This past summer, architect Stacey Xiong, AIA joined other designers during The Christopher H. Browne Portsmouth Drawing Tour in New Hampshire in collaboration with Institute of Classical Architecture & Art. This tour offered an inspiring immersion in historic architecture through observation and on-site drawing. Participants explored proportion, detail, material, and character while refining their sketching practice.

Here, Stacey shares her reflections on this enriching experience.

Historic or legacy site redevelopment can increase perceived value by 15–30%.

Many legacy sites are seen as constraints.

Old structures.
Complicated conditions.

So they get cleared. Reset. And with that, a lot of value disappears.

What if you did this instead?

Treat the existing site as an asset, not an obstacle.

• Leverage embedded character
• Build on what’s already there
• Turn constraints into identity

Because what’s already on the site is often the most valuable thing you have.

First impressions drive perception, and perception drives value.

Most developments treat entry buildings as secondary. That’s the disconnect.

They value-engineer the very element that sets the tone for everything that follows.

At Drake Farms, the Pendergraft Building isn’t just another structure, it’s the front door to the entire development.

What if you did this instead?

Make the entry building your highest standard, not your compromise.

• Establish a premium architectural benchmark at arrival

• Use one building to communicate the identity of the whole place

• Anchor long-term value through first impression quality

What’s typically done: Push quality deeper into the site and underinvest at the edges where perception is formed.

Nequette’s approach:

We positioned the Pendergraft Building as a high-end focal point: setting expectations, elevating brand, and defining the experience from day one.

Because people don’t experience your community all at once, they experience how it begins.

The Village at Edenton serves as a great reminder that desirable communities are shaped not only by the buildings themselves, but by the spaces between them.

Porches, streets, and green spaces are the connective tissue of the community, giving every home a relationship to the public realm and creating opportunities to encounter neighbors along the way.

A beautiful reminder that every great place begins with a line on paper.

This hand-drawn sketch captures character, rhythm, and a sense of place, where thoughtful design begins with imagination and takes shape through craft.
