A modern revival of a 1950s rock quarry cabin

Posted on Wed, 20 Nov 2024 by midcenturyjo

The project involved architects AB Design Studio collaborating with Tamara Honey, founder of House of Honey, to transform a modest 1950s wood cabin nestled in a rock quarry between the Santa Barbara foothills and the Santa Ynez mountains. Surrounded by massive boulders, the single-story home now features an expanded wrap-around wood deck. A central hallway connects the updated kitchen and living areas to a spacious new master suite. Named Honey House, the design captures the area’s artistic and Zen heritage—once home to bohemian poets, writers, and artists—by preserving original features and incorporating reclaimed stone found on the property.
