GWWO has enjoyed a nearly four-decade relationship with the Brandywine River Museum and Conservancy, from the initial renovation of an 1864 grist mill to house the Museum, through a subsequent expansion and various interim projects, to the recent expansion and additions to the Museum and Conservancy buildings.
Sited at the east end of the Museum’s existing entry courtyard, the most recent addition disappears into the landscape, thus preserving views from the site’s entry gate and respecting the environmentally sensitive setting. A screen of mirrored surfaces reflects the sky and surrounding trees and the structure curves away from view, so that the addition fades into its surroundings with no discernable edge.
“We have repeatedly chosen to work with this team because they are consummate professionals who keep our interests foremost.” – Jim Duff, Executive Director, Brandywine River Museum
