七池塘农场的项目开始是将一个140英亩的弗吉尼亚州中部牛场转变成可以最大化本地物种生物多样性的保护区的挑战。初步的总体规划设计形成了持续设计关系的框架，其中包括设计和建造额外的花园空间，植物收集，生态恢复和再造林。

该计划将现有的房屋，花园和周围的牧场编织成弗吉尼亚原生的广泛的树木植被和生态恢复网络。走路径连接收集花园，原生草地和再造林项目。这个土地在概念上分为四个象限：天然草地牧场，工作农场，耕地和野生森林。围绕主体的圆形区域组织四个象限的主要步道，并结合与之相关的活动：游乐场，果园，游泳池和喷泉，儿童迷宫，新的驱动器和流通，蔬菜园和灌木和多年生藏品。

The projects at Seven Ponds Farm began with the challenge of transforming a 140-acre central Virginia cattle farm into a preserve that could maximize the biodiversity of native species. The initial masterplan design formed the framework for an ongoing design relationship that includes design and construction of additional garden spaces, botanical collections, ecological restoration, and reforestation.

The plan knits an existing house, garden, and surrounding pastures into an extensive arboretum of trees native to Virginia and a network of ecological restorations. Walking trails connect collection gardens, native grass meadows, and reforestation projects. The land is conceptually divided into four quadrants: native meadow pasture, working farm, cultivated gardens, and wild native forest. A circular precinct surrounding the main house organizes a primary walk through the four quadrants and incorporates activities associated with each: play fields, orchard, pool and fountains, children’s maze, new drives and circulation, vegetable gardens, and shrub and perennial collections.
