The Sunnylands Center and Gardens is an interpretive center that celebrates the cultural legacy of the historic estate through a new 15 acre desert botanical garden. The landscape architect created a living landscape that respects the character of the Sonoran Desert and demonstrates a new ecological aesthetic for landscapes in the arid southwest.
该Sunnylands中心和花园是一个解释性中心，通过一个新的15英亩沙漠植物园，庆祝文化遗产的历史遗产。景观设计师，生活造就了字符的索诺兰沙漠景观，尊重演示了一个新的生态美学在西南旱区景观。
Sunnylands Center & Gardens in Rancho Mirage, California is an extension of the 200-acre desert retreat of Walter and Leonore Annenberg. The Annenbergs commissioned the California modernist architect A. Quincy Jones to design their estate in the desert in 1963. In 2006, the Annenberg Foundation commissioned the landscape architect to develop a garden for the interpretive center.
加州Rancho Mirage的Sunnylands中心和花园，是一个扩展的200英亩的沙漠撤退沃尔特和列奥诺拉安嫩伯格。 Annenbergs委托加州现代主义建筑师A.昆西·琼斯于1963年在沙漠中设计他们的财产。 2006年，安嫩伯格基金会委托发展的解说中心花园的景观设计师。
Because of its location in the desert, sustainability figured prominently into discussions about the nature of the project. Originally conceived as an extension of the landscape of the Estate, the design team and the client agreed that the Center and Gardens would reflect the next Century implement the most advanced efforts in sustainability.
由于它的位置在沙漠中占有突出地位，可持续发展项目的性质进行讨论。最初设想作为一个扩展的景观地产，设计团队和客户同意，该中心和花园将反映在下一世纪，实施最先进的在可持续发展方面的努力。
In addition to the selection of regionally-appropriate plants, the project features restored desert habitat, high-efficiency capillary irrigation system, soil moisture monitoring, 100 percent on-site storm water retention, geothermal wells, a significant photovoltaic array and an on-site green waste recycling program. The project has received LEED Gold Certification and uses approximately 20 percent of its water allocation from the Coachella Valley Water District. The project also proactively meets the specifications and requirements for the use of reclaimed water five years ahead of the implementation of Rancho Mirage’s citywide initiative.
Working closely with owner, the landscape architect developed a scheme that begins as an orderly, geometric composition adjacent to the Center and becomes progressively more free flowing as it moves to the desert meadows. The landscape architect sculpted the earth and used plants in a painterly fashion across the 15 acre site. Trees were carefully positioned throughout the site to ensure that ample shade was provided and great care was given to the visual composition of understory plantings. Plantings were designed “in mass” much like one experiences a large nursery. Therefore, dozens of aloe, agave and barrel cactus were used to great large sweeps of color and texture.
除了选择适当的区域植物，项目功能的恢复沙漠栖息地，高效率的毛细管灌溉系统，土壤墒情监测，现场雨水保留100％，地热井，一个显着的光伏阵列和现场绿色废物回收计划。该项目已获得LEED金级认证，并使用其约20％的水资源分配的Coachella谷水区。该项目还主动满足未来五年的实施Rancho Mirage的全市范围内的主动使用再生水的规格和要求。
与业主密切合作，制定了一个计划，开始有序，毗邻该中心的几何构图变得越来越自由流动的，因为它移动到沙漠草地的景观设计师。景观设计师雕刻的地球和使用的植物中的一种绘画的方式在15英亩的土地。树木进行了仔细整个网站的定位，以确保足够的遮荫提供了非常谨慎的视觉组成的林下种植。种植面积设计的“质量”很像经历了一个大的幼儿园。因此，芦荟，龙舌兰以及桶仙人掌的几十个伟大的大扫荡，颜色和纹理。
A generous entry drive meanders through a series of rich, undulating desert plantings before delivering visitors to a formal entry court anchored by specimen Sweet Acacia. After dropping of their passengers, guests park their vehicles in a carefully landscaped parking court created by a grove of Hybrid Mesquite trees.
In collaboration with the architect, the building was carefully sited to frame panoramic views of the mountains beyond from the Center’s main entry and lobby. Guests explore a variety of interactive exhibits including those that address the design and construction of the gardens developed as a collaboration between the Client, the landscape architect, the horticulturist and the exhibit designer.

与建筑师合作进行了仔细的选址，建设帧的全景，远处的山脉中心的主入口和大堂。客人探索各种互动展品，包括那些解决的花园开发作为客户端之间的合作，景观设计师，园艺家和展览设计师的设计和施工。
A continuous terrace across the west side of the building extends the Center’s café to the landscape and accommodates special events. Twin stainless steel fountains within the terraces complements the crisp architectural composition, mirror the expansive desert sky, lower the ambient temperature and create the soothing sound of moving water.
一个连续的阶地西侧的建筑的景观和扩展该中心的咖啡厅，可满足特殊事件。双不锈钢喷泉内的梯田补充清脆的建筑组成，反映了广阔的沙漠天空下，环境温度越低，水的流动舒缓的声音。
Sized specifically to support special events required for programming, a circular lawn is the central organizing feature of the rear garden. Framed by a double row of ‘Desert Museum’ Palo Verdes, its perimeter walk connects guests to a series of private gardens that feature quite seating nooks, rich desert plantings and a labyrinth for contemplation. Paths from the rear garden lead visitors through a rich and varied botanical collection of desert plants that passes through the front garden, along the perimeter of the restored habitat and back to the Center.
The landscape architect’s responsibilities included leading a one-year procurement process to select approximately 53,000 plants for the site. The team established exacting standards for contract grown material. The Foundation also implemented time-lapse cameras on the site to document the extensive efforts required to realize the landscape, which will be incorporated in the educational exhibits inside the Center.
Developed in close collaboration with the design team the landscape architect created a garden that celebrates the legacy of the Annenbergs while remaining sensitive to the delicate balance of life in the Sonoran desert. By creating an alternative to the traditional Palm Springs landscape that relies on heavy water use, chemical fertilizers and exotic plants, the landscape architect has created a garden that challenges the status quo and raises awareness of ecological issues in this imperiled ecosystem.
大小，专门用于支持编程所需的特殊事件，是一个圆形草坪中央组织特征的后花园。由一个双行的“沙漠博物馆”帕罗奥尔德框架，其周边的步行路程客人，具有相当座位的角落，丰富的沙漠种植和迷宫沉思了一系列的私人花园。路径的后花园，带领参观者通过丰富多样的植物收集的沙漠植物，通过前面的花园，沿周边恢复的栖息地，回到中心。
景观设计师的职责包括领导一个为期一年的采购过程中选择的网站约53,000植物。该小组建立了严格的标准，合同种植材料。该基金会还实施时间推移相机在网站上记录了广泛的努力实现的景观，这将被纳入教育中心内的展品。
开发与设计团队密切合作，园林景观设计师创造了一个庆祝的遗留下来的Annenbergs的同时保持敏感的索诺兰沙漠中生活的微妙平衡。通过创建一个替代重水使用，化肥和异国情调的植物，它依赖于传统的棕榈泉景观，景观设计师创造了一个花园，挑战现状，并提出了对生态问题的认识，在这个岌岌可危的生态系统。
