Magnolia Mound位于密西西比河旁的高地上，是1791年建立的一个工作种植园。今天，Magnolia Mound的使命是通过教育项目、研讨会、讲座、节日和其他特别活动来说明和诠释法国克里奥尔人的生活方式。
Situated on high ground adjacent to the Mississippi River, Magnolia Mound was a working plantation established in 1791. Today, Magnolia Mound’s mission is to illustrate and interpret the French Creole lifestyle through educational programs, workshops, lectures, festivals and other special events.
该项目的设计意图是强调场地和地形的重要性，因为它与Magnolia Mound有关。最低限度的干预旨在通过为游客建立一个明确的门槛来提升现有的历史建筑和场地，当游客在土丘的基础上循环时。当人们穿过新的游客中心并登上土丘的顶部时，建筑与景观融为一体，变得不显眼且难以察觉。新建筑的顶部与土丘高地的标高一致，建立了一个基准点，将现场的新旧建筑联系在一起。
The design intent for the project is to emphasize the importance of site and topography as it relates to Magnolia Mound. The minimal intervention seeks to elevate the existing historic buildings and site by establishing a clear threshold for visitors as they circulate around the base of the mound. As one transitions through the new visitor center and ascends to the top of the mound, the building merges with the landscape to become unobtrusive and imperceptible. The top of the new structure aligns with the elevation of the high ground of the mound, establishing a datum which links old and new architecture on site.
