This house is discreetly tucked into its wooded site in the Mad River Valley near the Sugarbush Resort in Vermont. The soaring roof lines complement the slope of the land and open up views though large windows to a meadow planted with native wildflowers. The house was built with natural materials of cedar shingles, fir beams and native stone walls. These materials are complemented with innovative touches including concrete floors, composite exterior wall panels and exposed steel beams. The home is passively heated by the sun, aided by triple pane windows and super-insulated walls. Photo by: Nat Rea Photography

Located in the Preston Hollow neighborhood of Dallas, Texas, this project creates a welcoming driveway and arrival area that leads to a relaxing outdoor living area with natural pool shape with bluestone decks and unique boulders. The garden also features a covered pavilion, fireplace, decorative iron gates, steps stones, lush landscaping and shade arbor. Completed with Naud Burnett & Partners.

The generous patio areas around this pool are useful when entertaining large groups. The pool deck and other walkways and terraces are finished in custom beige Patterned Concrete with a rock skins texture defined by random rectangular saw cuts to give it a classic modern look.

This pool and spa combination has an Infinity Edge. The spa is raised slightly with a Negative Edge that overflows into the infinity gutter system. Both inside coping and tile are Black Absolute Granite with a honed finish. Outside coping is 2’ x2’ Bluestone pavers and both pool and spa are finished with a Black Galaxy Pebblefina.

A clean-cut bluestone border frames a rectangular lawn and echoes the soft lines of boxwood hedges in the distance. The line of thermal bluestone expands to form a dining patio where a table of warm ipe wood makes a striking centerpiece. Across the lawn, a zinc fountain draws the eye and ear, serving as a focal point for the outdoor room. Photo by George Dzahristos.
