New Canaan is known for its concentration of mid-century modern homes built by the Harvard Five architects, and additions on these houses call for a different approach than a typical colonial, low rooflines, glass, and simple massing that does not fight the original design. Alongside those homes sit older colonial farmhouses on wooded lots lined with stone walls, especially further out toward Silvermine.

Most properties here run larger, on well water in the outer areas, and the town center itself keeps a tight, walkable historic character near Waveny Park. Design work in New Canaan tends to get more scrutiny than in neighboring towns because homeowners and the town both take the architectural history seriously.
