A distinct geological sub-formation of granitic intrusions and eroded sedimentary patterns, the Wasatch Back is known both for its conservation values and recreational assets. Emerging from this setting, Quarry House provides a peaceful retreat for a family of outdoor enthusiasts, its poetic forms derived from the natural forces that inform its existence.

During site excavation, contractors unearthed a 400’-long sandstone escarpment, a geologic remainder commonly found in a sedimentary landscape shaped by wind and water. Instead of utilizing conventional and costly walls to hide and retain the unique landform, the landscape architect incorporated the natural ledge as the visual backbone of the home. Working with a team of geotechnical engineers, contractors, and surveyors, the landscape architect exposed the cross-stratified layers using specialized tools and hand techniques, turning an eyesore into a prominent visual feature that shelters outdoor spaces, reconciles challenging topography, and defines physical boundaries of the garden. When combined with a contextually appropriate native planting palette, Quarry House celebrates the natural history, materiality, and flora of this distinct region.
