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

STRIKINGLY IN THE SPOTLIGHT – The kitchen as a part of the living room concept In precisely the same way as exquisite craftsmanship, clean-cut design demonstrates its quality even after many years. The accentuating effect of glass, metal and wood is underscored by super-matt finishes in elegant, dark colour shades. The iconic exterior meets intelligent organisation inside. A unique "TakeAway" system is particularly smart. Here, the pull-outs can each be removed and used anywhere in the room. Aesthetic appeal and functionality are therefore combined impressively. The sink row in FENIX stainless steel look super matt features a great deal of storage space and functionality. The pull-outs in the island are fitted with organisation systems and enable quick access.
