In the hands of premier builders and landscape<br />
professionals, rugged design elements take on a<br />
heightened sophistication.<br />
Mudroom with a tack-room feel... Part of an addition<br />
to a Carlisle farmhouse, this generous mudroom by<br />
Merz Construction abuts an existing antique barn. Rich<br />
yet utilitarian, the space certainly doesn’t come off as<br />
new construction; its salvaged barn board and slate floor<br />
are seamlessly integrated within the 200-year-old home.<br />

Meandering stone path… Comprised of salvaged<br />
New England fieldstone steppers and Goshen stone,<br />
and flanked by natural fieldstone walls, this resplendent<br />
walkway, designed by Gregory Lombardi Design, makes<br />
a gentle descent from the main home to a secondary<br />
residence and recreational building. Its plant palette uses<br />
a mix of native and ornamental plantings, including a variety<br />
of edible plants, and was tailored to the light and land<br />
conditions of its terrain. Landscape architecture: Gregory<br />

Intimate family room and hearth… This granite hearth<br />
warms a transitional sitting room/family room in a Lexington<br />
home crafted by custom builder Brookes + Hill<br />
Custom Builders. Its hearty presence serves as a counterpoint<br />
to the space’s moss-green, clean-lined cabinetry,<br />
anchoring the environs and bringing a quiet sense of<br />
permanence. Builder: Brookes + Hill Custom Builders,<br />

Hardy granite outdoor bar… Granite State landscape<br />
design/build company Pellettieri Associates, Inc. takes its<br />
cues from nature, and this monolithic stone bar with an<br />
embedded grill seems to have emerged from the ledge<br />
surrounding Lake Sunapee. As shown by this sturdy and<br />
stunning hardscape, Pellettieri Associates, Inc. relies heavily<br />
on native granite when sourcing its enduring, sustainable<br />
projects. Builder/designer: Pellettieri Associates, Inc.,<br />
