This home consists of two distinct types of masses:
very open curtain walled volumes and solid gable-ended, wood-shingled boxes. The solid
pieces contain private spaces - the bedrooms, an office, the media room - while the
transparent zones house the living, dining, and circulation spaces. Additional features
include recycled structural steel beams and columns, exposed glu-lam timbers used to
support the long spans, open steel-framed stair with bamboo treads, and a kitchen by
Ernestomeda, imported from Italy, with Caesarstone countertops. Located on a small
cul-de-sac of modern homes, the site is a stone's throw away from a suburban Boston
neighborhood recognized by the National Historic Register. The landscape has been
designed to create an extension of the adjacent forest.
