Expansion of historic Savidge Library, designed by architects Tod Williams Billie Tsien, occasioned the creation of a new open space for resident artists to gather and collaborate.

As one of the nation’s preeminent artist retreats, MacDowell has nurtured hundreds of composers, performers, writers, visual artists, and designers amid the pastoral landscape of the Monadnock region. This project is in dialog with Reed Hilderbrand’s ongoing plan for ecological management of MacDowell’s more than 200 acres of forest and grasslands.
