This Newtown residence, sitting atop a sloping site, lacked comfortable outdoor living spaces. A new series of terraces, beginning just outside the main house, captures views of the surrounding landscape and provides the residents with more opportunities to enjoy their landscape. Pennsylvania bluestone paving and monolithic fieldstone steps are integrated with more naturalistic boulders, dry-laid walls, and plantings to create a rustic atmosphere. An oak and cypress pergola sits over a stone outdoor dining table, with site lighting to create the space for evening gatherings and parties.
