Waban Hilltop Residence

Perched on a Waban hilltop, this residential landscape takes full advantage of its spectacular overlook.

IDDLA developed an overview plan for the property to best locate a new garage, an outdoor dining room, and entertaining spaces; maximize playable lawn area; and facilitate vehicular and pedestrian access while providing privacy on an exposed corner lot.

Our design features a firepit and dining terrace that overlooks the neighbor's vernal pool and steps and a path make for easy circulation between garage, mudroom and kitchen. By combining fieldstone and bluestone with tropical hardwood, our design exudes the warmth and ease of this family's lifestyle. The wood-clad bench offers a comfortable seat wall perch and features an internal light source, adding an ambiance and glow to evening entertainments. IDDLA provided support throughout the phased construction, some of which was owner-built.
