A WATER NARRATIVE
Boston’s history is inextricably intertwined with the water
that surrounds it. Not only its economy, but also its history
of development is linked to the ways in which it has utilized

COREEN SCHMIDT
this resource.This relationship is the central theme of the
master plan for Church Street Plaza, which breaks down
the Boston’s successive stages of growth as it encroached
ever further in to the salt marshes, wetlands, and open
bays that marked its watery boundary. Each of these
stages is represented within the site as an interlocking
“island,” taking the visitor through the progression and
highlighting the cyclical nature of the process. In breaking
down these elements of Boston’s history, and the ways
in which it was linked to the exploitation of its water,
the Church Street Plaza provides a commentary on our
CHURCH STREET
past that is equally relevant to the environmental issues
facing development today. However, through the use of
diverse materials, microclimates and creative elements, “The Forest – Nature Stage Birch Grove
the space proves a myriad of experiences that can be
enjoyed simply for their own sake as well.

AMBLER FARM – WILTON, CONNECTICUT : SITE ANALYSIS DIAGRAMS
SOFTWARE : AUTOCAD, ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR

THE FARM SCHOOL
This concept emphasizes the integration of Ambler
Farm’s various programming and site elements
in a way which brings the agricultural aspect of
the landscape to the forefront. The agricultural

elements are clustered at the heart of the site, and
the northern field has been reclaimed for farming.
The parking area for the municipal soccer fields has
been enlarged to accommodate event parking, and
a simple path leads visitors into the site through
the agricultural fields. In addition, the central core
of the site – consisting of the white house and the
white carriage barn – has been re-envisioned as the
cultural and historic hub of the farm.

COREEN SCHMIDT
THE COMMONS
This concept proposes the most dramatic changes
to the Ambler Farm landscape and maximizes both
the open space and agricultural opportunities of
the site. The loop road has been removed to re-
link the major historic buildings and create a more
unified landscape. This opens up large swaths of the
site that were formerly under-utilized and provides
more recreational open space and uninterrupted
farmland. A small circular drive provides access
to two small parking areas, and the main parking
area has again been consolidated with that of the
adjacent municipal soccer fields.

Ambler Farm was purchased by the town of Wilton, Connecticut in 1998 out of a desire
to protect the community’s agricultural heritage, facilitate environmental and agricultural
education, and gain access to local, organically raised produce. The ultimate goal of this
master plan was to develop a model for fostering a more intimate relationship with our
food and the environment through the integration of “native foods” into the Ambler
Farm landscape. These foods, both wild and cultivated, sustained New England’s earliest
inhabitants and convey the essence of the region and its landscape. By allowing the
memory of the land to return and reintroducing people to New England’s native bounty,
visitors to Ambler Farm will ﬁnd a new, unique sense of place and expand their notion of
what a food-producing landscape can be.

The area surrounding the white carriage barn has been re-envisioned as the
cultural and historic hub of Ambler Farm. The barn itself is currently being
used for classes, farm events and private rentals, and a new terrace has been
Terrace Ice House & Museum
added to provide ﬂexible outdoor space for all of the existing programming.
Native food-bearing plants have been sited around the terrace to bring

the native foods theme into this heavily-used area. The icehouse has been
opened to the public as a museum, highlighting Wilton’s farming past and
the agricultural legacy of Ambler Farm. Historic farm implements, which are
currently scattered throughout the property, are displayed in the surrounding
area to extend the museum experience into the landscape.

NATIVE FOODS GARDEN Farmstand

The central theme of the master plan for Ambler Farm was to create
an opportunity for a deeper connection to the landscape through
the introduction of native foods. This garden is planted with a diverse
array of trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants which once provided
food to the region’s native peoples. The space is broken up into a
series of planing beds which highlight both the productive and the
ornamental value of the plants and allow people to engage directly
with the growing landscape. A central gathering space serves as
both an open-air classroom for workshops and other educational
programs relating to native foods as well as a quite place for study
or relaxation. Garden Entrance Beehives Beehives

HONORING A CENTURY OF LABOR
From approximately 1840 to 1960 the Biddeford-Saco mill complex was one of southern Maine’s primary economic engines.
Some 14,000 workers of American, Canadian, European and Asian descent labored to produce machinery, cloth, blankets
and other products for domestic and foreign marketplaces. In the years since the factories were shuttered, Biddeford’s mill
district has been largely abandoned, and the historic 19th century industrial buildings that dominate the town’s riverfront

have fallen into disrepair. The Mill District Memorial Fountain is one of several public open space components proposed as
part of a larger master plan for the redevelopment of this area, which was tentatively approved for listing on the National
Register of Historic Places in 2007. The location of such a large public space at the heart of the mill district, overlooking
the falls of the Saco River, was selected in order to reconnect the town of Biddeford both with it’s riverfront and with
its heritage by drawing people into the area.The design pays tribute to the men and women who spent their entire lives
laboring in the mills, as well as to the Saco River which runs through the district and which powered the mill complex
throughout most of its history. The main feature is a curved water wall, cut into the existing slope, which cascades into a
crescent-shaped reﬂecting pool surrounded by a low, granite seat wall. Groves of river birch sweep to either side of the
fountain, providing shade on the upper lawn and the lower plaza while echoing the native ﬂora of the nearby river.
