At the end of a long, meandering drive stands High Meadow, a traditional-style house that, although quite new, has just enough architectural age to make it look as though it has been a part of its idyllic setting forever.
Perched at the top of a 6-acre site in Massachusetts that’s bounded by woodlands, the house surveys its surroundings, which have been newly transformed by Dan Gordon Landscape Architects, the award-winning firm based in Wellesley.
The owners, a couple with young children who have made this house their primary home, wanted to create living areas in the landscape where they could entertain, engage in outdoor activities, and simply lounge after a long day at work.
On the undeveloped land, they envisioned a swimming pool with a spa, a terrace, a seating group around a fire pit, a flower-filled meadow, and an expanse of green space where the children could run and play.
Dan Gordon Landscape Architects collaborated with award-winning, Boston-based Patrick Ahearn Architect, which designed and built a traditional-style pool house and a sports barn on the property that are in sync with the architecture of the main house.
