Amy Smucker Photography - The house has doors at opposite ends of the four sides to utilize natural breezes to cool the house during the mild months. A metal roof on the wrap around porch keeps hot summer sun from beating down on the comfortable rocking chairs. The field stone porch floor helps keep the space under the porch roof cool. The exterior is made to withstand the elements for years to come with field stone porch floor, Hardie-plank, stone veneer accents, Azek trim and metal roofing on the lower pitched porch roof. One of the principals of Bremen Builders originated, provided design assistance and managed the entire process of building a partial shell while associated with another firm. Clients decided to follow aforementioned principal to Bremen Builders to complete all interior and some exterior finish work.

Finally, some color, but still waiting for other trees/ plants to show off. We see great detail with the pool coping, retaining wall veneer, pavers and waterfall.

This is an example of a traditional front yard flower bed in New York for spring.

Japanese teahouse with corrugated metal roof and bamboo back screen. Designed for sitting on cushions.

The 275 square foot swimming pool was finished with a Wet Edge pebble finish and flagstone coping and features a circular raised spa with waterfall spillover and a secret bench under the waterfall. The boulder walls and native landscaping tie seamlessly into the gorgeous field stone waterfall and view of the golf course.

A range of different sizes and shapes, specifically for the waterfall- each piece is marked and its orientation. The others are to appear as natural outcroppings, scattered boulders for the rear landscape. The staging area is the old driveway, pre- demolition.

In the shower, the waterproofing Schluter system was installed on the walls and floor. A custom 3 panel style frameless shower door with brushed nickle finish hardware. Mirasol 10x14 polished wall tile in Crème Liala with random forest marble mix for the shower floor. Mosaic wall border and back of niche in Sanaa Gendai natural random mosaic. A multi-function shower head with 2 Gianna body sprays were installed in the shower. Brooke 4 light bath bar in antique nickel with etched opal glass with matching pewter robe hook, towel bar accessories. A pocket door was installed.

The building orientation and glazing work to balance the competing goals of optimizing solar gain and addressing long views eastward to Mt. Monadnock.
