This is our fourth project to attempt this credit. A major "lesson learned" is to make sure the intent and requirements are discussed early in concept and SD. This can be an immense help in qualifying for the owner and the design team what is meant by common comments such as "bring the indoors in," "connect with the environment out there," etc.
Including illustrations during concept also keep the intent of this credit in the forefront from the beginning. We are finding this credit to be one of our clients' favorites to talk about once the project is completed.
