The external expression of the house is based on the above strategy. The public first floor is conceived as a glazed pavilion sitting on top of a masonry base, which contains the private accommodation. The pavilion is constructed with a standing seam zinc roof, glazed on the sides with views and panels of durable timber cladding. The masonry base is clad with natural stone matching the exposed rock face of the quarry. The first floor forms the public living accommodation with external terrace facing the sea, the ground floor contains the private bedroom and bathroom facilities and the lower floor contains the garage and main entrance. The base of the quarry is the only flat part of the site and this is used for car access and the entrance to the house.
