1. Executive Summary
THE MENOKIN SITE
Menokin is located on
the Northern Neck of
Virginia between the
Rappahannock River and
the Potomac River. The
property fronts on the
east side of the Menokin
Bay of Cat Point Creek, a
tributary of the Rappahannock River. The site is
located approximately 4
miles north-northwest of
Warsaw,Virginia.
PRELIMINARY MASTER PLAN
This preliminary master plan is a phasing statement that reflects early aspirations expressed
by the Menokin Foundation to help manage growth and change, and to help foster more
predictable development throughout the site. It is not a prescriptive or regulatory phasing
document. Rather, it is intended as an initial step in creating a resource to guide the
development and enactment of future projects in supporting the overall vision of Menokin.
It’s understood that a comprehensive master plan will be developed in a future stage to
further explore the ideas within.
The major phases of this 2013 preliminary master plan for Menokin are (see phasing
diagram on pages 1.6 & 1.7):
P-1: Masterplanning the Site and Representing the House (short-term)
P-2: Gateway and Access (mid-term)
The 500 acre Menokin site contains a number of
evident historic features including the Main House
and Dependencies, its adjacent garden terraces, expansive agricultural field, and a number of “rolling
roads” assumed to have served as roadways during
the site’s tobacco plantation era. Although remnants
of the early farm buildings and the drives leading to
them are no longer extant, many of the early farm
buildings and the drives along the Menokin Curtilage,
the Menokin Landing, and the early farm roads leading down to the water are still subtily evident.
P-3: Conservation and Storage (mid-to-long-term)
P-4: Long-term Ambitions

We identified four main phases in this preliminary master plan, that are categorically for
short-term, mid-term, mid-to-long-term and long-term developments of the entire Menokin
site. In doing so, we were able to present and interpret Menokin through its many parts and
pieces while carefully taking into consideration environmental and historic conservation
practices that would require careful management of the 500-acres site.

THE MENOKIN HOUSE
The Menokin Foundation aims to develop and implement strategies to preserve and display the house remains (post-collapse c. 1970) using an innovative
design approach which draws distinction between original artefacts and new construction.

PARKING
With no designated parking areas for visitors to Menokin currently on site, the idea is to implement a parking strategy that requires the least amount of surface
soil disturbance on site (i.e. locating parking areas close to the Menokin curtilage and along the access road).

The Menokin Exhibition and Conservation Center
The Conservation and Interpretation of a National Historic Landmark to Create
a Cultural and Educational Center
Warsaw, Virginia, United States
The Menokin project’s concept proposes the delicate stabilization, preservation, and interpretation
of the Menokin House; (a National historic Landmark built in c. 1769), its ancillary buildings and
landscape, while featuring the delicate marriage of the “old” and “new”, maintaining their distinct
characters and language, and establishing a necessary formal, environmental, and structural
interdependence between the two. The following summarize the primary overarching design
parameters set forth:
1.
Reinstatement of Architectural Integrity in the Landscape: The reinstatement of the original
Neo-Palladian arrangement of the House and its Dependencies.
2.
Strategic Rehabilitation: The interdependent relationship between the proposed Liner and the
existing historic fabric, both structurally and visually allows for a highly efficient and innovative
approach to restoration and rehabilitation. New materials complement the historic fabric of the
House, clearly showcasing both original and contemporary construction systems and illustrating
innovative conservation technology.
3.
Provisions of Diverse and Flexible Space: The proposed diverse spatial qualities create
opportunities for different exhibitions and interpretation opportunities.
4.
Unity and Continuity: The Liner’s gradient from opaque-to-transparent glass is a unifying visual
element that supports all of the above parameters by allowing for a continuous reading of the
house in response to the site and the historical fabric and its multiple uses as an exhibition
space [i.e. changing exhibitions, tours, installations, special events, etc].
The following pages within this section, are but a short synopsis of the aforementioned principles
in greater depth, as well as a detailed description of the building components and technological
evolution.

