INDIAN RIDGE | ANDOVER, MA

We transformed a 1950’s era ranch that lacked meaningful connection to the surrounding landscape with an Asian-inspired design that opened up the yard to it’s full potential. In the master suite, we opened up an exterior wall and installed a sliding glass door. Then, we strategically sunk the hot tub into a custom concrete vault and surrounded it with a beautiful cedar deck, allowing an unobstructed view to the golf course beyond. The deck is encompassed by slightly raised garden beds containing architectural boulders, sculptural trees, and minimalist plantings. The gardens transition to the linear granite pathways via a very fine gray aggregate creating a satisfying flow of materials.

The dining and grilling area is directly off the kitchen, so meal prep and al fresco dining is no hassle at all. The same indigenous 1’ x 3’ granite patio stone is arranged in a running bond pattern with an undefined and random edge creating a visually-interesting, graphic element.
