PWP Landscape Architecture has designed a restraint and its contemplative landscape for this private museum within a focus on integrating the natural environment, architecture.
Introduction
“In this private museum in Potomac, Maryland, set amid 230 acres of rolling hills, streams, meadows, and woodland paths, the landscape architect has integrated the natural environment, architecture, and works of art into a seamless sensory and intellectual experience. Though large in scale, the project’s power comes from its restraint and its contemplative character. This is a museum site where the natural world is in the foreground, creating a visitor experience that extends beyond art and architecture. Glenstone is an impeccably composed landscape, with its beautiful interior Water Court and two miles of walking paths, trails, and bridges that pass through a dynamic landscape of 8,000 trees and indigenous plants, all punctuated by world-class art.”
