The Quarry House Skyrise Competition Collaboration Ww2022

Stone as a material has been historically important in architecture, however the damage the quarries leave behind has bean a contemporary issue. Dalabole State Quarry, Cornwall was once the largest manmade hole until recently. Through our site visit, it was found that Dalabole lacked a tourism industry as well as any other outside of its slate identity. Delabole has recently had an increase in young adults settling due to COVID-19 and many companies supporting home working. However Delabole is a 45 min drive from the nearest station making it very inaccessible to larger cities.

By designing a skyscraper in the quarry we would bring new opportunities to outreach in the North of Cornwall in a smaller footprint. These would house a swimming pool, health centre, lego discovery centre, hotel, coworking spaces, a mall, rateuranta, cafés and entertainment facilities. The Quarry House is another testing playground for a future of where skyscrapers exist in abnormal location rather than clustering in city central district and questioning their necessary in future city.

The Quarry height is 95m from our selected ares to the height of the trail path around the Quarry From there the tallest windmill is 50m giving us a work area of 145m, perfect for a skyscraper.
