**★★★★★ — User, July 2017**
> We worked with Gary and his team on a detailed restoration of a residence in Cambridge. Gary's attention and absorption of client lifestyle, wishes, and aesthetics was instrumental in the development of a renovation which brought the entire house together (From a few disjointed renovations from previous owners). Gary combined an appreciation for the historic nature of the property with updated elements which created a wonderful whole house.
> As a GC it was an enjoyable collaboration as Gary was also attuned to feedback we provided in the field in terms of site conditions and construction means and methods. Using our feedback to refine his designs and approaches to programming and finishes.
**★★★★★ — Brian Walsh, March 2017**
> I've had the pleasure of working with Gary and his team on several projects. Gary has the ability to balance the clients needs and the performance of the entire project team. Understanding the goals of project and keeping all stakeholders on track are key attributes to Gary's success.
**★★★★★ — Brian Cormack, March 2017**
> I have worked with Gary Wolf on a number of projects over the years as a supplier. Gary and his staff have always been great to work with from the initial schematic design phase right thru to the end result when the contractor hands over the keys. I look forward to working with him on a couple upcoming projects that are on the table now.

## Community Q&A
**Q: Chimney/Tower Material?** *(in Photo Questions)*
I love this so much. It's quirky but elegant. What is the material on the top of the tower or chimney?
A: Thanks very much for your comments and question!
The tower houses the stair and a small residential elevator, both of which rise from the ground floor up to a top-floor office and roof deck. The material is clear-finished cedar siding at the upper level, which then wraps around the back of that level so that when you're on the roof deck, you're sitting between the natural wood of the house and the trees beyond.
Those random-width cedar boards, as with the other siding, are milled from reclaimed lumber, provided by Armster Reclaimed Lumber in Guilford, Connecticut. Originally harvested in the 1940's and used in enormous juice tanks in Pennsylvania, the salvaged cedar from that era is a higher quality than new wood, and is also, of course, a sustainable product. (The other siding had first been used for bleacher seats in mid-century high school gymnasiums and for vinegar storage tanks!)
You didn't ask, but the red color of the random-width board and batten cladding was inspired by the Falun Red color found on vernacular structures throughout Sweden, from where the wife's family comes.
**Q: What's the material used for the water channel?** *(in Photo Questions)*
Is the top portion (the wall) act as a handrail as well? Must this be custom made prior to installation, or is it tweaked during the install process?
A: This wonderful water feature, of corten steel, was designed by landscape architect Julie Moir Messervy Design Studio, and fabricated by artist Peter Andruchow and sculptor Richard Duca. Yes, the water rill becomes a "hand rill" along the stairs that lead from upper garden to lower. All components were completely custom designed and built, with final adjustments made on site. Their design responded to the exact change in grade between the two levels of garden, the (limited) available space between the house and the property lines, and the goal of avoiding the mature existing trees and their roots. For more on the house and garden, see articles in Design New England (March/April 2015) and Garden Design (Spring 2015).
