We integrated MEP lines directly within the raw concrete slab, ensuring the visual purity of the structure remains undisturbed while accommodating all necessary utility requirements. Designing a residence that mimics the raw beauty of a quarry requires a precise balance between monumental form and intimate living space. The Quarry House is an exercise in structural discipline, where heavy exposed concrete elements are contrasted by the transparency of glass and the fluidity of water bodies. The layout adheres to Vastu principles, a requirement that influenced the specific zoning of the cuboidal volumes. A defining element is the sliding wooden rafter wall separating the formal living area from the Puja room. This mechanism offers spatial flexibility, allowing the Puja room to function as a private sanctuary or as an extension of the larger living area during celebratory events. Strategically placed skylights bring natural light deep into the floor plate, casting shifting patterns of light and shadow across the black marble flooring and timber finishes. Our approach for this project focused on dissolving the boundary between the built environment and the site. The water body located in the northeastern corner acts as a thermal cooling element, essential for tropical modern architecture in Bengaluru. Even during the monsoon, the architecture performs; a structural metal beam functions as a conduit for rainwater, transforming a functional utility into a visual narrative. This project demonstrates our core philosophy: architecture is not about decoration, but about the honest expression of structure, material, and site context. ## About Crest Architects We are Vikas and Vishwas of Crest Architects. Our practice centers on the belief that architecture must be precise, honest, and deeply responsive to its environment. We craft spaces that balance bold, cantilevered forms with the tranquillity of nature.
