This massive estate nestled among its extensive gardens in Woodside was designed by Willis Polk in 1916 in an interpretation of Georgian style. In order to ensure the safety of the now-museum’s 50,000 annual visitors, ARG served as the architect for its phased seismic strengthening. Following this work, we designed a new Visitor and Education Center to be consistent with the axial, Beaux Art estate plan. The subdued pavilion design features rich detailing that relates closely to the existing structures.
