Above: Adirondack stone serves as the veneer on the kitchen
counter whose top is Caledonia granite, which was also used for the
column caps and the stairs to the upper level (Inset).
Left: Natural cleft bluestone was selected as the paving material
throughout. The fire pit is a kit from RH Peterson, which was then
veneered with the Adirondack stone.
Colorful plantings also help offset the monochrome look.
One other challenge was drainage, which required numerous
slot drains and basins.
The Gardeners Landscape was involved with the masonry
including coping and veneer of the pool, stone wall, outdoor
kitchen and gas fire pit installations, all plantings, lawn work,
irrigation and lighting.
Easton Pools from Easton, Mass., installed the gunite pool
and spa. Architect Brad White designed the pool house and
Dahlen Construction from Duxbury, Mass., built it. Electri-
cians and plumbers were used for the pool house, fire pit,
kitchen, and pool installation.
In total, approximately 75 different people took part on
this project.
The upper and lower areas including the pool took ap-
proximately four months to build. The pool house and its
bordering landscape were installed the following spring and
took about five months.
