Metcalfe Architecture & Design：Metcalfe对Dow Chemical创建的HH Dow公司的这个项目充满了感情。这位创始人曾经在他心爱的苹果园工作时，参与过“开放式游戏”，所以Metcalfe和客户想象了一个家庭游戏森林。游客们会遇到一系列“右脑”体验，包括开阔的田野和黑暗的森林。他们并不局限于停留在小径上；他们走得越多，就越接近自然，也就有了沉思的机会。

Metcalfe Architecture & Design：Metcalfe brought its sensibility to this project for the family of Dow Chemical’s founder, HH Dow. The founder once engaged in “open-ended play” while working in his beloved apple orchards, so Metcalfe and the client imagined a family play forest. Visitors encounter a series of “right-brained” experiences involving a progression of open fields and dark forests. They are not constrained to staying on trails; the more they wander, the closer they get to nature and opportunities for introspection.

相互连接的空间和活动区域包括两座桥，一个圆形剧场、果园。广阔的林冠步道，一个自然游乐区，一个游客中心，一个艺术工作室和一个公共项目建筑。

Interconnected spaces and active zones include two bridges, an amphitheater, orchards, an expansive canopy walk, a nature play area, a visitor center, an art studio and a public program building.