The Northern Neck
The Northern Neck is a 61-mile
peninsula surrounded by the
Rappahannock and Potomac rivers
and the Chesapeake Bay. Originally
settled by members of eight
Algonquian tribes, it was scouted
in the early 17th century by Captain
John Smith, the English explorer, and
eventually settled by planters whose
impressive estates were, for the
majority, dedicated to the cultivation
and export of tobacco.

THE LINER
In the absence of most
of the original perimeter
walls, the “Liner” is
conceived of as the
physical embodiment of
the main house’s interior
space -- strategically
reestablishing the house’s
interior volume -- not
unlike the casting of a
mold in archaeological
practices.

RESTORATION APPROACH
The remaining masonry
wall elements and water
table will be restored
in-situ, stabilizing the
historic remains while
providing adequate
structural support for
the proposed Liner and
Rainscreen. The resulting
scheme avoids the pitfalls
of total reconstruction
and provides visitors
with a clear sense of the
building’s history.

THE ARMATURE
The fully welded

is reinforced by
placing horizontal

juxtaposition to
historical fabric,
conceptually
enhances the poetic
dimension of collapse
and current state of
ruin.

THE GLASS RAINSCREEN
A custom glass façade system, supported
and hung from the roof eaves and laterally
constrained by struts that tie back to the
Liner’s armature. As an active archeological
site, the glass gives contrast with the stone
structures of the historical ruins and seeks to
both highlight the original structure and the
contemporary liner.

HISTORIC HOUSE PROGRAM
CONCEPTUAL ORGANIZATION OF
INTERIOR SPACES
The house will be an ongoing research
project and exhibit space that will
incorporate original historic materials to
illustrate 18th century craftsmanship,
as well as new materials to complement
historic fabric. The story of Menokin from
1769 to the active present will be told
through an architectural narrative that
unfolds from a more traditional/historical
exhibition approach in the northeast
corner (the Study) to a more flexible and
interpretive exhibition approach towards
the west side of the house [within the
north and south Chambers and second
level area].

Unity and Continuity:
The Liner’s gradient from opaque-to-transparent glass is
a unifying visual element that supports all of the above
parameters by allowing for a continuous reading of the house
in response to the site and the historical fabric and its multiple
uses as an exhibition space [i.e. changing exhibitions, tours,
installations, special events, etc].

Existing Condition
& Strategic
Reconstruction:
Since its collapse in
1968, the house has
been in a precarious
condition, and the
foundation’s attempts
to stabilize and protect
what remains have
been only temporarily
successful, as day-today exposure to the
elements undermine
these efforts.

Concept Design:
The house, in its
collapsed and
supported state,
reveals an 18th
century building
technology that is
unprecedented in
a colonial house
museum in the
Northern Neck.
The glass Liner and
Rainscreen showcases
and preserves this
technology while.
at the same time, it
reinstates the formal
reading of the house’s
original enclosure.

“terraced” landscape.

4. Landscape Architecture
SITE LANDSCAPE DESIGN OVERVIEW The Phase 1 Landscape Design concept has been developed
with the following broad set of design approach principals:
1.
Continuity, Integration and Consistency to the design parameters set forth for the House
2.
Flexibility and Research to allow for learning, discovery and interpretations given the site’s
active archaeological nature and core educational program
3.
Strategic Intervention of new landscape design to allow the existing site to speak for itself
4.
Interpretation and Evocation of Original Historic Landscape and the avoidance of any literal
restoration or reconstruction of historic site elements
The treatment of Menokin’s cultural landscape is proposed to utilize “Rehabilitation” as its
primary, and “Preservation” as secondary guideline. “Restoration” and “Reconstruction” are
seldom or minimally utilized. The following pages within this section, are but a short synopsis of
the aforementioned principles in greater depth, as well as a detailed description of the building
components and technological evolution.
