“Street
in the Woods”, Hanover, NH
In partnership with a metro-Boston developer,
Turnstone developed an innovative age-targeted housing concept for
a 500 acre site in Hanover, NH. The plan envisions tightly
clustered housing, organized as a traditional street, occupying less
that 10% of the site. Open meadows and the existing barn will
be leased to a local farmer, and the balance of the site will be
accessible by hiking and cross country trails, and protected
by a conservation easement. With an emphasis on full service living,
this community-oriented project will provide on-site management and
include a function space, business center, and art studio. Landscaping
will use native species and will seamlessly integrate into the natural
setting. The architecture will take its cues from the local
vernacular and will incorporate a broad array of green design elements.
