The existing residence will be removed and replaced with a new single-family home, carefully sited in a similar location to respect established patterns along the street. The property contains significant grade change, requiring a landscape strategy that works with the land rather than against it—shaping outdoor spaces through subtle terracing, refined grading, and integrated circulation.

The landscape design emphasizes continuity, privacy, and long-term resilience. Special paving at entries, walkways, and outdoor gathering areas creates a cohesive arrival sequence and frames everyday living spaces. Native, drought-tolerant plantings are layered to preserve existing vegetation where possible, strengthen buffers along property lines, and soften views to neighboring homes.

Stormwater management is seamlessly integrated into the landscape through coordinated grading, rain gardens, and planted infiltration areas designed in close collaboration with civil engineering. These features help mitigate runoff, protect abutters, and reinforce the site’s natural hydrology while maintaining a calm, garden-like character.

Outdoor amenity spaces—including patios and flexible lawn areas—are designed to feel both intimate and open, supporting family life while remaining respectful of the surrounding neighborhood. Walls, steps, and screening elements are carefully detailed to manage grade transitions and enhance safety without overwhelming the landscape.

The result is a refined residential landscape that restores this Wellesley property as a quiet, well-considered retreat—balancing architectural renewal with environmental responsibility and neighborhood care.
