索诺马县儿童博物馆户外教育设施的设计概念是建造一块互动式游戏区。项目旨在将儿童们与大自然联系起来以激励他们将来的学习并兑现对可持续发展的承诺。在玛丽（来自西班牙语“玛丽波萨”指蝴蝶）花园内，孩子们能学习到昆虫变形（尤指从蛹变为昆虫的过程）和植物授粉的过程，以及种植、收获和在农场站出售水果和蔬菜的过程。

从内陆的山谷稻田到太平洋海面，建筑师观察到索诺玛小镇的环境横断面，设计理念同样来源于此。因此，这个工程集中表现了水这一元素。“俄罗斯河”始于山水源头，流经此处一直到沙滩，一路上经过砾石床和沼泽，给孩子们创造出了一个非常动态、有趣的学习经历。部分水源被用于“机械水区”来发电，此外还有不同的水位提升和管理设施，如：手动泵、阿基米德螺钉和水坝。

水的保留是项目的头等大事。“河”里的水在被回收到此系统之前首先要经过一个水生沼泽，在沼泽里面的水生植物“清洗”之后又将经过一个UV过滤器进行过滤处理。这个过程中没有使用任何的化学物质。因此，儿童们可以安全地在水中玩耍，沼泽中的水生植物也能健康地生长。另外，农场站还是一个雨水收集器，任何一滴雨水都能被回收到“河”的系统之中。

The concept design of the outdoor educational facility for the Children’s Museum of Sonoma County was to build an interactive play area. The idea is to connect children with nature and inspire future learning and a commitment to sustainable practices.

Children can learn about metamorphosis and pollination in Mary's (from the Spanish word for butterfly: Mariposa) Garden, as well as, grow, harvest, and "sell" fruits and veggies at the Farm Stand.The design was also developed by looking at a transect of the environments in Sonoma county—from the inland agricultural valleys to the Pacific Ocean. The project is therefore centered on the main water feature; the “Russian River” begins at the headwaters in the hill and flows through the site to the beach, passing through gravel beds and marshes along the way, allowing for a very dynamic and fun learning experience. Part of the water is used at the “mechanical water area” to demonstrate hydropower and different water lifting and management devises such as hand pumps, Archimedes screws, and dams.

Water conservation was a major consideration in executing the project. Water from the “river” is first cleansed through vegetative material in a living marsh, then through a UV filter, before being recycled back through the system. No chemicals are used and this allows for children to safely play in the water and for the plants in the marsh to thrive. The farm stand also features a rainwater catchment so that any rainwater can be fed to the “river” system.
