此次的设计项目为美国康乃迪克州的公寓花园设计项目，它占地面积约为八英亩。公寓最原始的设计目标将其打造成为一处用来休闲度假的花园，因此里面包含了各种雕刻艺术，多种多样的水景景观和好几处户外野餐的地方。不过，随着时间的流逝，这里古老的一切都要重新修缮才能恢复它往日的气派。

此次的重新设计主要有两个基本的目标：第一，基于康涅狄格州的乡间风格打造一种充满个性色彩的花园景观；第二，建立一种可持续的以地方建筑为特色的园林景观。

设计师从这一目标出发，利用乔木和藤蔓构建成各种棚架，并使用当地石材进行铺装。花园中所使用的乔木也多为当地的乡土树种，即使在粗放的管理条件下依然可以生长旺盛。与此同时，乡土树种的应用还可以减少外来物种的入侵、丰富该花园中的季相变化。不过花园中有大约三英亩的草地是重新种植的，并且其中大约75%的植物都是来自于康涅狄格州当地的常见品种。独立的花园小空间还包括多种多样的台阶、小路、草地等，它们都和大花园很好的融合在一起，在原有的历史感的基础上展现出现代设计的魅力。

At its core, In Situ is a study in restoration, both of the site and the mind. Functionally designed as a garden for entertaining, this eight acre retreat in rural Connecticut incorporates sculptural art, exterior fire features, multiple water features, and several areas for outdoor dining. These luxuries are subtly coordinated with an ambitious site restoration program.

The design melds two basic objectives: to create a bold aesthetic inspired by the rustic architectural vernacular of rural Connecticut and to implement place-based sustainable landscape strategies. Arbors and pergolas are constructed of salvaged barn wood and stone from the site was extensively utilized alongside other local stone sources. Extensive management of the surrounding forest was undertaken to repopulate native trees. This effort removed significant exotic and invasive plant species and maximized the backdrop of foliage and fall color. Three acres of native meadows were replanted, and approximately 75% of the project plant palette is composed exclusively of native species.

Individual garden “rooms”, including multiple terraces, trails, meadows, lawn areas, and a sunken garden, are subtly positioned into the larger landscape and nestled into each adjacent room. This creates seamless transitions between spaces while simultaneously allowing each space to retain its unique identity. They are engaged in a dynamic equilibrium, each space folding together to support a larger vision evoking historic rural themes and tranquility.
