The Lantern Studio is set beside a traditional Dutch Colonial home in Wellesley.

The building is placed behind a spectacular glacial erratic boulder and becomes the focal point of the backyard entrance. Low grasses are planted around the boulder, in keeping with the manicured gardens typical of the neighborhood.
