我们公司在波士顿以外的这个占地12英亩的土地上从事了几年，当时客户决定用更大的替代现有的希腊复兴之家。 客户与该空间的历史以及我们自己的历史强烈地影响了设计。 目标是平衡正式和自然主义的元素，创造出感受到传统和现代的空间。 该设计涵盖了不同的地形，并保留了成熟的标本树。 丰富的纹理花岗岩墙壁和楼梯定位与房子相邻的花园空间。 这些大胆，简单的花园将建筑的规模和几何尺寸延伸到景观中，与柔软的树木繁茂的环境相比。 玩草坪，游泳池，室内和室外网球场，沿着蜿蜒曲折的路线，满足客户对充足休闲空间的渴望。 

Our firm had been engaged on this 12-acre property outside of Boston for several years when the client decided to replace the existing Greek Revival house with a significantly larger one. The client’s history with the site, as well as our own, strongly influenced the design. The goal was to balance formal and naturalistic elements, creating spaces that felt both traditional and contemporary. The design embraces the varied topography and preserves mature specimen trees. Richly textured granite walls and stairs define garden spaces adjacent to the house. These bold, simple gardens extend the scale and geometry of the architecture into the landscape and contrast with the soft, wooded surroundings. Play lawns, a pool, and indoor and outdoor tennis courts, tucked along a meandering drive, fulfill the client’s desire for ample recreation spaces.
