Description

Lew French is a master stonemason who finds and gathers hundreds of individual stones to create a single fireplace or an outside stone wall that looks love it had been there for hundreds of years. Relatively than use a chisel, his stones have to fit together naturally; he remembers and fits them together in his mind’s eye. From a huge out of doors water feature at an place of work building near Boston, to a residential landscape on Chappaquiddick, to his own retreat home in the mountains of Brazil, each and every creation is breathtaking.

New to this second book on Lew French’s designs, are gallery-quality, framed art pieces, at a loss for words together from rock and driftwood, resulting in one-of-a-kind wall sculptures. Fans of natural building and a wide variety of masonry will be more than impressed.

Lew French is the designer, architect, and builder of his work. He has spent over 30 years working on Martha’s Vineyard, Boston, in the Adirondacks, and other Northeastern locations. He has built his own home in Brazil. He used to be inducted into the New England Design Hall of Fame in 2015.
