Abstract:
Fearrington is a modern village six miles south of Chapel Hill. Built on 1,100 acres of what was once the Fearrington Farm, the development is unique in its attention to the lands past use. When planning for Fearrington Village began in 1975, housing development was designed around the once lush pasture lands and with an agricultural feel to the buildings. The article outlines how the village was designed around the ideal of an English countryside but with classical southern influences.
