The Pendergraft Building

Fayetteville, AR

The Pendergraft Building is a mixed-use building that stands at the entry into the master-planned community of Drake Farms in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The building’s tower reaches out to the street edge and invites visitors to travel through the open portico covering the entry walk into the new development. The structure, clad in stone with a clay tile roof, sets the bar for the future development to follow in this new community. Completed in 2022, the Pendergraft Building anchors one corner of the commercial core of Drake Farms. The building serves as a family office for the landowners, who will oversee the development of the site, alongside High Street Real Estate and Development. As the project architects, we dubbed the building’s aesthetic “Modern National Park,” and you can see both its traditionally inspired proportions and its natural material palette and how that language has been interpreted into clean, modern detailing. This same interpretive language flows into the building interiors where you will find common areas and the family office that lean on site-harvested walnut and local craftsmen to add even more color to the building’s story.
