About

The new Farmstand is a curious structure that is at home in a New England landscape surrounded by historic homes and agrarian structures; it is a model for sustainable construction, demonstrating how buildings can be functional, beautiful and environmentally conscious by showcasing a unique blend of traditional and cutting-edge techniques.

A heavy timber pavilion floating in the landscape; the Farmstand is a place to gather entwined with nature. Capped with an iconic solar array and an ever-changing roof line that embraces the Farmstand below, it is enclosed with a wood curtainwall system with sliding glass panels that transform into an open-air structure during the warmer months. Back of house functions are clad in natural pine siding and a system of translucent sliding panels to bring light into work areas—opening and closing in response to weather, time of day, type of use or season.
