A young family with a wooded, triangular lot in Ipswich, Massachusetts wanted to take on a highly creative, organic, and unrushed process in designing their new home. The parents of three boys had contemporary ideas for living, including phasing the construction of different structures over time as the kids grew so they could maximize the options for use on their land. They hoped to build a net zero energy home that would be cozy on the very coldest days of winter, using cost-efficient methods of home building. The house needed to be sited to minimize impact on the land and trees, and it was critical to respect a conservation easement on the south border of the lot. Finally, the design would be contemporary in form and feel, but it would also need to fit into a classic New England context, both in terms of materials used and durability. We were asked to honor the notions of “surprise and delight,” and that inspired everything we designed for the family. The highly unique home consists of a three-story form, composed mostly of bedrooms and baths on the top two floors and a cross axis of shared living spaces on the first level. This axis extends out to an oversized covered porch, open to the south and west. The porch connects to a two-story garage with flex space above, used as a guest house, play room, and yoga studio depending on the day. A floor-to-ceiling ribbon of glass wraps the south and west walls of the lower level, bringing in an abundance of natural light and linking the entire open plan to the yard beyond. The master suite takes up the entire top floor, and includes an outdoor deck with a shower. The middle floor has extra height to accommodate a variety of multi-level play scenarios in the kids’ rooms. Many of the materials used in this house are made from recycled or environmentally friendly content, or they come from local sources. The high performance home has triple glazed windows and all materials, adhesives, and sealants are low toxicity and safe for growing kids. Photographer credit: Irvin Serrano

Blue in the Night is a fascinating stone. It has subtle layers of black and grey in tight pattern. This gives it the edgy look of solid black without being as two dimensional as an Absolute Black Granite (and without the propensity for fingerprint mess). But what makes Blue in the Night Granite so utterly unique are the sparks of neon blue scattered throughout the stone that look like illuminated sapphires or blue stars in the night sky. This black granite has a fantastic polish and it's reflective quality picks up on any accent colors in the room. So if you add red to the room, you will see red in the stone etc. The edge profile is ogee edge in some places and half bullnose edge in others. The circular table / island is a wonderful touch as well.

Additional guest parking was added by installing a paver pad to the side of the existing circular driveway. To blend the new section of pavers with the existing asphalt, radiating bands of pavers were installed between sections of asphalt. Photography by Linda Oyama Bryan

The irregular-edge bluestone walk stands out from the greenery leading visitors to the recessed front door. The wide, smooth surface, low, orchestrated plantings, decorative urns and landscape lighting create an elegant entry in scale with the home and property. Photography by Linda Oyama Bryan
