Landscape architects SWA have masterplanned the cluster so that the new courses seemingly extend from their respective stadia into the surrounding terrain and adjacent unbuilt valleys. To maintain the natural beauty of the hilly forested site, the design team “pursued a compact, walkable development pattern, minimal grading, reforestation, and waterway restoration.”

They have also added practice ski jumps and a three-lift recreational ski area to the site. In summer, the stadia can be used for off-season training, while much of the terrain will become an 18-hole golf course.
