Granite Threshold and Bluestone Terrace

For this Boston-area former hunting lodge, featured in Outside the Not So Big House by Julie Moir Messervy and Sarah Susanka, JMMDS created a landscape design that anchors the house in the site and complements its Tuscan-inspired architectural update. Large granite thresholds at each entry serve as mini-overlooks, set half a foot above the bluestone terrace. The eye travels across the bluestone, to the granite breakfast terrace, and down to the pond below. Photo: Grey Crawford.
