Hemlock House
Private Residence
Cambridge, Massachusetts

 

Tucked into a quite Cambridge neighborhood with fantastic mature canopy trees stands an exquisitely crafted new shingle-style home surrounded by fantastic outdoor rooms. The spaces flow together, but can function on their own. Huge slabs of reclaimed Cape Ann granite and richly textured bricks form terraces, stairs, and walls. Sculptural shrubs create thresholds and gateways, while ornamental cherries, dogwoods, blue atlas cedar, oriental spruce, and honey locusts provide scale and dense privacy. A diverse palette of shade and sun perennials bloom from April through November, and antique garden ornaments thoughtfully embellish the garden.
