“我们很高兴格蕾丝农场将在2015年秋季开始欢迎公众，”莎伦王子，格蕾丝农场基金会主席说。

“We are thrilled that Grace Farms will begin welcoming the public in autumn 2015,” Sharon Prince, president of the Grace Farms Foundation stated.

该基金会在一份新闻稿中描述道：“由于河流蜿蜒穿过起伏的地形，萨那大楼在格蕾丝农场占地77，000平方英尺。”“这条河依偎在风景中，从一条小丘上开始，然后在一系列弯道中沿着绵长缓缓的斜坡流下，在它的旅程中形成了类似池塘的空间。”

“Known as the River because of the way it meanders through the rolling terrain, the SANAA building occupies a footprint of 77,000-square-feet at Grace Farms,” described the Foundation in a press release. “Nestled into the landscape, the River begins on a knoll and then flows down the long, gentle slope in a series of bends, forming pond-like spaces on its journey.

“在结构上，玻璃、混凝土、钢铁和木材的建筑实质上是一个单独的长屋顶，在地面上蜿蜒曲折时，屋顶似乎漂浮在10至14英尺高的地方。在屋顶下形成的人行道、庭院和玻璃包裹的空间非常透明，并邀请人们参与到广阔的自然环境中来。“

“Structurally, the building of glass, concrete, steel and wood is in essence a single long roof, which seems to float some 10 to 14 feet above the surface of the ground as it twists and turns across the landscape. The walkways, courtyards and glass-wrapped volumes that form beneath the roof are remarkably transparent and invite people to engage with the expansive natural surroundings.”

一旦完成，玻璃墙将包括700座圆形剧场，图书馆，餐厅和起居室300人，咖啡吧，欢迎中心，体育馆和多用途空间，部分低于等级，与媒体实验室和游戏室毗邻。

Once complete, the glass-walled volumes will include an 700-seat amphitheater, library, dining and living room for 300, coffee bar, welcome center, gymnasium and multi-purpose space, built partially below grade, with an adjoining media lab and game room.

Sanaa的KazuyoSejima补充道：“我们的目标是使建筑成为景观的一部分，而不引起人们对自身的关注，甚至感觉像一座建筑。我们希望那些居住在这片土地上的人能够通过河流创造的空间和体验，更好地享受美丽的环境和季节的变化。“

Kazuyo Sejima of SANAA adds, “Our goal with the River is to make the architecture become part of the landscape without drawing attention to itself, or even feeling like a building. We hope that those who are on the property will have a greater enjoyment of the beautiful environment and changing seasons through the spaces and experience created by the River.”
