American arts patron Scott Mueller commissioned the investigation of 150 acres of former production orchards and steep woodlands east of Cleveland, Ohio. Our work defined a way to build a residence and to shape a new contemporary sculpture collection that also enriches its ecologies, including meadows long known as habitat for ground-nesting bobolinks. Realized over a decade, we have shaped many new experiences here: of the land’s diverse character, of seasonal phenomena, and of a striking dialogue between art and place.
