Summary

Duke Farms’ success demonstrates the working relationship of a passionate, visionary, and engaged client paired with a thoughtful and responsive design team. The Design Team was selected to help Duke Farms Foundation and the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation conceive a new institution dedicated to green principles and a mission to “serve as a model of environmental stewardship and to inspire visitors to become informed stewards of the land”. The property, a resplendent 2,700 acres (15.9 square kilometers) created by industrialist James Buchanan Duke is located in Hillsborough, New Jersey, USA. A large portion of the land was assembled and developed by Duke, beginning in 1893, and was added to and cared for by his sole heir and daughter, Doris Duke, throughout her lifetime. Upon her death in 1993, a philanthropic trust was created from her will to maintain and transform the property. The design integrates the buildings with the surrounding landscape as the landscape is central to the Duke Farms mission. The purpose of the buildings were to enhance, support, and educate the visitor about the landscape of which they are a part, and act as a "green beacon" to inspire visitors while providing important demonstrations of sustainable design strategies.
