural stone slabs give the house a tectonic character metaphorically linking to the inner depths of the earth. These pieces of volcanic onyx almost become sculptures, providing the bedrooms with a canvass to admire the aesthetic qualities of the natural stone.
