the cornerstone school
stratham, new hampshire

The renovation of the grounds and play habitat of The Cornerstone School in Stratham
was driven by the idea of integrating the Montessori teaching philosophy with the existing
undefined meadow landscape.

The elevated water rill was conceived to compliment the school's philosophy and to
separate the movement of toddlers from older children. In doing so, the serpentine
fountain exists as a stand alone sculptural element - formed in three separately dyed
concrete pours and embedded with fossils to reflect the process of time and sedimentation.

The project grew from an inspiring client, the expertise and artful concrete work of
Melange Studio and with the site work of Dan Provost as landscape contractor.
