Stonington, Connecticut
This 200-acre working farm dating from the early 1800’s
was rescued from traditional suburban development by
progressive owners who recognized the immense value of its
ecological and cultural resources to the character of the town
and region. The project seizes upon artifacts of the site’s
agrarian and geological heritage—a drumlin, paddocks,
fields, and ponds—and engages a 600-foot-long granite
foundation wall to organize the entire domestic program,
generating a compelling dialogue between new interventions and the farm’s historical fabric.
