Before
Analysis :
An addition has doubled the square footage of this
two story cape, providing the needed living space
for the large family who lives here. The new
interior is open and inspired by a charming old
world aesthetic. Lawn dominates the immediate
vicinity, surrounded by the native ecosystem of
central Massachusetts.
A 15' hill separates the two parts of the structure
indicating an interesting change in topography,
and a circulation design challenge. An
underutilized entry to the front of the original
structure is nearly inaccessible, and the new main
entry is perched six feet above the driveway level,
supported by a temporary deck and staircase.

Program :
This garden embodies rhythm and harmony,
growing from a rocky hillside, framed by native
vegetation. Walking move us through the
experience. Resting within it engraves a sense of
permanence.
Radiating tangents of granite spiral up challenging
topography, each retaining the earth above it, and
together establishing an ascending or descending
rhythm. Lines indicate form by shaping the edges of
materials. Structural habits and limitations of stone
are explored to extend their confines.
