Grace Farms

Located on 80 open acres of lush, rolling meadows, woods and wetlands, Grace Farms provides a place for people to experience nature, foster community, pursue social justice, and explore the connections between art and faith, immersed in a beautiful landscape. Grace Farms centers on “the River,” an extraordinary ribbon-like building of glass, wood and steel designed by the Pritzker Prize-winning Japanese architects SANAA that undulates across the grounds in a series of twists and turns that echo the curves of a river. The building encompasses facilities for the arts, worship, sports, performances, and education, including a 700-seat auditorium, library, café and gym.

Pedro and the Pentagram team designed the branding identity for the Grace Farms Foundation and a full signage system for the Grace Farms building and grounds, as well as a series of merchandising products and the website for the institution.
