The Smuttynose Brewery is a world class craft brewer in Portsmouth, NH which seeks to
expand to a proposed LEED Gold facility consisting of a state-of-the-art brewery,
restaurant, gift shop, and warehouse on an existing 14 acre farm. The existing buildings
are to be reused on site and the new brewery will operate with sophisticated energy and
mechanical systems. The site is planned to process all of its storm water through
vegetated ornamental rain gardens designed by terrafirma.
Terra firma worked in collaboration with Altus Engineering to layout and grade the site with
minimal disturbance to the existing tree cover and orchard. The overall site coverage
including the 40,000 sf brewery complex is only 21%.
The landscape plan stressed limiting construction impacts to the existing site, the use of
sustainable native vegetation, maintaining existing trees to shade the parking and
permeable pavement.
