Design considerations

Stone walls and generous steps resolve elevation changes while maintaining clear movement and strong sight lines through the property.

The project

Grade changes become part of the design.

This Hingham project uses natural-stone retaining walls and broad steps to organize changing elevations into a deliberate sequence, with cooking and fire features placed within the upper gathering terrace. Planting, lawn and masonry work together rather than reading as separate additions.

What shapes the space
