Inspiration for a mid-sized contemporary partial sun backyard stone formal garden in Louisville for summer.

Each garden room has a distinctive floor treatment for both design aesthetics and for safety. Pavers laid in a grid pattern were used at the cook station and dining area, separated by a herringbone Holland paver at the bar level. Full range bluestone was used for the sunken living room with an outer border of pavers. Photography by Linda Oyama Bryan

Even while large enough to accommodate frequent parties, this outdoor living area is intimate enough for a cozy drink for two.

Here you can see the pattern of the square cut blue stone patio very well. These pieces are pre-cut when we get them and make a nice formal look to a patio. For the steps we used large 6' long blue stone steps. You can also see the custom planter box very well. Each one of those pieces on the side of the box were hand cut and mortared onto the side of the constructed box.

The combination of wood and stone gives this outdoor dining space a new life. It provides shade and privacy while still being open and inviting.

This house west of Boston was originally designed in 1958 by the great New England modernist, Henry Hoover. He built his own modern home in Lincoln in 1937, the year before the German émigré Walter Gropius built his own world famous house only a few miles away. By the time this 1958 house was built, Hoover had matured as an architect; sensitively adapting the house to the land and incorporating the clients wish to recreate the indoor-outdoor vibe of their previous home in Hawaii. The house is beautifully nestled into its site. The slope of the roof perfectly matches the natural slope of the land. The levels of the house delicately step down the hill avoiding the granite ledge below. The entry stairs also follow the natural grade to an entry hall that is on a mid level between the upper main public rooms and bedrooms below. The living spaces feature a south- facing shed roof that brings the sun deep in to the home. Collaborating closely with the homeowner and general contractor, we freshened up the house by adding radiant heat under the new purple/green natural cleft slate floor. The original interior and exterior Douglas fir walls were stripped and refinished. Photo by: Nat Rea Photography
