Grace Farms, a non-profit organization, is committed to providing a hiatus for its community members where they can connect with nature and one another. Stuart-Lynn worked with SANAA Architects to provide the Master Plan Estimates for the renovation of this 75 acre former horse farm. The project included the construction of new buildings and the renovation of existing buildings. The area contains a church, a library, a dining room, a gymnasium, as well as spaces for meetings and events. The most prominent new structure on Grace Farms is “The River.” With a length of 65,000 square feet and made of glass, steel, concrete, and wood, The River will flow from the sanctuary at Grace Farms’ Church throughout the property, connecting various ancillary areas, including the headquarters for the Grace Farms Foundation.
