A glazed greenhouse with a pleated roof stands as the centerpiece of the Longwood Reimagined project, an ambitious intervention led by Weiss/Manfredi with Reed Hilderbrand at the historic Longwood Gardens, Pennsylvania. This architectural gem revitalizes a key part of the 445-acre horticultural garden, originally owned by industrialist Pierre S. Du Pont, and elegantly reinterprets its natural legacy.
Just an hour from Philadelphia, the renovated space combines contemporary structures, thoughtful landscaping and more than 10,000 plant species. The master plan encompasses 17 acres and includes new buildings, trails and the restoration of existing facilities, consolidating Longwood as a cultural and botanical destination of reference in the U.S.
