Quarry Hotel
Sixty rooms stepped down the face of an abandoned marble quarry.
01Concept
Rather than hide the scar, the hotel inhabits it. Terraces follow the old cutting benches so the building reads as the final, quiet chapter of the quarry.
Brief
A sixty-key hotel with a spa and restaurant, reusing extracted stone for all new structure.
02Design challenges / Design solutions
Design challenges
Unstable rock faces and falling-stone risk.
Design solutions
The terraces double as catch benches, stabilising the face while forming guest balconies.
Design challenges
Heritage protection on the scarred landscape itself.
Design solutions
Offcuts left on site become walls, paving and furniture — nothing leaves by truck.
