Text description provided by the architects. The exterior design embodies seemingly contradictory missions: creating an arresting presence to beckon visitors, while simultaneously not upstaging the building’s pristine environs at the periphery of an independent school’s campus. Sited at the bottom of a sloping landscape, between woods and wetlands on one side and a golf course on the other, the building presents a low and undulating profile. The 16,500-square-foot structure is capped by a vegetated roof that is the color of surrounding flora, helping it harmonize further with the landscape – almost disappearing from some vantage points.
