A Note from Emily

Over the past few weeks, I have worked alongside Ryan Leary to create a video highlighting the stonework at 10 Irving Road, Weston, specifically, the chimney. A few highlights of this backyard oasis transformation - a custom spa and pool, cabana and lounge area, and statement pool house with floor-toceiling windows and elegant stonework. Our client's goal was to make this new construction pool house look like it was built hundreds of years ago, an old new house if you will.

Klod, our talented mason on the project, works each stone with a hammer and chisel, the way it has been done for thousands of years, to create a complex yet effortless facade. Ryan did a great job during the video; he was a natural on camera! I have attached a link to it below! In the coming weeks, we will be filming a video about the custom windows being flown in from Texas to be assembled and put in place on-site!

C E H A N N U A L R E T R E AT 1.23.23 On January 23rd, most of our team was able to gather for a day

of

collaboration

at

the

Connors

Center

in

Dover!

Discussing departmental and company strategies and goals for the year, it was a great time to reflect and grow together!
