Inspiration for a small traditional partial sun front yard landscaping in Boston for spring.

The entry from this house frames the view all the way through to the back with the beautiful pool and back terrace. The dining room lies to the right and the study is to the left with the great room directly ahead. The beautiful artwork shown to the right is printed on a steel pattern which provides a beautiful reflection from the light at the front door.

The objective of this award-winning gut renovation was to create a spatially dynamic, light-filled, and energy-efficient home with a strong connection to Long Island Sound. The design strategy is straightforward: a gabled roof covers a central “spine” corridor that terminates with cathedral ceilinged spaces at both ends. The relocated approach and entry deposit visitors into the front hall with its curvilinear, cantilevered stair. A two-story, windowed family gathering space lies ahead – a straight shot to the water beyond. The design challenge was to utilize the existing house footprint and structure, while raising the top of foundation walls to exceed new flood regulations, reconfiguring the spatial organization, and using innovative materials to produce a tight thermal envelope and contemporary yet contextually appropriate facades.

Even as an intimate greeting space, the foyer offers visitors an impressive view of what lies ahead. Repeating materials and a neutral color scheme give the home a sense of flow that feels as natural as the surfaces themselves. Bobbie found the vintage Turkish rug at auction, while the sideboard was inherited from Matthew's grandmother. With regard to the home's nearly pristine interior, there was not much work to be done. "Making [the house] ours was really a process of filling it with things we love, and not modifying the existing structure," says Bobbie. Adrienne DeRosa Photography © 2013 Houzz
