This working farm was designed for the remarkable Martha Stewart. We collaborated closely on the overall design of the farm and the planning of the houses. The exquisite gardens, however, were entirely Ms. Stewart’s creation. The photographs show them in all seasons and demonstrate her genius. The integration of architecture and gardens is a truly extraordinary feature of this project. The core of Cantitoe Farm is a “village” of buildings, most of which already existed on the site. They were completely rebuilt from the foundation up. Sometimes even new foundations were necessary. The interior room arrangements were improved; new porches and, in some cases, additions were built; exterior elevations were refined and changes included new windows and front doors. The oldest building on the site was carefully restored from the ground up, and a new kitchen was added. A new metal and glass conservatory and a new stone horse stable, along with its related support buildings, were built on the site.

DuPont Hall (2002), a new research laboratory, together with Gore Hall, completes the master plan for the University of Delaware’s Historic Green created in 1917 by Charles Klauder, of Day and Klauder. The new building’s classical design is respectful of the adjacent Wolf Hall, the oldest building on the Green. The classical detailing continues through to the entrance lobby, with the rest of the interior emphasizing the technical aspects of the building’s laboratories. DuPont Hall contains state-of-the-art Class 1000 and Class 100 clean rooms; general laboratories for civil engineering; thin-film, synthetic, and instrument laboratories for materials science; and optical/ chemical characterization, growth device, and photolithography laboratories. The corridors on each floor are distinguished by different colors and floor patterns. The design is flexible in order to allow for future modifications, as equipment, programs, and requirements change to accommodate the rapidly evolving research requirements. Areas for viewing high-profile laboratory spaces are used as a major recruiting tool on campus tours, and informal gathering spaces foster interaction among the various disciplines.
