By Finnis Architecture & Interiors
The Quarry House is a timeless four-bedroom family home on a corner site in the heart of Brighton, Melbourne.
The design incorporates Bluestone tiles on both the interior and exterior of the house, a contemporary adaption of a material that was historically utilised in Victorian-era buildings. Being a natural and aged material immediately integrated the new build into its context, giving the feeling of a home that has been there for years and will be for many to come.
