The Connecticut Trust for Historic Preservation has twice recognized Rob Sanders Architects projects in adaptive use design: in 2010 for the buildings and campus at Invisible Fence Company, and in 2005 with an award for Trackside at Dana House, Wilton's Teen Center.

RSA also received an 2010 Business Award from AIA Connecticut for the Invisible Fence Company campus. His work has been published in This Old House, Renovation Style, New York Magazine and other national and local publications, and in the book "Suburban Renewal" by Tom Connor (Viking Studio, 2000).

2005

Connecticut Trust for Historic Preservation
2005 Built Environment Award
Trackside at Dana House Teen Center

Rob Sanders was presented with an award for the restoration and adaptive reuse of the Davenport-Dana House in Wilton, which is now Trackside at Dana House Teen Center.

Presenting the award to Mr. Sanders, Executive Director Helen Higgins said, "The old Davenport-Dana homestead, dating from the 1760's and threatened with demolition in the 1990's, has been reborn as a Teen Center in Wilton. The town of Wilton purchased the building in the late 1990's. Sanders' adaptive reuse design envisioned an old New England farmstead growing in typical fashion with converted barns and outbuildings. The result is a building that fits the historic center of Wilton while fulfilling a significant social need -- that of giving teens a place to hang out as well as have positive experiences."
