It is an unlikely entrance for Hampton Island Preserve, a four-thousand-acre equestrian-based private community and nature preserve on a cluster of marsh islands just south of Savannah, Georgia.<\/p>\n<p>But then, that is part of the preserve\u2019s intent. \u201cFrom the moment you turn into it, you start to relax; you can\u2019t help slowing down,\u201d says Foley, a relaxed, soft-spoken architect from Atlanta and the man behind Hampton Island Preserve\u2019s elegantly understated architecture.<\/p>\n<p>As we cross the marsh onto the north island, the forest gives way to neatly fenced paddocks where Thoroughbreds graze gracefully under the gnarled, spreading branches of old live oaks. At the center of this pastoral setting is our destination\u2014a thirty-foot-high cupola-topped wooden stable. Framed in mortise-and-tenon heavy timber above a dry-laid stone base, covered in weathered siding of reclaimed wood, and roofed with local cedar shakes and corrugated tin, it looks as if it might have been standing on this spot for a hundred years.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"\n     style=\"max-width: 1110px;\">\n  <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-53315

premier horse farms, noting the best features of each.<\/p>\n<p>The result is thoughtful, meticulous detailing. The stalls\u2019 traditional wainscot of tongue-and-groove paneling runs vertically rather than horizontally, making it far less likely that the horses will pick up splinters when they rub against it.<\/p>\n<p>Older stables have dirt floors to protect the horses\u2019 legs and provide natural waste drainage. Here, below a thick layer of hay, each stall is soft-grated with fiber-reinforced polyurethane, providing the advantages of a dirt floor without the maintenance problems. The center aisle sees far more wear and is therefore paved in more durable but still hoof-friendly rubberized brick, which, like much of the building\u2019s fabric, is made from recycled material.<\/p>\n<p>The hardware of the custom stall gates and Dutch doors is mostly concealed to prevent injuries and to keep the horses contained. \u201cThese are smart animals,\u201d says Nowicki. \u201cIf you have an exposed latch, a horse will figure out how to use it.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We were trying to recapture a slower pace, dropping back to the way it was a hundred years ago&#8221;<\/p><div id=\"div-gpt-ad-4921866\" class=\"ad-container in-line-ad mobile inContent\" data-ad-size-mapping=\"inContent\" data-ad-path=\"\/68000349\/in-between-modules\" data-ad-sizes=\"[ [336, 280], [300, 250], [300, 50] ]\" data-ad-channel=\"\" data-ad-type=\"In-between Modules\" data-page-terms=\"flagged\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-2131086\" class=\"ad-container in-line-ad tablet inContent\" data-ad-size-mapping=\"inContent\" data-ad-path=\"\/68000349\/in-between-modules\" data-ad-sizes=\"[ [336, 280], [300, 250], [300, 50] ]\" data-ad-channel=\"\" data-ad-type=\"In-between Modules\" data-page-terms=\"flagged\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-8092579\" class=\"ad-container in-line-ad desktop inContent\" data-ad-size-mapping=\"inContent\" data-ad-path=\"\/68000349\/in-between-modules\" data-ad-sizes=\"[ [336, 280], [300, 250], [300, 50] ]\" data-ad-channel=\"\" data-ad-type=\"In-between Modules\" data-page-terms=\"flagged\"><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: larger;\"><b>Sustainable Design<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>One reason Foley chose a local vernacular style for the stable was to make the building more naturally sustainable, a concept that interested him long before he became involved in this project.<\/p>\n<p>In the early days of his practice, Foley participated in a commission for the Southern Solar Energy Center, under the Department of Energy, that included a survey of Georgia architecture that used passive or active energy design. At the time, fewer than two dozen contemporary buildings made use of much more than a solar panel.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, historically, much architecture has long taken advantage of what is today called passive energy design\u2014orienting the buildings to take into account prevailing breezes and solar patterns; and making use of wide, central hallways, high ceilings, clerestories, transoms, thick masonry, and tall double- and triple-hung windows, all optimizing natural air circulation and light.<\/p><div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1589620\" class=\"ad-container in-line-ad mobile inContent\" data-ad-size-mapping=\"inContent\" data-ad-path=\"\/68000349\/in-between-modules\" data-ad-sizes=\"[ [336, 280], [300, 250], [300, 50] ]\" data-ad-channel=\"\" data-ad-type=\"In-between Modules\" data-page-terms=\"flagged\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-4784364\" class=\"ad-container in-line-ad tablet inContent\" data-ad-size-mapping=\"inContent\" data-ad-path=\"\/68000349\/in-between-modules\" data-ad-sizes=\"[ [336, 280], [300, 250], [300, 50] ]\" data-ad-channel=\"\" data-ad-type=\"In-between Modules\" data-page-terms=\"flagged\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-4647176\" class=\"ad-container in-line-ad desktop inContent\" data-ad-size-mapping=\"inContent\" data-ad-path=\"\/68000349\/in-between-modules\" data-ad-sizes=\"[ [336, 280], [300, 250], [300, 50] ]\" data-ad-channel=\"\" data-ad-type=\"In-between Modules\" data-page-terms=\"flagged\"><\/div>\n\n<p>Foley\u2019s design for the stable\u2014the first of two planned in Hampton Island\u2019s equestrian center\u2014is deeply rooted in these concepts. Carefully sited to capture the prevailing breezes off St. Catherines Sound, its twelve horse stalls and support facilities are organized around a sixteen-foot-wide center aisle contained at each end by massive doors that slide away.<\/p>\n<p>Other details of the building further use those captured breezes: A high, open-structure ceiling and ventilating cupola; a covered perimeter walk to shade the outer walls and doorways; and open ironwork stall dividers and gates all promote free air movement, allow natural upward heat exhaust, and make the most of natural light, keeping indoor temperatures down during the intense Lowcountry summers.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, the stable interior is consistently ten degrees cooler than the outside air\u2014with no mechanical ventilation.
