《庭院生活》探讨了彼得·齐默尔曼建筑事务所近来在费城历史悠久、建筑风格丰富的主干道上的一座大型私人住宅花园中建造的三个庭院建筑，以及这些结构与周边环境联系的相关特点。

新的庭院位于阿德罗森庄园的广袤财产之内。阿德罗森庄园是霍勒斯·特伦鲍尔（Horace Trumbauer）设计的20世纪初的乔治亚复兴式豪宅。现在，这里的其中一个新住宅与连绵山丘上的历史庄园相映成趣。

作为艺术、建筑和景观的忠实赞助人，委托建造新庭院的业主承担了维护土地和财产特征的责任。然而，这些新建筑也增强了景观，通过更加紧密地与自然相融合，提供了更加丰富的体验。这些庭院以新的和谐方式庆祝庄园的非凡历史和享受户外生活的愿望。

本书包含200多张照片和详细建筑插图，涵盖了建筑、赞助和福祉艺术，旨在为设计师和寻求类似解决方案的业主提供有意义的户外生活体验。

英文简介：

Pavilion Living looks at the architecture of three recently completed pavilions by Peter Zimmerman Architects on the gardens of a large private house on Philadelphia’s architecturally rich, historic Main Line, and the associated characteristics that accompany these beautifully conceived and carefully built structures.

Located on a portion of what was once the extensive property of the Ardrossan Estate, an early 20th-century Georgian Revival mansion by Horace Trumbauer, the new pavilions accompany one of the next generation of houses that can now be seen on the rolling hills of the historic manor.

The owners who commissioned the pavilions have taken on the responsibility of maintaining the land and character of the property as serious patrons of art, architecture, and landscape. Yet these new buildings also enhance the landscape, providing richer experiences in closer connection to nature, celebrating in fresh and harmonious ways the property’s extraordinary history and the family’s desire to enjoy the simple pleasures of life outdoors.

Replete with more than 200 photographs and detailed architectural illustrations, Pavilion Living encompasses architecture, patronage, and the art of benessere (well-being) with the aim of serving designers and homeowners seeking similar solutions to meaningful outdoor living.
