NBW被保留为蓝岭山脉脚下的这个22英亩的物业设计一个总体规划。客户的强大的保护伦理有助于确定项目的设计指导。总体规划完成后，NBW协助业主聘请一位将有助于实现项目设计任务的建筑师。建筑和花园通过门廊，露台，框架视图相互连接，宾馆和车库视野为附属建筑。本地野花填充一个沉没的石头入口庭院，其中种子头和荚通过冬天保留利益和野生动物营养。在弗吉尼亚州夏季，两座雕刻的石头喷泉池作为冷水池，第二个庭院是供应厨房厨房的蔬菜和水果园。周围的土地已经变成了一个温暖的季节草地，每三年一次火灾着火。现有池塘恢复，疏浚，加深，重新种植，扩大了水生生物的栖息地。雨花园捕获暴雨水，为蝾螈和水生植物种提供栖息地。

NBW was retained to design a masterplan for this 22-acre property at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The client’s strong conservation ethic helped establish the design guidelines for the project. Upon completion of the masterplan, NBW assisted the owner with the hiring of an architect who would help fulfill the design mission of the project. Building and gardens are interconnected through porches, terraces, framed views, and a vision of the guest house and garage as outbuildings. Native wildflowers fill a sunken, stone-walled entry courtyard where seed heads and pods are retained through the winter for interest and wildlife nourishment. Two carved stone fountain basins serve as plunge pools for cooling off in the Virginia summer and a second courtyard serves as a vegetable and fruit garden supplying the kitchen of the house. The surrounding land has been transformed into a warm season grass meadow that is managed every three years by fire. An existing pond was restored, dredged, deepened, and replanted to expand the variety of habitats for aquatic life. Rain gardens capture storm water and provide habitat for salamanders and hydric plant species.
